Old japanese boxes

If you want those old japanese boxes (630p X 1000p)... the best I have found until now !

The colors are great!

Mauther has this on his blog, today. I thought these would look good, but his sketchup image is fantastic.

Was anyone else moved to make these?
I'm still mystified as to why I just had to make them.
Is there some occult significance to them?


I even tried giving them to the wife ... "What do I want them for? There's nowt in them!"

OK, I've made 'em ... what do I do wiv 'em now?

You can do what I do. I just leave models in public places. Someone is going to go 'wow, what the heck is this?' and it might bring a smile.

Hi. How can I download to print the Japanese boxes? Can't see a link anywhere?

Place curser on the thumbnail in Pat's #1 post.
When picture expands, left click on it to open it in it's own window.
Place curser on picture (My browser offers a magnify option) Click this.
Now right click on picture and select 'save image as' and put it on your desktop.
Open this jpg file and print 'To fit' on an A4 sheet.
Gloss photo paper gives a good result. (See post #4.)

Be warned though, these boxes are a lot smaller than they look in the pictures.
A 'print to fit page' on A3 will probably make them more useful.

Best of luck, and show us a picture of your build.

Great thanks for that. There was something weird going on with my browser and the fact I am on a Mac, as the thumbnail was coming up as a blue link and then not opening. OK now though.

Thanks, Pat Craft; These are great.

These will make great gift boxes for the jewelry and doll clothes I make!
Thank you!
