Start by dividing the angle of the top corner into 8ths (fold in half, in half again, etc.). Work from the bottom up on references/pre-creasing. You should be able to get the references by using angle bisectors. This is a really tough one to understand, but it shouldn't be horrible once you get the references! (except maybe getting all of those segments...)

I appreciate it. I'll go fold, spindle, and mutilate some paper, and come back with specific problems.

Thanks,

The best way to learn

I have been going through that with my latest design, but it is finally working out.
