Tip for getting the white translucent plexy glass. Use an orbital sander and sand the inside of the plexy. It turns it white and still lets light through. Looks much better than the spray paint.
Thanks for posting this vid, Steve. A few months back, I decided to build this TARDIS as a photo booth for my Son's wedding reception. Though I am a computer professional, I suck at carpentry; that is until I started building this thing. Now I'm planning other tasks. I had some problems with getting things square and using the cleats at the top of the posts. So I changed things up with door hinges! Replacing the cleats with hinges allowed the thing to tighten up really nice but allows for assembly and disassembly. I also added cleats at the base of the first, second and third tiers to square them and insure nothing falls on drunken heads at the reception. Thanks again! I'll post a few shots of the reception in June. Keep up the great videos. SamK
I'm currently looking for ways to reginarate. I've jumped off the roof of my house face first several times hoping to end up looking like David Tennant. So far I only look like Steve Buscemi...
I thank you for ever for this video! I've put the link in the underbar to my Tardis video, in the hope that people can now stop asking (in vain) for measurements or blueprints and other professional stuff...
The boys and girls on Tardis Builders are generous when mentioning this video - and considering how strict their own standards of quality and accuracy, that is praise indeed.
6:23 Yes, It is.. [] [] [] [] [] [] Maybe i make a smaller one as a model. So i can push my hand through the door. (whovian points if you got that reference)
I am really sorry to be late this much and probably that is my problem but where do i find the plans for the TARDIS. They are nowhere to be seen in the description. Thanks in advance
Done just right, it would look bigger on the inside. I was hoping Steve would incorporate that feature in his Tardis but I forgot this show is for mere mortals...oh well. Good job Steve, you always make it entertaining!
Hey Steve. Just wanted to say thank you. Having never done any woodworking in my life before I finished building one of these for my youngest son who is a Doctor Who nut. He now thinks I’m the best Dad in the universe. I couldn’t have done it without your excellent plans and video that makes it so simple. Keep up the good work. :-)
I gave this a go, and since the comments section is full of people asking for materials lists and cost, here's a quick rundown of what it took me. (really recommend tablesaw instead of any handsaw, cuts came out a lot better) Tardis Building cost list Total so far 374.06$ Common boards (3/4" thick boards) 194.52$ 4”-8's (3.42ea) / 30 102.60$ (16 for height panels, 6 for length panels [scraps from length panels used for cleats] 8 for roof sections 2 and 3) 6”-8's (4.57ea) / 16 72.12$ (4 for police box sign, 4 for roof, 8 for corner panels) 1.5”x 8's (1.98ea) / 10 19.80$ (4 for center panel molding, 2 for base spacers, 4 for police box sign indentation) Various boards 61.11$ 2”x4”x8' (2.84ea) / 6 17.04$ (6 for base) Hardwood 4'x8' panels (7.46ea) / 4 29.84$ (4 for back panels) Fiberwood 4'x4' 14.23$ / 1 (1 for roof top) Screws 1” pocket screw / 248 ( 160 for length panels, 24 for height panels (connecting), 24 for corner panels, 40 for roof 1” construction screw / who knows!? 1.5” pocket screw / 56 (56 for base) 1.25” construction screw / (16 for center moldings, 32 for cleats, 16 for police sign) Various 95.43$ 2 handles 5.96$ 3 hinges 5.94$ 1 magnet 2.67$ 2 bottles wood glue 11.94$ Primer Paint 15.46 for gallon / 7.76$ (used half) Blue paint 23.57 for gallon, / 15.76$ (used 2/3) Black paint 23.57 for gallon / 11.79$ (used half) 1 bottle gorilla glass glue 4.97
You could easily find reusable used wood, from pallets or other things, from Craigslist or Freecycle or similar websites, to do the project for much cheaper, as the lumber is the most expensive part of most projects. We've made lots of things from reclaimed wood, from a chicken coop to a garden shed to bookshelves!
This is fantastically helpful thank you. For the columns did you keep it 1x6 (5.5" nominal) ? However the PDF that goes with this video shows dimensions of 4" and 4 3/4" for the column corners.
Want to thank you for the work you did on the materials list. I reposted it to a more recent date so people could find it. It took me over an hour scrolling through the posts to find yours. I have to build a Tardis for the AZ Ren Faire and this list just cut my research time about 75%. I truly appreciate it. Thank you.
Steve, I made one for Christmas based off your plans for my 8 year old son Kaden. I wanted to thank you for all of your woodworking videos. I would love to share the photos with you.
That is awesome, my son loves Dr Who but he is into computer stuff more and I like to be in my shop. this just may be the project that will get him in the shop for a father son build. Thanks Steve Your videos are fun to watch. keep up the great work.
Consider me a huge fan of your work now! We're thinking about making this as an outside entrance for a big porch we built onto the house about a decade ago. :) Thank you so much!
For everyone who asked below...a TARDIS has no practical use, is just for Doctor Who fans, which is by the way, a huge community all around the World...I am from Mexico and all I can say about Dr. Who is that it rocks!!! So basically, this is just a piece of decorarion for die hard fans, do no expect anything else...thanks Steve, this project was great, there are a lot of great ideas on how to build mine!
Actually , my wife and I were discussing that very thing and we came up with a few uses for a Tardis...A garden shed, an Armoir, even a BBQ shed that would open up and the sides become prep stations with a Grill and mini sink in the back...just a few ideas...
One word Steve....Awesome....if you'll pardon the wood working pun, you nailed it! Been looking forward to seeing this video almost as much as I've been looking forward to the new series of Doctor Who....great build and love the fact you can break it down and transport it where you like! Will definitely be having a go of this when I get my own shop sorted! You the man, man!!
Steve, your presentation is SUPERB - no 'ums' or 'ers' in your talking (thank God) and your presentation is alive and fun with lots of personality!! (Ever thought of being a TV presenter?!) Love your method too. I think you're pretty smart to be able to 'simplify' this and still have it look great. If you decide to light the interior and have the 'Police' signs light up etc. etc. PLEASE post it for us to check out. You're skills are an inspiration and I LOVE the way you do the 'pocket screws' so nicely (and invisibly). Great work. Thanks for posting!! (I'm trying to build a miniature version in Balsa and Basswood. Driving me nuts! Have wrecked TWO already! Third time lucky huh?)
Hey Steve, love this video. My friend and I are inspired to make a TARDIS with methods like this :) I was thinking that you could show us how to make a TARDIS console. The thing with all of the buttons and levers. :)
Fantastic video! Thank you so much for sharing! The fact that you've taken the time to provide an actual PDF of the dimensions is so so helpful! Quick question, what is the exact thickness of the wood you've been using?
Steve, I got my wood, I start building a TARDIS in the next few days.. been planning this for ages.. I keep watching this video, you make it look so easy.. signed mr.grumpy! :D
+Adam Warner Well, no, because if you shattrify the plasmic shell, and modify the dimensional stabilizer to a fault-back harmonic of 36.3, you accelerate the growth power by 59.
Steve you can't believe my excitement when I saw this. Planning on building one for the backyard as storage or something. I can't wait to get s"tardis"ed on it. Right guys?! Okay sorry. But seriously. Wonderful project. Thanks so much. This is my new favorite.
I admit that I had no freaking idea what a TARDIS was until you made the time travel joke when you messed up the windows in the video. I just thought it was a phone booth with an offensive name. :) Then I got it. I've never been in to Dr. Who, but my niece is.
Thought of Barcelona, however it was cut short by Cybermen, the master, and getting a new companion. Other than that I would've liked to visit garcenola. Hot beaches and wonderful water that makes you want to stay a while.
I guess it just went over my head, and Steve you did a great job as always, but I gotta ask, what the hell would you do with it? More request then any project? Please someone enlighten me....
Doctor Who is such a popular show (which Steve has mentioned in prior videos that he is a fan..) the Tardis (Time and relative dimension in space.. aka time machine) is loved by all the whovians. Its like the Enterprise for Trekkies only much more practical to build ;) I've seen many turned into garden/storage sheds but the way he built it its quite easy to take apart again or move around which helps. I'd probably turn it into a little book nook myself.. The new season of Doctor Who is just starting which is why he posted this today.. just a fun homage to something a lot of his viewers have a common interest in. :)
Awesome Steve! I've got a question to all Doctor Who fans. I've never watched the show, but I want to. Do I have to watch th show from the very beginning or is it possible to watch more recent seasons (and in this cas what season or year?) Thanks!
Start with Christopher Eccleston in the newer dr who and once all caught up then try to watch the classic who :) its all on netflix up to Matt Smith's farewell. Allons-y ;)
definitely watch the new rebooted series first as AtlantaHoney said, it'll definitely give you a taste for the show. The older stuff can look a bit corny now if you don't watch it in the mindset that it was made in its time, the 60's stuff looks like most other scifi of the era and while it may not match up to the production values of Star Trek and the like it is still the best of British sci-fi...and as much as I love the new show Tom Baker is still the best Doctor of any of them! just my opinion of course...lol
Alright thanks a lot! I'll sure give it a look, I've been told many times to watch Doctor Who. So from what is called "Series 1" on Wikipedia onward is that right? I hope it'll be up to my expectations! Actually I think it will hehe Thanks again
Now I know how your getting to Woodworking in America! But how/where will you refuel? Will you have to detour to the the Eye of Harmony, the time vortex? Will your TripTik list Artron Energy filling stations? lol Nice job on the Tardis Steve, you made the build look easy, safe travels!
I'm in the process of making a miniature model. I'm using Stencil Blanks for the translucent windows. If you combine that with a plexiglass back, it should give the look and strength you want.
WAY COOL!!! I am an "old school Whovian" from WAY back in the day. I am building this for the corner of the office, (Maybe the living room!).. I was bombed with the "recommend for me" Dr Who lights. All very cool and I'm making one as a night light for the "guest" bathroom. BUT, I kept thinking, "..... ain't they's gotta bigger 'un...". And Voilá!!! It's portable too!
I like to use spacers for specific projects. I have several color coded wood/plastic spacers that I use. I hang them on peg board to find them easily. Nice project Steve. Don't have a pocket hole system. Looks like it will be my next Bday present.
Hi Steve, You're the man, as always great fun to watch. I have been watching Doctor Who since I was a little boy in the sixties , loved the gag about going back in time to correct the window, I hope you continue doing what you do well into the future . Phil
awesome design - and really simple. We will be making ours a bit larger, adding some sound proofing on the inside, and using it for my daughters drum kit.
Reposting this so it's a little easier to find (Big Zeke posted this 5 years ago in the comments.) Steve, your plans are great, but by the gods, man, make a materials list!!!!!!

Your video inspired me. My front yard, 2 acres, has my well in it and I always feared someone not seeing it would drive over it. So I needed a well cover, however the typical lighthouse would not do. So after watching your video I built a scaled down TARDIS, 3 1/2'x2'x2' with a jelly jar porch light on top and a small solar powered LED light. I made the signs with my 3D printer. For the windows I just painted the wood panels white and with the trim pieces it fools people. I did not go crazy with detail because very few people will get closer than 100', but it did turn out great and my wife even explains to uninformed friends what a TARDIS is.
wow,I just find your video. it is awsome! !! God bless the work of your hands. I would love to make one like that for my daughter. I'm making small out of foam cardboar.
Great job, Steve. That was a lot of fun and that says a lot considering I'm not into Dr Who. Clever how you incorporated your son into the cover photo.
i love you steve thank you sooo much you are a life saver because im going to make a doctor who series and we a tardis fast so thank you i do have a question how long did it take to do the whole product
Hey Steve just wondering if you could build a Dalek as well since I have built many TARDIS's and Daleks in the past and would like to see how others would build one. Thanks.
This would be so much fun to have on your front lawn for Halloween. I like the idea someone else said of moving it around the lawn randomly. All you you need is one of those blink statues to go with it.
You are astonishing! Just out of interest do you have, or can you point me in the direction of anything to do with fire surrounds please? I am just starting out with woodwork and would appreciate any advice that, you can give me on this
brilliant build, great video. I'm planning on building one of these for my partner who loves Doctor Who. Where can I source the plexi black police box signs?
Another great project. Would make a great outside changing area for near the beach. Cant wait to retire in 2044 so I can get to work on all your projects!!!
Thanks for finally making the Tardis. Really enjoyed it. Did it turn out bigger on the inside? I don't have the space or budget for the full scale but I want to build a smaller one.
Tip for getting the white translucent plexy glass. Use an orbital sander and sand the inside of the plexy. It turns it white and still lets light through. Looks much better than the spray paint.
I'll remember that tip I'm building a TARDIS
Thanks for posting this vid, Steve. A few months back, I decided to build this TARDIS as a photo booth for my Son's wedding reception. Though I am a computer professional, I suck at carpentry; that is until I started building this thing. Now I'm planning other tasks. I had some problems with getting things square and using the cleats at the top of the posts. So I changed things up with door hinges! Replacing the cleats with hinges allowed the thing to tighten up really nice but allows for assembly and disassembly. I also added cleats at the base of the first, second and third tiers to square them and insure nothing falls on drunken heads at the reception. Thanks again! I'll post a few shots of the reception in June. Keep up the great videos. SamK
I'm currently looking for ways to reginarate. I've jumped off the roof of my house face first several times hoping to end up looking like David Tennant. So far I only look like Steve Buscemi...
Do it a couple more times and youll look like Christopher Eccleston
@Charles Chenot A few MORE times and you'll look like William Hartnel. (He's dead)
@Gramps 69 Nova yes I know he's dead, "but some day he will come back. Yes, some day."
I've never been a Dr.Who fan but I do love the tool-free assembly of this design! I've seen flat-packed garden sheds that wouldn't stand up to this!
I thank you for ever for this video! I've put the link in the underbar to my Tardis video, in the hope that people can now stop asking (in vain) for measurements or blueprints and other professional stuff...
Is it just me or does anyone else wish Steve's videos were longer.....great job on it and keep up the great work!
Shweeet! Knew this was going to be cool. I just can't believe how quick you put this project together! I suspect time travel?
Muito legal, vendo vc construir esta cabine me deu ideia para fazer outras peças, parabéns.
Fancy a trip in the box?
I realize I am quite randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to watch new movies online ?
The boys and girls on Tardis Builders are generous when mentioning this video - and considering how strict their own standards of quality and accuracy, that is praise indeed.
6:23 Yes, It is..

Maybe i make a smaller one as a model. So i can push my hand through the door. (whovian points if you got that reference)
i remember that episode
Took me a minute, ha
Ah yes capaldi era
Edwin Jackson first off, love the job you did, truly top notch, but I’m just curious if you remember how much this project cost?
It's about north west.
*pats hand to the right* bout that way
That's awesome Steve! I watched Astrid's video a while back, it's hilarious she did a great job.
From one Whovian to another, well done, Steve!
I love all your videos, but this one is by far my favorite!
I am really sorry to be late this much and probably that is my problem but where do i find the plans for the TARDIS. They are nowhere to be seen in the description. Thanks in advance
This is absolutely amazing!!! I might build just the front side of it for a new set of doors to my shop :)
That's a great idea :)
Done just right, it would look bigger on the inside. I was hoping Steve would incorporate that feature in his Tardis but I forgot this show is for mere mortals...oh well. Good job Steve, you always make it entertaining!

Doesn't work on wood....
That is awesome, my son loves Dr Who but he is into computer stuff more and I like to be in my shop. this just may be the project that will get him in the shop for a father son build. Thanks Steve Your videos are fun to watch. keep up the great work.
I LOVE this! I'm building it now. I've had a few issues making it a little more difficult than shown but I'm figuring it out as I go!
It's done! Had to make a few adjustments but I love it!
I wish I could share a pic here but I can't for some reason!
+Stephen Sapp Make a video! I'd love to see it!

Hi Steve! You're amazing! I was trying to do my own TARDIS but i can see that the web page of the plans or template is down
he charges for plans now ig
we used your plans to make our own tardis and i have to say it's fabulous....thanks
You should put a dust collector inside it and keep it in your shop
***** you totally should!!! it'd be cool to see it in the background of the videos lol
***** you could hook the dust collector to a blue light on top that pulses when its on.

Quick question, what is the exact thickness of the wood you've been using?
I'd be too tempted to turn it into an outhouse.............OMG...a "Turdis"!
No.
Steve, I got my wood, I start building a TARDIS in the next few days.. been planning this for ages.. I keep watching this video, you make it look so easy.. signed mr.grumpy! :D
How'd it go?
You don't build a Tardis.
You GROW It.
LOL I get it
But that would take years
That's correct, fellow doctor who fan.
+Adam Warner
Well, no, because if you shattrify the plasmic shell, and modify the dimensional stabilizer to a fault-back harmonic of 36.3, you accelerate the growth power by 59.
yea
Steve you can't believe my excitement when I saw this. Planning on building one for the backyard as storage or something. I can't wait to get s"tardis"ed on it. Right guys?! Okay sorry. But seriously. Wonderful project. Thanks so much. This is my new favorite.
Awesome!
It would be so cool to use as a wardrobe! ... Guess I know what I will do over my summer holidays this year.
It was so funny to me when you said don't blink XD. It sounded sunny in your accent XD.
Steve, love what you do here, my medium is metal , you safely show non carpenters like me great stuff. Keep it up. Love your old Ford by the way......
This is epic! I think i'm going to make this as my new shed.
Im a huge doctor who fan and I ended up sat next to him ! (david tenant) on the safari ride at alton towers, was the best moment of my life.
That's amazing!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO you blinked!? i guess we can expected further videos to be done by Angel Steve, say hi to Angel Bob for us!
Very very nice. Been waiting on this all afternoon and yet again Steve you haven't disappointed.
I admit that I had no freaking idea what a TARDIS was until you made the time travel joke when you messed up the windows in the video. I just thought it was a phone booth with an offensive name. :) Then I got it. I've never been in to Dr. Who, but my niece is.
It always takes me a good minute or so to start properly watching your video because I keep rewinding the intro :P
My Right ear loved this video
Can't believe you got that while project down to 8 minutes! Well done Steve!
So where/when did you go for your first trip in the TARDIS?
Thought of Barcelona, however it was cut short by Cybermen, the master, and getting a new companion. Other than that I would've liked to visit garcenola. Hot beaches and wonderful water that makes you want to stay a while.
Other than that it was in the 71st century, when all peace galaxy-wide was prosperous and healthy.
So cool! The Doctor landing in your yard!
you gave that design a lot of thought, was it your own design
+scott mclean Yes.
I was expecting to see your son as the doctor but it was fun to see him on the thumbnail. I'm not a Dr. Who fan but I like the project!
I guess it just went over my head, and Steve you did a great job as always, but I gotta ask, what the hell would you do with it? More request then any project? Please someone enlighten me....
It's British, Use it as a second Garden Shed of course.

Materials List?
Dude, your place just looks awesome. Nice hows, sunshine surrounded by green. Awesome.
Steve Ramsey for next Doctor!
How do you know he isn't already The Doctor?
EDIT: Or a time lord at the very least?
Why not? He's already played House. :P
RazorHD Correction it's Jodie Whittaker
I love your Micro Jig intros. You're very creative Steve- and funny!
Awesome Steve!
I've got a question to all Doctor Who fans. I've never watched the show, but I want to. Do I have to watch th show from the very beginning or is it possible to watch more recent seasons (and in this cas what season or year?)
Thanks!
Start with Christopher Eccleston in the newer dr who and once all caught up then try to watch the classic who :) its all on netflix up to Matt Smith's farewell. Allons-y ;)
definitely watch the new rebooted series first as AtlantaHoney said, it'll definitely give you a taste for the show. The older stuff can look a bit corny now if you don't watch it in the mindset that it was made in its time, the 60's stuff looks like most other scifi of the era and while it may not match up to the production values of Star Trek and the like it is still the best of British sci-fi...and as much as I love the new show Tom Baker is still the best Doctor of any of them! just my opinion of course...lol
Alright thanks a lot! I'll sure give it a look, I've been told many times to watch Doctor Who. So from what is called "Series 1" on Wikipedia onward is that right?
I hope it'll be up to my expectations! Actually I think it will hehe
Thanks again
as long as it's from 2005 you're on the right track!
That's exactly it :) Thanks
The easy set up and take down feature is excellent.
Full size Millennium Falcon next please.
Symon Fobbester Then a full size Enterprise-D please.
Lol
Jax Moreno ...And then a full size Death Star!
Now I know how your getting to Woodworking in America! But how/where will you refuel? Will you have to detour to the the Eye of Harmony, the time vortex? Will your TripTik list Artron Energy filling stations? lol Nice job on the Tardis Steve, you made the build look easy, safe travels!
I would rather steal one then build one.
The Eleventh Doctor Great joke fellow whovian
Good reference
LOL I get it
So.. you want two??
God knows where you would find a police box. You can never find a policeman when you want one.
I like the closing scene. I hope that was on purpose, you staring at the camera like that. I really enjoy your channel.
please make a list of materials. then ill be able to make my own tardis
get the plans and do the math jackie
You gained a viewer over this awesome old video! Love it!
Do you have a materials list?
that's ok, but do you know what kind of wood you used,i am going to build this project for 4h and to cosplay with it.so it would be a great help.
+Elijah Batz I know the list:
wood
wood
wood
wood
wood
annnnnndddddddd wood
:O
The sonic screwdriver's weakness is wood.
no its not
I'm in the process of making a miniature model. I'm using Stencil Blanks for the translucent windows. If you combine that with a plexiglass back, it should give the look and strength you want.
Next, BattleStar Galactica!
WAY COOL!!!
I am an "old school Whovian" from WAY back in the day. I am building this for the corner of the office, (Maybe the living room!)..
I was bombed with the "recommend for me" Dr Who lights. All very cool and I'm making one as a night light for the "guest" bathroom. BUT, I kept thinking, "..... ain't they's gotta bigger 'un...". And Voilá!!! It's portable too!
GUYS GUYS LOOK WE NOW KNOW WHO THE 13TH DOCTOR IS !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Moises Elias The 13th doctor was announced yesterday! Jodie Whittaker, a woman! I AM SERIOUS
Yeah she is a bitch sjw who thinks she can be the doctor
@@calebhammond4650 She originally just wanted to be a one-off villain but the new show-runner asked her to audition for the role of the Doctor.
And the 16th lol.
I like to use spacers for specific projects. I have several color coded wood/plastic spacers that I use. I hang them on peg board to find them easily. Nice project Steve. Don't have a pocket hole system. Looks like it will be my next Bday present.
Are you sponsored by Kreg?
***** you should paint all your Kreg stuff red and see how long it takes for them to call.
Just in time! We need a cabinet for all our paint equipment. What could be better?! Thank you very much. I love it.
I`ve done everyhing like you sait but it`s not working,it`s smaller inside than outside and can`t time travel !
I have the same problem!
Just waste of money, dude I'm so pissed off !
You have to put a bigger pocket universe into the exterior shell
Hi Steve, You're the man, as always great fun to watch. I have been watching Doctor Who since I was a little boy in the sixties , loved the gag about going back in time to correct the window, I hope you continue doing what you do well into the future . Phil
awesome design - and really simple. We will be making ours a bit larger, adding some sound proofing on the inside, and using it for my daughters drum kit.
Where did you get the true 4” and 6” wood? Or did you use a table saw and rip bigger boards?
Well worth the wait! Excellent built!
Reposting this so it's a little easier to find (Big Zeke posted this 5 years ago in the comments.) Steve, your plans are great, but by the gods, man, make a materials list!!!!!!

Your video inspired me. My front yard, 2 acres, has my well in it and I always feared someone not seeing it would drive over it. So I needed a well cover, however the typical lighthouse would not do. So after watching your video I built a scaled down TARDIS, 3 1/2'x2'x2' with a jelly jar porch light on top and a small solar powered LED light. I made the signs with my 3D printer. For the windows I just painted the wood panels white and with the trim pieces it fools people. I did not go crazy with detail because very few people will get closer than 100', but it did turn out great and my wife even explains to uninformed friends what a TARDIS is.
wow,I just find your video. it is awsome! !! God bless the work of your hands. I would love to make one like that for my daughter. I'm making small out of foam cardboar.
Great job, Steve. That was a lot of fun and that says a lot considering I'm not into Dr Who. Clever how you incorporated your son into the cover photo.
i love you steve thank you sooo much you are a life saver because im going to make a doctor who series and we a tardis fast so thank you i do have a question how long did it take to do the whole product
How can this channel be so AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks for the free plans!
I now know how to design the single bed sized Murphy bed I’m making!!! Thanks Steve!
Haha wow, looks great Steve! Now, keep the time travel theme going and build a De Lorean please.
steve this is totally awesome congrats on a amazing build
Hey Steve just wondering if you could build a Dalek as well since I have built many TARDIS's and Daleks in the past and would like to see how others would build one. Thanks.
I love this idea Steve!!! I would try to transform the inside and make it an off grid shower. Great video thanks for sharing
I've never watched Doctor Who, but this project is very cool. Great job Steve!!
This would be so much fun to have on your front lawn for Halloween. I like the idea someone else said of moving it around the lawn randomly. All you you need is one of those blink statues to go with it.
I cant wait till you build the *inside*!
You are astonishing! Just out of interest do you have, or can you point me in the direction of anything to do with fire surrounds please? I am just starting out with woodwork and would appreciate any advice that, you can give me on this
Eek! Yay! New season starts tomorrow! WOOP WOOP!!
brilliant build, great video. I'm planning on building one of these for my partner who loves Doctor Who. Where can I source the plexi black police box signs?
Another great project. Would make a great outside changing area for near the beach. Cant wait to retire in 2044 so I can get to work on all your projects!!!
This is great, I have been waiting on you to build one. Now I just have to make one.
i really like this project i think i am going to make it with my daughter over the bank holiday weekend as Dr Who is on tomorrow!
Thanks Steve!
Thanks for finally making the Tardis. Really enjoyed it. Did it turn out bigger on the inside? I don't have the space or budget for the full scale but I want to build a smaller one.
Cool build Steve. You know I was thinking you could add an exhaust to the top and use it as a portable spray booth for smaller projects.
As always awesome, you even got the video in under 9 min impressive.
I bet you had the Time of your life building this - great work as usual, thanks.
