There is a nutty :D video already out there about this box. However, that one is not showing the locking of the modules, which is quite essential to get a box that you can actually use :)

    I can imagine that when doing the locking as you describe using a tooth pick the end result looks better on the inside as you don't have to pull the whole flap in order to lock. Made the lid indeed with a smaller piece of paper but note that this differs from the diagram.

    haha.

    I actually found it helpful to use a toothpick on the locks. If you unfold the pocket you can use a toothpick to pull out the little triangle part of the pocket far enough for the flap of the other module to insert under. Then you fold back that triangle and close the pocket to form a strong lock.

    I was stupid enough to try this model for the first time on foil paper, but I got lucky and did it alright.

    I assume you made a lid for this with slightly smaller or larger paper?

  • At least your folds ...

    At least your folds are still accurate! :D when they aren't (I experienced 1st hand) it may already fit and you cant lock properly ;)

    I've been lookin at this model for a while now...better give it a shot.

    Though I don't think I understand the point of the fold you made at 5:00, it seems that's what causes the flap to not fit in the pocket very well. Oh well, thanks for the video :)
