well, instead of throwing away old corrugated boxes you could make some lovely furniture.
we will see how. take a long card sheet and draw this pattern and then cut this into two
parts, two equal halves. you can see the dark lines are the ones where there will be slits
and these light lines have to be scoured with the needle so that they can fold easily. and
now you fold along the scoured lines into a fan fold. this is a fan fold. then cut little
slits on the dark lines. they are more than cuts, they are like small crevices, because
one needs to go into the other. you make two similar fan folds and then interlock the two
fan folds, the slit of one i the slits of the other. and after doing so you will find
that it becomes a very nice accordion fold. on top of this accordion fold you place a
thick card sheet. and now a very strong table is ready. you can place an ordinary brick
on this table and the table will take all the load without collapsing. its a very strong
table. instead of one you can keep two bricks on top. take old boxes and make honeycomb
structures as shown. place a plywood top and this makes a very strong chair or stool. a
person can easily sit on this and chair will take its load.
