Click on the first design, only way to learn how to fold is with a 10 minute YouTube video with plenty of the usual padding to get it to 10 minutes+ and "if you don't have the template" spread through out.

So basically just buy the $35 worth of books and templates they're selling.

I'd watch a 10+ min video on Publisher '97!

Rather sad at work that it is no longer available to subscription folks.

Come on! They're selling you books in the $20 range and using free (if slightly tedious) videos to promote said books in a polite and non-pushy way. I can't believe this upsets people!

Play the youtube video. You don't know what you're saying.

I used to spend a lot of time with origami books. They didn't have videos. You could consume the information as quickly as you wanted.

Unless, of course, you couldn't do that because the instructions were completely inscrutable. That happened a lot. More the rule than the exception, really.

Videos solve so many problems in this context. They would have saved me hours of confusion. Why would you complain that the free instructions are superior to the instructions you can pay for?
