LordPresident 01/08/2004 fresnel I bought this from an ebay auction. I paid $35.35 for it. To me, this is by far the hardest part to acquire for any TARDIS builder. Now all I need is a TARDIS to go underneath! That will be coming soon I hope! LordPresident 23/06/2004 fresnel_side As you can see, it is 5.5 inches tall. LordPresident 23/06/2004 fresnel_top ...and roughly 5.5 inches in diameter. LordPresident 23/06/2004 compare I acquired a second lens that is about an inch taller than the first lens. The diameter is roughly the same, although the lips at each end are different . The taller lens has quite a bit of damage to the face and rim as you can see . I will most likely try both and go with the one that looks better in the end . LordPresident 01/07/2004 target1 Here's the look I'm going for in my build, with perhaps a slight variation. I know some people think that the season 18 prop has no character, but it's my favorite for some reason. LordPresident 23/06/2004 target2 From this photo, I'm judging that the quarter round is at least 1", which differs from the 3/4" that most everyone else is using. I can't find any this large, so I'm going to make my own using a 1" roundover bit and a router. LordPresident 23/06/2004 Plan1 This is my initial plan for the walls and posts. LordPresident 25/06/2004 parts Here are all the parts used to construct the lamp. The plywood pieces are 1/4 " with groves and bevels cut with a router. The threaded brass rods are 1/4", and the copper tubing is 1/4" I.D. LordPresident 18/07/2004 dome The dome of the lamp is made from a GE soccer "touch light". The dome shaped piece was removed from the light, and the rest discarded. LordPresident 18/07/2004 lamp1 Here's the assembled lamp before painting. I promised to give my mother-in- law credit for helping me with the design. Thanks Cheryl! LordPresident 18/07/2004 lamp2 Assembled lamp from another angle. LordPresident 18/07/2004 Router Jig I made a router jig to allow the cutting of the corner detail. The bit is a 1" roundover. LordPresident 13/07/2005 End View - corner post Here is an end-view of one side of the corner post. The corner detail has been cut in each side, now it has to be run through the table saw to trim the excess. LordPresident 13/07/2005 Table saw Here I'm trimming the excess from the corner post. LordPresident 13/07/2005 Posts Two finished sides of the corner posts. LordPresident 13/07/2005 Closeup Closeup of the corner post. LordPresident 13/07/2005 Posts2 Here's a side view of the partial corner posts. It seemed like it took forever to make these. I've got all 8 done though, so now it's on to the walls . LordPresident 13/07/2005 wall1 One finished wall with posts attached. For some reason, I mounted the posts 3. 5 inches from the recessed panels. I knew it was supposed to be 3 inches, but apparently I had a lapse of sanity. I'll have to re-mount them correctly tomorrow. LordPresident 31/07/2005 wall1a Here's a back view of my first finised wall with posts attached. This thing is heavy!
