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.  YOU ARE PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH THE WORK OF FRANK GEHRY WHO RECENTLY INTRODUCED ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE SCULPTURAL CURVES INTO COMMERCIAL ARCHITECTURE.

This is a model of a real diner in Harrison, NJ. My grandfather worked here before he had his own diner built in Newark, NJ. 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. Elegant boxes made by Michael Elwell with our Boxmakers. Many of them covered with fine leather.
