I received lots of compliments on a box that I posted recently so I decided to make another one and also do a how to video on it.  This box is designed to hold A2 size cards that are 4 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches.  The svg file is included for download.

Here is the video.  I have been working on it all week.  I think I have actually recorded it 20 times.  It just took a little bit for me to figure out which was the best method to record and upload it.  I initially ended up with over a 600 MB file and that was just to much and it is 16 minutes long and I could not upload it to Youtube with out splitting the file.  I think that I have it all figured out except on my Imac I can not hear the video with out the volume being cranked all the way up.  I think it must be my computer because the volume is fine on my Windows computer.  I was able to get the file small enough so I can host it right on my own site.  This tutorial is meant for people that have general knowledge of Inkscape but should be easy enough to pause the video while you try and work along with it in Inkscape.  This video will give you the basics on how you can create your own custom size box to fit your needs.  If you have any questions, please let me know.

***I was able to fix the audio.  It turns out that it was not me or my computer, it was the microphone that I was using.  I picked up a Logitech USB headset w/microphone on clearance at Target and it works awesome.  Sorry for all the difficulty.
