Click here for a discussion of the Curvulator

The CURVULATOR (tm) is a set of 12 curved scoring slots molded in one piece of sturdy 1/8" thick clear plastic  ... 7 3/4" x 10 1/2" overall.  Use it for making circular curved scores at 1" intervals from 2" to 13" diameter. Can make the curved scores on boxes like those shown below as well as other decorative shapes. A scoring tool is shipped with every Curvulator. By the way, the scoring tool is useful as a folding bone and the larger end can be used to score corrugated cardboard. COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS ARE INCLUDED IN EVERY CURVULATOR SHIPMENT.

NOTE: If you are making boxes with curved elements, the straight scores needed to make boxes should be made on by placing the cardstock against the guide rail on the side of the Boxmaker Originale (tm) platen marked "BOTTOM". The distance from the guide rail on the "BOTTOM" side is essentially equal to the nominal spacing while the spacing on the "TOP" side is somewhat less.

Here is a house with a porch -- made of 3 small boxes

Here are my grandfather and grandmother in front of "Busse Grill" the diner they had built in Newark. Their daughter, Helen, was a waitress there. My mother met my father, a local milkman, there (1929) when he came in for early morning coffee before going on his route.
