I'm TARDIS obsessed, so I wanted to make my own time machine. Sadly though, I can't find an instructable on how to make it bigger on the inside yet. I didn't really follow a pattern other than I had a desktop wallpaper, a bunch of scrap plywood, and some free time. This project was a first in that most components were glued on. The majority of my builds have haphazardly placed screws and hardware. This was a challenge in trying to figure out how to get things to stay put while the glue dried. First thing to tackle were the distinctive front doors. I started out with several 2X4 sheets of plywood I got for a dollar at the local Restore. I ripped a bunch of 1 inch strips and used wood glue to attach the to the door panels.

I used european hidden hinges to attach the doors to the sides. The TARDIS is going to double as a dvd cabinet so I can be entertained while traveling through time and space. A lot more gluing and clamping, this time on trim pieces to hide some of the plywoodiness. All the gluing really slowed down the process, but turned out to be worth it in that other than door handles, no hardware shows from the outside. The top and lightbox are added and glued on. While I waited for the glue to dry, I contemplated options for the top light. I found some small solar landscape lights that would have worked-if I wanted the saddest light ever.
