It took a lots of paper and failed attempts but I finally made a box I'm happy with

It all started because i couldn't find a box with a rim.
I thought it would be a good place to start in trying to make my own design.
After making it I went ahead and made my first diagrams to go with it.
Thought someone might want to try making it and let me know how easy they are to follow.
I would have uploaded them as a PDF but I dont know how.

You can see the diagrams and previous attempts on my flickr account if you click here

Congratullations on your achievement. Boxes with a rim are not that common in origami. The only one i know of is David Brill's Masu Box which i tried to recreate here:

Great box! I like your colour combination. My wife said that your box is absolutely great and would like to know to fold it.

What do you think about it?

I tried this model out and turns out I failed at step 15. I really am confused at that step of the diagram. Could you please explain it better to me or record a short video? I am having problems interpreting that step of the diagram.

Thanks!
