- How to build a Tardis: • How to build a TARDIS!... , so now you can stop asking for measurements!!!
Here's a video for the lovers of anticlimactic finales! =D
1) Do NOT try this at home! If you build a TARDIS, use proper tools, protection and your brain at all times!
2) I envy and worship every person who works for the BBC props department! I will however do anything for a bad joke.
3) If this isn't enough TARDIS for you, you can take a look at my build diary on tardisbuilders.com. Also, if you're hoping to get the measurements I used, I'm sorry, I don't have any. That is, I did, but then I had to change and adjust and... I'm just a sloppy worker, I thought I made that clear... Anyway, everything I had that was at least close to blueprints or measurements can be seen at my build diary: tardisbuilders.....
4) I obviously don't really play the nose flute nor the musical saw, although my skills on both instruments are actually slightly better than in the video.
MUSIC USED IN THE VIDEO
Working on the TARDIS:
Featuring the 8bit version of Alex Day's "Forever yours" (Blue version) by actuallydave:

TARDIS speed build:
Kevin MacLeod's "Faster does it" is royalty-free available here:

Really really really really really really bad outro:
Something like the Doctor Who theme music by Ron Grainer was mutilated and performed by myself. Sorry. Like I said, I have this thing for bad jokes... :)

As the son of a carpenter mom, I watched your video with equal parts horror and admiration.
Horror because you used a table saw with the kickback guard and shield up. You're lucky you didn't hit a stiff bit in the wood or it would have knocked you into the wall quite painfully, or just broken your thumb(s) because you were pushing the wood by hand. Its always best to use the push guide that comes with the saw, or use a bit of scrap as a push-rod. Let the inanimate take the abuse. ;)
And admiration because you managed a very good job of making something larger than yourself BY yourself. The foldy bit was a master stroke in my view. I doubt many people would have had that sort of inspiration, much less the foresight to make it easy to dismantle. Plus the lamp globe was brilliant. Cheers to your mom for having it so you could appropriate it!
A couple other suggestions for future DIY projects if I may. Consider making yourself a few sawhorses. They're remarkably easy to make, and it will save you table damage. A couple 8 foot lengths of 2x4 for the legs, a 4x6 about 4 feet long, and a sheet of 1/2 inch plywood. There's lots of simple plans for how to calculate the height measurements while compensating for the angle of the legs. And the best part of making your own, you can customize the height to what feels most comfortable to you. And since they're cheap to make, you don't have to worry when you've sliced and diced one to bits. You just disassemble it (use screws or bolts!) and replace the 4x6 beam or a leg if necessary. :D
And you'll pardon me if I join the masses in appreciating what a beautiful woman you are. But I'll save you the cheesy / creepy marriage proposal. Six time zones is a bit too far of a long-distance relationship for me. I know... you're crushed, I never meant to hurt you, and its better this way, you'll see. [single tear] Oh yeah, and its nice to see a woman who's comfortable enough to not only enjoy bad jokes (such as the preceding dramatic bit), but to admit it publicly. That's a rather rare quality these days.
Anyhow, if you're like most tinkerers I know, you'll be tweaking and improving your Tardis over time. So I'll be interested to see what you do, or what your next project is. Best wishes!
I just have to say I normally don't watch longer videos but in this case I'm glad I did. You are funny, enjoyable to watch, quirky, and non-stop entertaining!!! I haven't enjoyed a video this much in a long time. I'm sure I will be watching more of your videos and if they are even half as funny as this one I will be very pleased. Thank you for making my day today! Now I have to check out this whole Dr. Who thing that everyone is talking about!
That was amazing !!!
Hallo +sillysparrowness. Nach dem was e-penser auf seiner Twitterseite geschrieben hat ("J'aime cette femme") sieht es sehr danach aus dass er in dich verliebt ist ! hihihihi^_^
Alors là, si ne m'attendais à te trouver ici... Ah mais oui c'est vrai, Aldo est un Timelord, il a besoin d'un TARDIS!
Thefriendlycat Moi ou e-penser ?
+Chrissclicks e-penser ^^
e-penser genre il penser regarder cette video
You are the coolest woman in the world...:)
gordon
She is cool.
Cooler... than the eleventh doctor’s bow tie!
I just discovered you thanks to a friend.
I love your humor and your tardis is absolutely awesome
you're so gentle crazy :)
friendships from France
I need to build myself one of these, and I have no idea what I would do with it. But I need one all the same.
You. Are. My. Hero.
That is all...
I know I subscribed to you before and never unsubscribed, but today ramsay said to watch your tardis video and I realized I used to watch you and had not seen any videos of yours for ages. This was wonderful, the ending was worth watching twice, the amount of time you put in your video to make it more fun for the viewer is amazing. I am still smiling.
Thanks for making and sharing.
Rikki Stucki you need one of these lol
Okay. THIS IS AWESOME. Not only did you build a tardis but you did it on your own with no real knowledge. I never even saw plan. This is AWESOME! I am super jealous of your skills.
0:31 Random chicken in the background.
This video is the best of everything ever. I have a German friend, so those subtitles made me laugh out loud. Would love to do this myself. Awesome job!
About once a year I relive DW memories, and that includes this video. You've entertained me (and made me laugh) countless times. Thank you for that.
Brilliant :)
One of the most entertaining TARDIS builds I've seen, and you have a TARDIS to be proud of.
I'm contemplating dipping my toe in the water myself ......
Thank's for the inspiration.
I haven't laughed out loud like that in a long while! Thanks for this!!! Excellent work, on the TARDIS AND the video!
Woodwork at school was not one of my strongest or favourite subjects. Seeing you make this and stay the course, and with humour is just fantastic. :)
I know I already commented once before, but I can't help but find how attractive it is of her working so hard on this. Cracking jokes, making fun, but still doing a amazing job making something she loves. Very, very attractive.
: D haha, I can not tell you how much I love you. Please move to Texas so we can become friends! This video was extremely entertaining and even though, I now see, it's been years since you've built this...I'm so proud of you! Your lamp rocks btw.
Seen this before but I still laughed the second time around. I don't understand all the dislikes on UA-cam, this video rocks.
Nooo please move to bavaria bcs that’s where i live and i want to have a british (i think she’s british) friend with a freaking tardis😂
April, I've enjoyed your video builds as well (the ingrain throwing knife target was fun to build). I'd love to see you and Astrid do a build together. I'd die laughing.
@@Jay-sk7rj She is an Bavaria Woman.
This is the best TARDIS EVER! And here's why...
1) It looks fantastic!
2) It is completely portable
3) Who else can make a TARDIS appear in their bathroom?
4) It was made by you!
Also, I checked "Marry me?", but then had to use a bit of rubbing alcohol to get the ink off my monitor
Please make more videos, please?
this was so funny and i loved the outro!
HA! Ich wusste doch, dass du Deutsche bist! Habs sofort an dem Akzent gehört. :D Wie ich einfach lachen musste, als du angefangen hast auf deutsch zu fluchen. xD
Ich beneide dich mega dafür, dass du dir mal einfach so ne eigene TARDIS gebaut hast. Respekt! :)
+marie „larrystylinson“ Ich auch! :D
marie English please
BenM01 _ I know it is a little late but "I knew you were German! Immediately recognized the accent. I had to laugh when you started ... in german. I’m so jealous that you built your own Tardis so easily
Just recently found this in my watch later list from many years ago. I actually believe this is the first video I found worthy of rewatching and have enjoyed it many times over the years. I hope you are well and prospering as sadly it does not appear you continued your YouTubing for long but your sense of humor and content were wonderful.
***** brought me here, and now I am forever in his debt!
This was a shear delight to watch, extremely funny and brilliantly done!
[Marry me!]
Me too. I just watched Steve and from his video I came here. Glad I did. Bloody awesome
Jason Topnik Me too
*****
Me four
Alonso Quintero Me five
Me fifty millionth...
O: Erst ab Minute 9 hab ich bemerkt, dass du deutsch bist x'D
Wow, mein Respekt, wurde echt genial :)
Bin selbst gerade an einem Projekt, ist zwar etwas anderes, aber es macht Mut zu sehen, dass Projekte auch klappen können :)
Den Akzent erkennt man aber schon
Outstanding job, dear lady, both with woodworking and making the outro. Words can't express my respect and admiration. Hats off to you, chapeau bas!
And those 256 malcontents were clearly from the BBC props department...
Wow! Just found your video! Excellent work! Your Tardis is beautiful! Check out our videos from our farm where we build and fix just about everything! Just a friendly offering of advice though... Seeing how you mention of splatter movies and all... The blade on that table saw should be set to a height of just above the level of the wood. This prevents the saw from kicking back on you and possibly severing a finger (don't ask me how I know). And I noticed there doesn't seem to be a groove for the wood "pusher", that's odd? All table saws over here have a groove with a slider that guides your wood for a nice and straight cut at whatever angle you want to cut up to 45 degrees. Love the German cursing! LOL!
Me: That accent sounds kind of familiar...
*cut*
JETZT GEH HALT REIN VERDAMMTE SCHEISSE
I am a pro woodworker and woodshed instructor part time. I would never make fun of anyone who ene=deavors to and follows through on a woodworking project. As for methodology, there are as many ways to cut and shape wood as there are ways to to skin a pole cat! One note: use a miter sled or miter gauge! You are asking to be injured by freehanding a crosscut!
On your list of things to check off at the beginning of the video? One of them was "Marry me". Ok, but you gotta realize I'm a professional woodworker, electrician, plumber and my shop is twice the size of an average American home. I also cook and clean (a little bit) but I don't do windows so that'll be your job. Ohh, and helping me play with five dogs (I almost forgot that part). And...ummm...what else...you'll have to move to Montana, that might be the sticky bit. Great Tardis job!

I ticked the "Marry me" box!
I'd marry you if I were her. *You're HOT!*
(If you don't mind me saying so...)
Don't let her fool you. You can always tell "intelligence" by the degree of one's sense of humor. Thank you for posting, my dear. What a great production you put together. Can't imagine the hours it took to both build the TARDIS, and to post produce your video. Would love to see more of your production work. At the very least, now I don't feel bad that my own kitchen looks more like a wood shop!
Schade das sie nicht mehr an unserer Schule sind
Obwohl ich einen Verweis von ihnen mal bekommen habe und ihn Französisch bei ihnen eine 5 hatte.
+Dirk Pork Ich weiß nicht, wer du bist, aber den Verweis hattest du bestimmt verdient! ;)
+sillysparrowness Hahaha wahrscheinlich schon :D
Sie ist jetzt am Holbein in augsburg
Fluchen auf deutsch. Ich liebe es! :D
It's 02.21.2023 and this video still ROCKS! You're sense of humor is addicting.
You built your own Tardis??? I L o v e Y o u !
HAHAHAHA I LOVE YOU!
That was out of this world! You go girl! My mom wants to build something. She said she is tired of moving around the sofa and chairs in our apt. This looks fun.
Hey, I really enjoyed this. You are so funny. Say hi to a new subscriber...
Ich wusste nicht dass du deutsch bist bis du verfickte scheiß Schraube gesagt hast haha
Doch doch ihr Englisch hat einen "leichten" Deutsch Akzent (das T)
A big thank you to Steve Ramsey for bringing me to your site. I have spent a couple of days on and off watching a lot of your videos. I love your sense of humor and the alto ego's are great.
I want to congratulate you on a great TARDIS build and you should be very proud of yourself. However, in future i recommend you do a bit more reading on table saw safety if you don't want another injury like the bread knife but 100 times worse.
KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEOS.
bad outro sucksesful
+Dan Chandler Thank you, sir!
Bad spelling successful!
wow you got em there!
Laziness would probably just make me buy a police box online for a few couple hundred dollars.I mean,the TARDIS is a police box,so....
Yes, because police boxes are so common and cheap...
Same here! Steve Ramsey recommended your channel and I LOVE IT!! You are VERY FUNNY!! Thanks for the good laughs!!
Hilarious & inspiring!
Now I want to build one. Your great sense of humor makes me feel building one could be a huge amount of fun. Thanks Astrid! :)
Beautiful Job! As an aside: 1) Until now I didn't realize a nose flute was a real thing and 2) That little table saw is scary! I use a full size saw and would never push wood through with out a fence, sled or miter! I expected it to kick back on you! Love your video Great Job!
Outstanding, both in terms of the innovative folding TARDIS and the brilliant presentation and format of the video, I really enjoyed it :)
This video is golden. You are super talented - not only at building, but at videography and storytelling, as well. Bravo!
16 minutes and 59 seconds of more entertainment than a week of network television. Thanks.
I too was brought by Steve Ramsey. He has a keen eye that one. Excellent job on the Tardis. The chickens are cool too.
I rarely, if ever comment on videos, but i just have to say: This is the sweetest and funniest thing i have seen in a long time. Allons y !!! :)
Great way to get through the rough patches of a project: have a great sense of humor. Thank you for sharing!
This has to be one of the best videos I have watched for ages, You have a beautiful spirit and a wonderful sense of humor. I just had to subscribe and give you a thumbs up.
Take care,
Tony UK
That is fantastic. You could decorate the inside: Mirror panels to create the impression of vast space, bordered by a patern that looks like Tardis walls.
You've done a great job building your tardis. Your skills will only increase as you keep building. Keep up the good work, you lovely lady!
Fantastic stuff, fraulein! Mine is my office, my bar, my baby... My thinking cabinet. You inspired me to build that which I have wanted since I was five years old. Nearly forty years later, job done. Regards. Your's Aye, William.
I have always wanted one of these, and you built one (easily transportable too). Major props for the effort.
That was brilliant. I can't believe you got it to fit together so perfectly. as an old Tom Baker boy, it makes my heart gladden to know that somewhere in Germany there is a wandering TARDIS.
The ending killed me! I swear! I love this! You made my day! Now I feel inspired to make my own Tardis!
It is 2020 and I'm still in love with this project.
Came on UA-cam on a slow Sunday afternoon and watched this video. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Sooo entertaining. The outro, perfect. Sillysparrowness is always the place to come for some good quick entertainment.
Hilarious video! We're currently building a Tardis...actually my Dad, the carpenter, is building one for us, and I'm kinda helping. The light is a pain though. I found a driveway light. The light is powered by 120v, so I removed all the LED stuff and shoved in some RC Car headlight bulbs that I connected to some 9 volt batteries.
»Yes, all of it - just drown me in your nearness!«
☑ _Marry me?_
Well, that was easy …
Oh my … Even her handwriting whispers _„I'm soo smooth, life is beautiful!“_
This lovely woman, truly pure blessing, godsend.
So I'm not much of a You Tube watcher, I seem to get bored easily, and I've haven't found a lot out there that holds my interest for a full video, but I was so entertained buy your video that I actually watched it a few times over and still have to explain to my wife what's so funny on my tablet(and a few hours of why) I love your Idea for the collapsible tardis and am going to under take my own. I just have to figure out where to being and how i'm going to do it!! Thank you,
top marks for attempting and succeeding such a Timelss piece of history. top marks for showing us fellas/blokes/males that if you really want to do something, give it a go. i think you are awesome and funny aswell as talented, way to go mate from a fan down under Australia.
I'm very impressed, the foldable panels are genius...! Bravo
Was feeling a bit down these days... rewatched this... thank you for the laughter!
It's been YEARS since I've rewatched this video. STILL REALLY IMPRESSIVE!! ^-^
Absolutely great! Way to go. Now if you ever tackle building a Dalek. Would love to see that.
SO AWESOME....About to build one myself, hope it works out. Your build gave me a lot of tips to try.
Awesome build and video even with the tiny mistakes. I love your sense of humor! Subscribed
I like the video, but I REALLY love the Calvin and Hobbes comic in the background!!! Keep building, and you are wise to be afraid of the table saw!
Absolutely amazing.
my grandfather is teaching me how to build things and hopefully i can convince him to take up this project with me...
Brilliant! Excellent video. Thanks for sharing your project, your humor, and allowing us to see how 'real' woodworking projects manifest. Cheers!
An American Whovian here. This was a totally entertaining and inspiring video. I will begin by bookcase-to-TARDIS-conversion this weekend. I only wish it would end up as nice as your project. (and bigger on the inside)
Wonderful job on the project and video dear.
Probably the best looking Tardis Builder too.....Great work
Brilliant!
Wish all Time Ladies were like you.
Made me smile.
Carry on.
~The Doctor
Omg..... Love it! Great job... Making it movable is simply epic. Also, video was very entertaining.... Nice job!
Ohmygod that's BEAUTIFUL. Love the outro, also well done on building it! And I shall now have to use "lemons" as an insult more often... :)
That was the most awesome thing ever!! Wow.. I'm so impressed. Well done! I came across this video during one of my many Doctor Who related UA-cam searches. Yes, I'm a fan :) I really enjoyed the way you put your video together - great pace, quirky cool, self-deprecating, self-aware and confident - I enjoyed it greatly. I am going to subscribe and check out some more of your videos. Sincerely, a new fan.
My wife and I both enjoy your video and Tardis.
San Jose, California
Thanks
I think you did a very good job buildin your Tardis and man the most brilliant is your Tardis is portable. The doors you did, i got surprised when watched your video. Im thinking to build one so im looking for people who did their own to see how is it the process. And your lamp you did your own too this is amazing! I love this kind of thing where people build using part of other things. And looks good! You could i don't know use your Tardis to keep books. You can find a way to shelfs as same way you did with the doors.
Congratulations on a beautiful Tardis! I love it. Absolutely love your video so much that I am watching it again.
That is very impressive. Forget about comparing yourself to a TARDIS building website. Having the ability to disassemble and reconstruct your TARDIS within 9 minutes and place it anywhere you want is fantastic!
THIS is the best ever video of building a tardis, made me laugh so much last night, you are such a refreshing change, funny, witty and bloody brilliant!!! You have smashed the German stereotype of having no humour lol...do you have the plans what you used??
Just a thought, instead of a shop light you could use inexpensive battery powered led lights like they have around christmas time for the mini desk trees. That way you could illuminate each of the Police Box signs and the light at the top of the Tardis. That way they would be a little more uniformly lit.
You did great!! You're video was "fantastic" liked the witty banter you did you have a great sense of humour too keep it up I'm a fan from this point on. you have just got another subscriber too!! 👍👍
She put in so much work and it turned out AWESOME AMD BEAUTIFUL
Because of you, I built my own TARDIS. She turns 2 on Saturday. You inspired me so much so I just want to say....thank you.
+Javey Romaine Yay you!!!
The language, Young Lady !!! :P :P :P I loved the "translation" of what you were yelling in frustration XD
Your sillysparrowness makes my heart happy. Well Done!
That is so cool. Love your tardis. I love your commentary alot also. Being portable is a great idea
I'm baaaaack! I saw +sillysparrowness before (this very video to be exact). I loved it the first time so some years later I'm watching it again!
Hi))) Ich hatte sehr viel Spaß beim schauen, danke dir dafür))) Du kannst sehr stolz auf dich sein und ich wünsche euch, mit deiner TARDIS noch sehr viel Spaß)) Übrigens, das Problem mit "Sag mall, was ist das denn für'ne blaue Kiste?!", kenne ich auch sehr gut)) Tolles Werk))))
You criticise yourself for not knowing how to do proper carpentry etc, however I think it's that very thing that gives this video and your TARDIS it's charm. I love how you had to figure it all out yourself and how you had to do things in a slightly unorthodox way. I love the light on the top especially
MOLTO BENE !!!
You are insane and... I LIKE THAT !
Because you're also BRILLIANT !
The Doctor Who fanbase has to be the most awesome in the world. Happy to be a part of it.
You are awesome! I'm now feeling inadequate for asking my husband to build my tardis. In my defense I'm building my own dalek. It's going brilliantly - not! But you have inspired me and I will get there.
Amazingly good job. I'm especially fond of the level of portability built into the design.
Großartig!
Am besten (abgesehen von den Musikinstrumenten am Schluss) war es als du dann doch richtig echt auf Deutsch geflucht hast. Da hab ich als draufgewartet! Oh und bei dem Zettel hätte ich 3 angekreuzt!
So eine Tardis ist echt praktisch
I came from woodworking for mere mortals and found your video to be very enjoyable. After watching a number of your other videos and discovering that you are a teacher I began to remember my third grade teacher. She was also very pretty and I had a huge crush on her. My mom still has some of the drawings I made back then. They are covered with harts and such. Apparently I was pretty sure that Mrs. P and I were going to get married some day. Oh, happy memories!
I would have gone down the scrapyard to find a revolving lamp off an emergency vehicle for the top but you did great. Love the accent, very Anton Diffring!
