Hi Everyone,
This looks so simple but I am simply not able to fold it....is there an easy method? I am talking about fig.3 where the unit actually comes into shape. I am almost ripping the paper trying to make it. Please help. Here's the link:

Ok this is probably ridiculous, but I've cut my A4 paper in half, and I CANNOT get it even split into 5 parts. It's 4.25 inches I know, but I just cannot find the right length for each section. Any help (I don't see how it's 5 inches, I cut it hot dog style like he pretty much explained, it's 4.25 in.)

This is origami, you can let your calculator aside. Check how to do odd (3, 5, 7) paper divisions at http://www.papercrane.org/?a=43
Well the good news, I got it all done Looks nice, I just guessed at the step where it said to fold the sides in (it said 1 and 5 below the paper, Im guessing 1 and 5 inches, but 5 inches was not possible , so I just guessed) so it turned out a little edgy. But it still looks nice. Thanks for helping me with dividing into 5th's .

I tried to make one of these this weekend, with limited success. Step 3 didn't work out, maybe it was the weight of the paper I was using.
Is there some trick to getting these two pieces to merge without warping or bending? I can tell from pictures posted elsewhere that the small end needs to fit inside the large end and the large end needs to slide all the way into the corner.
