Now on the inside of the box tape the sheet of white paper.
To use the pin hole camera, place the box inverted over your head, stand with your back to the sun, and aim until you see the sun. As I recall this setup worked really well.

People have been telling me to put on a tinfoil hat since 1991 so this box is a new welcomed addition. It was mainly lawyers and politicians in 1991 but mostly lawyers after that.
I may try that if I can find a suitable box.
Lowes on US 441/27 was out of solar eclipse glasses this afternoon as well as this morning. I had to go there anyway for a little home improvement.
