4-H Fair Project Tardis

[Rassilons Rod]

Great work on this box, I'm looking forward to seeing it in all it's un-shadowed glory

I had to make an emergency trip home to fetch an amp for an electronics project, but since woodworking judging is happening right about now, it's finally safe to show-and-tell.  She had to do a whole lot to pull it all together these past two days, and I'll post those details later (after some much-needed sleep).

Here's my daughter's Tardis!  She is magnificent!

That's one to be proud of, to be sure!

Outstanding! This is a truly Beautiful model made with incredible Craftsmanship (Crafts-woman-ship), and deserves to be marked as high as is possible! I am Certain there are not many 13 year olds this side of the pond that could turn out such a precise fine crafted wooden piece of art and certainly in such a short space of time. You must be incredibly proud of your talented Daughter, and you should be proud of yourselves as Parents in being able to teach your Daughter these skills so ably.... And you can tell her the finished result was worth suffering those days of 'Tragical' nails for!!  Congratulations

Fantastic!  A real labour of love (and nails).

Well done to your daughter from me and I'm sure the rest of the board.

Now get some shots in the Gallery!

awesome final product.

Excited to hear how it went in the Judging. But Most Definately a great job.

Thanks for the encouraging comments--daughter is reading them all. 

We just got home from checking results and she did have a Blue Ribbon and Best of Class so she was quite pleased.  But was really fun was seeing people's reactions when they spotted it--very enthusiastic.  They also couldn't keep their hands off of it.   It's displayed on a narrow table and after seeing a young kiddo try and pull the doors open, she decided some Do Not Touch signs were a must.

Well, the door sign does mislead, a bit.   Well done.  I shall tell my people about this and try to amass a visit to this box this weekend.

If your Daughter ever wants to see a full size box and you are ever in the Quad Cities area I live in Moline.  You are more than welcome to visit and get some photos anytime. Usually people just ring the door asking permission to go back and see the TARDIS lol.

Here's one more shot from the fair display--you can probably see it all better here than that cupboard shot.

Oh yeah, all those stools pale in comparison to a blue box.
