		<description><![CDATA[These are quite wonderful, puzzle boxes and remind me of puzzles in films. You have to solve the puzzle to open the box. You can buy some, for example the snake box, which costs just under $700 has tessellations on the top. By moving pieces around, eventually you end up with a chessboard pattern and [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a video on how to fold paper (Origami) into CD cases. Useful for mailing in the post though I&#8217;d recommend a piece of card inside as well or use thick paper. Not a lot [...]]]></description>

Possibly to send to anyone of the opposite sex who humiliated you or rejected your advances at school etc! Link Republished by Blog Post Promoter]]></description>

It then generates a calendar kite (shown is one for 2008) which you print, then cut and glue together. You can see what one looks [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I bought a clock made from watch parts once, when I stayed in the Anjoa hotel in Leeds in 1991. The watch parts were arranged around the actual clock face i.e. decorative not functional. I think it cost me £35. The owner was selling them. These 16 motorbike models are also made from watch parts. [...]]]></description>

Although I have a black belt in origami (I made it myself -using black paper &#60;groan&#62;), when it comes to cutting, I am not the worlds greatest.

At one point I had 83 aircraft hanging from my ceiling, mostly 1/72nd WWII but also a few modern aircraft including the Hercules transporter. For a kid with asthma this was probably most unwise, as model aircraft are a dust magnet, but every three months [...]]]></description>
