Part 3 of "What would the neighbors think...?"

Yes, another renaming, but this is the final title of this piece.

And the final result...


I decided to leave the doors off. I wasn't happy with the design, and since this is a "try-out" model, I decided not to put any more time and material in this model. I wanted the doors to be taller, so they would overlap part of the drawers when closed, which would make the drawers inaccessible at the same time as the text body. So that's for the next box!


For the text body I used a concertina fold, with the valleys held in place by copper rods
 inserted into the base and top



There is no text in the body, just inkjet-printed old family photos.


I topped the protruding rods with vintage brads.
