The best about this manual was that it was dedicated to the author's wife! Who says engineers are not tenderhearted romantics?

1800 pages to go...
I have recently upgraded my Flickr to a Pro Account. This means that I have been able to tell how many hits my pictures have. Surprisingly, by far the biggest attraction, in fact 6 times more popular than the next most viewed pic is this one of the folded books I made a while ago!
I have been folding some more books - Some engineering manuals actually! I love how these boring [to me anyhow] books have taken on new life.
The next one I am busy on is a 2484 page manual! I have got to page 684 so far.
I try to work on these books when something else is on the go - like chatting to family members or 'watching' TV, or even just thinking! The repetitive nature of the work can be quite soothing if I am in the mood for it!

Lovely work...I love seeing old items upcycled for a different purpose.And you do it so beautifully....
I totally understand why everyone loves this. It's beautiful. Like a totally different take on origami
Phew - that's a BIG book! And how lovely that you're transforming it with your FF magic :)
I also still fold books (have not a single surface left to put the new ones though ...)
Omigosh, I would love to do an engineering manual of that size!!
Oh, I just adore the freshly found online boutique. It's making saving for my holiday quite difficult!!!:)
That's awesome. Are you under Freshly Found on flickr?
Engineering manuals have never been so lovely. You inspired my blog post for today, thanks!
