<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 250902, member: 54"]Tips for opening the box safely: open the top (address label) side of box since there are large photos lying flat on bottom of box and you don't want to cut them. There's one sharp object where I didn't think to put a guard on the blade, namely a boat-caulking chisel, has a straight blade about an inch across. Object is bright steel about 6" long. Don't rummage around in box where you can't see. The small, heavy blue or maroon box contains hundreds of small objects that you don't want to spill on a shag rug or you'll never, ever find them all. It is a flip-top box same as the small gold box, so open that one first for practice. Open blue or maroon box carefully over something that will catch any of the small things that might spill if box opened upside-down or too quickly. There are a few glass items and one in long yellow box is fragile, I can't guarantee it will arrive intact and if it doesn't, I'm sorry for not packing it better but I'm not going to be able to replace it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
