All helpful hints appreciated. Photodiagrams greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

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.
