Looking amazing there, Jon - although the Dalek in the front of your last picture's not terribly impressed....

Thing of Beauty Jon -
I bet that when you go to bed tonight, your thoughts will still be out in the workshop, thinking about the next step...
Great stuff! :D

Glen,
You are absolutely right. I went to bed around 02:45hrs this AM after uploading my pics to photobucket and adding the new posts.
It truly is a great feeling working on this build. I just remember how much I wanted to have a TARDIS when I was a kid and now it's becoming a reality. Very nice indeed!

Dale, this is your first response on my thread, and I appreciate your comments and your work on this board -- Thank you!
I had laugh when I read your post! :) I totally agree with you that my Dalek did not appear too impressed >:(, but that's his usual look. It's hard to find a good Dalek and especially one that is impressed by Time Lords! ;) You know how those Dalek's are, not very photogenic! ;D

I appreciate both yours and glens comments.

I don't know how to post multiple quotes, I hope this worked.
I basically had to open another tab in Mozilla and cut and paste another quote. Is that you how you guys are doing it?

Cheers,
Jon :D

Just to add - something I've said to several stateside people today, that having a passion for something is great, amazing and truly wonderful. I'm really glad you're going to have your TARDIS, Jon, and thank you for sharing the project with us, it's appreciated.

Dale, thanks for those kind and inspiring words.
I am glad to have an audience WHO enjoys TARDIS's/British Met Police Boxes, Dr. WHO, K9's, consoles etc!
I have said a few times on this forum that the nicest people I met are right here on this board. I wish the rest of the world could have a little more compassion, empathy, integrity and a sense of nobility that I have witnessed here. We all need a little Dr. WHO inside of us. ;)
In addition, to your passion statement. I agree whole heartedly.
One thing I wanted to add personally, is that in my life, there are what I call the 3-D's (Desire, Determination & Dedication) that equal success at anything in life. The fuel or catalyst that inspire those 3-D's is passion. Passion makes the whole thing kinetic.

These are my words!
Jon

PS - How do you change the font size and colours of your quotes in bottom of your posts?

use size= and then what size you want, and colour= and what colour you want, in square brackets [], at the start, and don't forget to close the tags again at the end or it won't work!

For example open bracket size=3 close bracket, then the same for colour and then your text, followed by open bracket /size close bracket and the same for colour again

Karst - many thanks! I am glad to see the progress myself. I have to place the stiles on the plywood this week. Looking forward to that for sure. She's really coming together. ;D
As for the sign boxes, they are up next, right after I place all the stiles into position. The signage, I still have mixed feelings about what to use after your previous post. I really want that TARDISie look. I will be upfront, I really like the 2005 signage look, the font, the background and lettering colour. I just don't know if it will look right. I am looking for opinions. ???
Again, I am following Glen's manual and making modifications with the help of Purp, Colin along with anyone else's suggestions as I go. I only used Doc Neale's plans for dimensions of the box itself. In addition, at this point I am only going to make a two step roof instead of three. I think I might just put the old girl in my home and she won't fit with a three stepped roof.
On page 3 of my thread I posted Doc Neale's plans, as well as Rob Semenoff's plans just for signage comparison, but have not gotten any feed back. Anyway, anything your can help me with I would appreciate that very much. Thanks again, you have been a huge asset to my build and an inspiration. I remember looking on Glen's web site looking for TARDIS plans and spotted your build. I sent out a handful of emails and you were the first and ONLY person that contacted me back. Remember? Seems like a long time ago. Any new pics of your build? I've been watching for them.

Dale -- many thanks! Your instructions worked like a charm.
Just to clarify the previous post, you were referencing the SHOP VAC, right? ??? Not my friend Tim in the background? He did have a smug look on his face. He could be a Dalek in disguise! LOL. If it is the SHOP VAC, that Dalek was sucking a ton of saw dust yesterday and almost burned out! :o
Oh, another dumb question, what's the deal with Karma? I have a 5, what does that mean?

Cheers,
Jon

Ladies and Gent's, a few more pics I forgot to post. ;)

[image]

Why did I cut into the bottom side of the 2x4 header ~ 1"? Well, the door heights are supposed to be 78" tall on my plans. I cut my vertical stud is exactly 78" from the base to correspond with the door height. I forgot to figure the 1/2" of door that is concealed behind the 3-steps above the door. So I really should have cut the vertical studs to 78.5" So I made the height of the opening between the header and base 80" to allow for clearance of opening doors. Also, I had to chisel out a 1/2" on the sides to allow for the stiles of the doors to be concealed behind the corner posts a 1/2". Just FYI!

Looking good Jon, it's really coming together now. In the mean time, get a big, fat, felt tip pen and draw those windows and panels on the walls - that'll give you an idea of what it'll be like when you finally cut them out! In fact, you could really go to town and add all the other details on too... might be a bit of fun.

Hmmm, writing to TARDIS owners on The TARDIS Library and not getting an answer, bar Karst... that's a bit mean. Mind you, you didn't write to me :'(

Keep up the great work.

Hey Man!

You mailed me Dr. Iz and I sent you a mail on 4th April directing you here.... did it get lost? Or are confusing your builders ;)

BTW your TARDIS is looking great keep up the good work

Hi Jon

No problem.

My Police Box is a bit odd because I bought it from a company called 'this planet earth' and since then have made modifications. So this is probably not the route you want to go down.

The good news is that there are loads of people doing the same thing as you - building one from scratch.

My advice would be to join http://tardisboard.proboards43.com/ you will find lots of people who could help you there and the answers to the questions you have, which are common questions.

Also check out http://groups.msn.com/thetardisbuildersguild/ . If you trawl through the pictures then you can find plans for different types of Tardis (for there are many)

Check out the links on both of these sites.

One particular link takes you to pages by 'kiwidoc' (http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/~trekker/policeboxes/) a fan from New Zealand who has an excellent website with instructions on how to go about building one - a Tardis builders guide. The only thing he doesn't give you are the plans themselves but you can get these through the other sites (or draw up your own)

I have recently repainted my box Weathershield high gloss Royal blue. I am not sure which pictures you have seen, it has been a number of different shades over the years, possibly french navy.

Best of luck!

Out of interest, which website did you find my Tardis on?

Purp,
This is how I got started, when I first saw the New Series on SCIFI, I got interested in building a TARDIS. The New Series brought back a rush of old memories, one of them was to have my own TARDIS. So, I started goggling Dr.WHO and TARDIS. One night, I came across, Glen's site. I did not find his manual that night, but found the page on Replica's. I emailed those people who had links with emails. Pete Darrington, Alasdair Dewar, and Andy Blues if I remember correctly. I saw pics of your build, but no email, otherwise I would have sent you an email too ;). I was quite manic about getting a TARDIS built and needed help on how and where to start. :o
After going through Glen's site, I saw the manual link and downloaded it. The next day, Karst sent me a return email and that's how I came to be on both forums and this far on my build.

I have to clarify here, I did receive an email from Manta directing me to Glen's web site, the TR2 forum and msngroups tardis builders guild as well. I almost forgot, until he mentioned the thing about planet earth and remember checking out the price and decided I would rather build one -- THANKS MANTA and SORRY! :-[ That's my story!

I like your idea of drawing the windows out on the ply. What dimensions did you cut your windows? The recessed panels are 12x15". I was figuring 13x16" for the windows this way a 1/2" of stiles would be exposed from inside looking out. Is that what you did? What about the phone panel dimensions?
Thanks for following my build and your suggestions.

Cheers,
Jon

Matt, dude, I am sincerely sorry and please accept my apology man. I feel badly. Soon as I saw your post, I recalled the email you sent. I appreciate your help. Back then, everything seemed new and a bit confusing. I just simply forgot. I should put it out there, Matt and Karst both have been awesome with support, encouragement and a source of inspiration to get the ball rolling on my build. Many thanks! To everyone else following and helping me with my build, a million thanks too.

Matt thanks for your comments and following my build!

Just because I have sometimers disease, sometimes I remember, sometimes I don't; I want to apologize to anyone who might have sent me an email reply that I did not remember.

My apologies everyone,
Jon :-[ :-[ :-X :'(

Under other people's Karma scores, there's:
[ Exalt | Smite ]

If you click on the Exalt they get +1 Karma, if you click on Smite they get -1 Karma. Of course the administrators can dish out Karma as they like, so some people have LOTS of Karma. I believe you can only do this once per day.

Karst, hey thanks for asking. I wish I could say I got a lot done over the weekend, but given it's the July 4th weekend, I had to prepare for picnics at the old homestead. I hope to get my stiles all placed on the walls this week and I got measurements from Purp on the cut out dimensions for the windows, so that will be next too. Hopefully, by this weekend I will have the doors made as well. The next step is the to make the 3-step header just above the doors and walls. Once I get that done, then I will work on my sign boxes. I can't hardly wait to see the stiles up on the walls. The 'old girl' is starting to come together.
I will post some pics soon. I'll keep you posted!

So, how are you coming with your build. I feel bad seeing both our threads moving down the list due to inactivity at times. Sometimes, I just want to put a quick message in your thread to get you back up there! LOL. ;D I am very eager to see your progress as well. Dude, I appreciate your continued support. +1 Karma to you!!!

Cheers,
Jon

Dr. Iz,
I am new to forum and just wanted to stop in and say hello. I see you are starting the header and sign boxes. I am only asking because i am starting a virtual build of the Hartnell tardis, before i commit to lumber. I have already reached a dilemma. To attempt a conon build which would't be too difficult in a 3dcad program or a more practical build.

I believe this is a similar design to Timegirl's sign box. If you need any help in what if designs in a virtual build , just let me know. greg

Greg,

Hey man, welcome to the forum.
I am sure you find everyone to be quite help and very supportive.
I appreciate you 3d drawings. I know nothing about CAD and would love to learn how you guys are doing it.
As far as your drawings, love the details, very helpful.
I will definitely keep that in mind as I approach my sign boxes, so I will be in touch.

Also, how far away are you from Erie, PA? It's nice to meet a few stateside chaps.

Cheers,
Jon

Jon,
Thanks for the welcome. Burton is about 35 miles east of Cleveland. Erie , PA. from Burton about 60 + miles. You are right about the support and expertise on this forum. Alot of information to digest. I also want to thank Colin on his window tips. He also has me thinking fiberglass for the roof. Living in northeastern ohio means i must keep weatherproofing clearly in sight.
Anyway , I did some more work to the police sign. This time a print.


Dimensions may not be accurate. Just a test run. I must also think about fasteners which are also not on the print.
Long day and getting tired. Thanks again, greg

Greg,
Well, we are basically neighbors. Bach4me(Benjamin) lives in Norwalk just South of Cedar Point.
It's nice to have some builds going on close to each other. I appreciate you 3dcad. I will referencing you images for my sign box builds.

Cheers,
Jon

Update,

Working on marking all the lines on the plywood for the stiles and window cut outs.
Does anyone have any other comments on dimensions on the sign boxes Greg posted above.
I am trying to mark all the plywood to get an idea of placement and how she'll look.
My plans just show the 6" height. No length or width. Also, what about the internal sign box dimensions where the signs are to be placed. Anyone?

Thanks. I hope to have pics to post soon. :D
Jon

PS - Greg can you reduce the size of the pic in your last post by a little? Don't delete the pic, I like it! Thanks J.
