As far as TARDIS’s go, there’s only a few ways fans typically make them. And that’s a big or small blue box that goes somewhere. What isn’t typical is when you’ve opened the door to go inside is to find an entire control room there. Especially not one as crazy as the one YouTuber Todd has created. It’s got so many bells and whistles that it’s hard to see all of them in a single viewing. There’s switches and knobs galore. There’s a working computer built into the panels. Heck, there’s even a flux capacitor. Which is a nice touch if I do say so myself.

Of course any description I try to give really won’t do it justice, so be sure to watch the video below to see this magnificent piece of work.

And we begin this week with a moment of appreciation for one man’s single-minded devotion to the TARDIS. As regular Who’s Day readers will know, quite a few Whovians have the skills required to knock up a police box, whether as a shed, or a cake, or the front of their wardrobe.

However, YouTuber The Todd deserves a round of applause, as he has spent over a year creating a TARDIS in his back garden that contains a console that actually serves as a serviceable work desk, complete with hidden keyboard, DVD-drive (and what looks like some 8-track cartridges), screen, and flux capacitor.

Looking for a geeky way to hold your phone while it’s charging? Well look no further, because here comes a cool solution. This TARDIS phone charging station is just the thing you’ll need to turn your otherwise ordinary desk into the Cardiff Rift.

Do you ever sit back in your cube, listening to the hum of fluorescent lights and the low rumble of keyboards clacking away in the distance, wondering how you can take your geek cred to the next level? Well, I’m pretty sure that a handmade TARDIS phone charging station would do the trick!

So I finished Kaylee’s TARDIS Playhouse last night. My wife and I brought it up from the basement with almost no issues. We had Kaylee hidden away in the back room so we could put it in place. She was very concerned when she first saw it but quickly realized it was a really big box to play around in and on. I had to piece the carpet interior because the remnant we bought wasn’t actually enough to it proper but I figure she will pretty much destroy the interior anyway. Oh, and the lock is just three pieces of .040 styrene that we scored on one of our vinyl cutting plotters . I glued the pieces together and used putty to get the edges smooth.

So I’m not the type of person who gets really excited about any particular kind of jewelry. Especially not rings. But OH MAN this TARDIS ring is pretty. The outside of the band has bumps that are suspiciously like the Bumps on a Dalek’s armour, and the TARDIS actually spins in its socket. How bloody cool is that!

All it needs now is a tiny jewelled doctor to pop out of it, and it’s perfect!

Up until now I have been making videos of crafts that were inspired by others, and then engineered by myself. Or at least were heavily influenced by an existing thing. My chewbacca domo for example while being a completely original design, was still based on an existing stuffed domo.

That’s changed with my TARDIS sewing box. I’ve been fighting with a way to keep all of my sewing gear in the same spot, and I have looked at all kinds of different places to find something that didn’t look like it was made for an old lady who really enjoyed floral patterns.

After months of fruitless searching, I had still found nothing. But I’m a DIY guy. I got this.. but the question was “what should I make?”. So many options to choose from, what should I do?

Inspiration hit when I was at my sisters. What seems like forever ago, I had made her a case for her Barbies out of plastic canvas. It’s after I saw that, that I decided to make a TARDIS.

So I sat down and started designing. And designing. And then some more desigining. But eventually I had a pattern to work from.

A mere 43 hours later (over several days) I had myself my very own TARDIS!

Sadly it isn’t bigger on the inside, but it is big enough to hold my scissors, and pretty much any other sewing essentials I’ll need to travel with. The only real down side is that it’s actually pretty large.. so it isn’t quite as portable as I’d like, but I’m still pretty happy with the way it turned out.

There’s a super cool pillow with the Gryffindor crest, a mario musroom pillow (again, on, not in the shape of).

I don’t know if I’d call the heart shaped pillow “Geeky”, but it’s definitely super neat. Possibly a good valentines gift if your significant other’s into realism over the silly “heart” shapes normally associated with the day.

The Wonder Woman and Hunger Games pillows are pretty neat as well. The Wonder Woman logo really suits as a pillow, and the Hunger Games one would go with pretty much all of my furniture.

But my favourite is the R2-D2 pillow. It takes a pro to make it, but it looks super cute and cuddly, just like I imagine R2-D2 to be. Ok, he’s not super cuddly, but he should be.

Nothing beats having something you have hand crafted yourself, to decorate your room. Well, apart from the luxury bedding you saved for a while to buy! So below, I have listed my favourite knitted pillows from across the internet, to inspire both novice and expert knitters! Get out your needles and yarn and get crafting, there’s still nine months to Christmas, so you could make everyone one by then. So, here goes, best geek knits…in the form of pillows.

Soon after I began the console, I took it into my head to build a TARDIS/Police Box. This project was to consume much of my little spare time until July 2000. The Console was pretty much on hold during this time.

Unfortunately I took very few photographs during the construction (I guess I’m just shy).

The Doctor and Romana on a beach I decided to make my TARDIS as accurate to the Season 18 prop as possible. The BBC prop was fibre-glass by this point in its history. The earlier ones (there were several, apparently) had been wooden, but doubtless the production team were fed up with moving it around, as it would have been very heavy. I wanted one that seemed authentic to be around, so I decided to make mine very solidly out of wood. As a result it is not very portable, and is designed to come apart in sections, partly to get it through doorways, but also because it’s too heavy to lift in one piece. As it turns out even the separated sections are so heavy that I need help to move them.

I also wanted my TARDIS to look good on the inside. A real Police Box has flat walls on the inside, but I didn’t like the look, so I repeated the exterior detailing inside – twice as much work, but I’m happier with the result.

The print itself is only $15, which isn’t super cheap, but is still in the realm of “reasonable”.

I suppose you could always get your own vintage dictionary. It would definitely cost less per print, and you could make a bunch of different prints of your very own.

Doctor Who Tardis with Robin on an antique recycled vintage dictionary art page print.

The artwork is digitally printed directly onto an old encyclopaedia page and each print is hand signed.

It comes unframed and unmounted and at one size, which is: 7.6 inches x 10.5 inches / 19.8cm x 26.5cm approx. It fits nicely within an A4 frame with a mount if desired. (The frames shown are for illustration purposes only, they are not for sale).

These pages are all cut from bound books, this means that the left margins can differ slightly in width.

The page shown here is from the same book your print will be on, though the background text will differ, so each one is 100% unique.

The pages are rescued from old books, so they can contain some minor imperfections due to their age.

The photo of the prints hanging in the room is not to scale. The prints have been enlarged so that you can see them more clearly.

Your print will be protected in a re-sealable plastic photo bag and sent in a protective envelope.
