Origami 4 Interlocking Rings - from One Square No Cutting!

[Intermediate] How to fold Four Interlocking Rings designed by Iris Walker. This model amazingly is from one square no cutting, but it is rather fragile. I made a tutorial special for my members for how to fold my sturdier and more efficient version of 4 Interlocking Rings.

I learned it at my first origami convention in 1991 (New York) and it had a profound impact on my ability to design models. Suddenly there was a way to make super efficient narrowing of appendages and make seemingly disjoint subjects all from a single square of paper. I've since incorporated the technique in many of my designs and I coined the term pleat sinking to describe the technique. Pleat sinking is kind of like box pleating, but with pleat sinking the pleats are not confined to a horizontal and vertical grid. Any flap in origami that you can sink, you can pleat sink too! Inspired by Iris Walker's 4-link chain, I designed several other linking rings models in the 1990s including 2 Interlocking Rings, which I assume was probably achieved by someone in the 60s (I mean, if they could do a 4-ling chain, the ought to have been able to fold a 2-link chain!), but my main contribution that I am pretty confident I was the first to discover was a cool method for how to lock two ends together so that they hold together well. You can learn my special lock by following my Two Interlocking Rings tutorial here: https://youtu.be/Jd1xw8jA9QQ. After discovering the special lock, I modified Iris Walker's Four Interlocking Rings model so that I could lock all of the ends together using my special lock and I even managed to generalize the linking rings model to be able to achieve theoretically any number of rings utilizing the special lock, but in practice the most I ever accomplished was a chain of 8 rings, which I published in Origami to Astonish and Amuse. A few days before filming this tutorial, I figured out a cleaner, easier method for folding the Four Interlocking Rings, still using my special lock, and that is the tutorial I made special for my members. A little about the creator of original 4-link chain... Iris Walker, who was editor of the British Origami Society magazine from 1969-1974, played an important role in the development of folding with a series of models that were ahead of their time in many ways. Subjects included a cannon, a helicopter, a flexagon, a sports car, a dog in a kennel, a ball within a ball, a blow-up 3D star and many others.
