Darth Ambiguous say "Relax"

Bored this summer? Build a TARDIS!

Infinitely faster than growing one.

Making a Simple Tardis Bookcase =============

~ $60 + 15 hours (lots of it in between waiting for paint/ wood glue to dry)

bill of material:

1. structural (use screws)
2 pcs - 11.25” x 0.75” x 18” (sold as 11.5” by 1”, cut to 18” at HomeDepot)
4 pcs - 11.25” x 0.75” x 36” (sold as 11.5” by 1”, cut to 36”)
24+ pcs - I used #6 x 1.25” (anything #6 - #10 and 1”+long would be fine)
1 pcs - 19” x 36” (backboard; can be cut from big 4’ by 8’ of of thin plywood)

2. top decoration (use wood glue)
2 pcs - 3.5” x 0.75” x 12” (sold as 3.75” by 1”, cut to 12”)
1 pcs - 3.5” x 0.75” x 19.5” (sold as 3.75” by 1”, cut to 19.5”)
1 pcs - 11.25” x 0.75” x 17.5” (sold as 11.5” by 1”, cut to 17.5”)

3. fine decoration (use wood glue)
6 pcs - 31.75” x 2” (cut from big plywood sheet)
12 pcs - 2.625” x 2” (same plywood. * I used 11/32” thickness, but any works)
4 pcs - 2.625” x 1” ( just break two of above into 4 pieces)

4. For the top tardis alarm light, I used a PVC pipe connected to a pipe cap

5. your choice of blue spray paint + wood glue

You can buy all these from HomeDepot, and get most of them cut for free there as well. Pictures are worth a thousand words, so I made some CAD drawing for anyone who wants to try this as a weekend project. Good Luck and Cheers!

If I’m to understand this correctly, the following things exist:

1. A Lego website where people can pitch new lego sets.
2. A campaign to make a series of Muppet Legos.

Obviously these are both the best thing ever.

GOTYE - ‘EASY WAY OUT’ VIDEO

The ‘Easy Way Out’ video was made in Melbourne by animator/director Darcy Prendergast and the Oh Yeah Wow crew. A true labour of love, the video took nine months to finish. The set was a five room house built from scratch and took up Oh Yeah Wow’s studio space for almost nine months. We’re extremely pleased with the results!

From Wally: “The guys from Oh Yeah Wow made this grouse new film clip for ‘Easy Way Out’ with me(s). Hope y’all enjoy!”

It took Barry Shields a month to build, and will only cost you US$3,100.

The Star Trek Enterprise one-of-a-kind coffee table is made from ash, poplar and cherry wood with a 1/4” glass top stong enough for you to put your feet on after a long day upholding the prime directive.

Beware the BARK SIDE of the Force.

Of course it’s an ad for VW.

This is the wicked awesome Hildebrandt poster Lunchbox I picked up today when I was out grabbing last minute presents for the TinyTot. Unlike most of the other lunchboxes I have gotten lately, this one is embossed. Pretty awesome.
