Well, I got them from my local hardware shop, B&Q, but this type are available at most hardware shops in the UK and other shops may be cheaper.

I forgot to say, the handles are of course sitting on my well loved and well looked after copy of the TARDIS Builders Manual.
RESPECT to the creators!

Nice handles TG. The handle I got from B&Q was a iron one (same style) and it was this one that Wilkinson's had the exact same but far cheaper.

I haven't seen this type before?

By the way, I'm back, up and running, all systems go. Oh, and this computer has a keyboard, cool!

A dry weekend - yippee!
(But I still bought a tarp)

First pair of doors nearly in place and I hope to have them all in by Monday.
I'm still going for the inset panels and beading - Beading not on yet so the wood looks narrower than it will be. All panels for doors are all cut; they just need to be fitted.

Either I'm very short or I've made this TARDIS too big! - Anyway it seems to have proved that I will only ever be looking through the phone panel door - never the windows  :'(

Spirit level shows - level (a miracle)

Looking great!   The suize always comes as a bit of a surprise I think -  I can only peer through the bottom row of windows from the inside looking out as well.   :)

Hey, thats looking very nice.

I bet you can't wait to get some blue paint on it TG!

Didn't you say when you were new to this site, that your woodwork skills were non-existent? Judging from your last picture, either you were lying or you're a fast learner!

I knew you could do it, nice work.

Looking good. The bevels and panels will really make it seem substantial.
You might be going to need a bigger step ladder...

looks great, TG! I hope you don't have to try working under that tarp.. what with the english summertime we're having   ::)
It must be very exciting to have something real underway.  :D At the moment I'm still at the mercy of my friend's (the carpenter) schedule; all due respect to you for getting tooled up and building it yourself. I have three small problems - lack of space, lack of tools and a proven lack of carpentry skills, d'oh  ;D
All the best with the rest of your build! Keep the photo journal going, I'm planning to document my build this way (once it starts).

cheers

Thank you for all your support I really really appreciate it! :)

It's looking a bit more like a TARDIS today
Panels in front and back, but beading only on the two lower panels on the left, so they look better - I think?

And I didn't get any splinters today! Perhaps  at last I'm learning to be more careful! - touch wood  ;D

The slatted floor looks like a really good idea for an exterior box. It'll make any necessary drainage easy, and could also help with airflow to stop dampness.

Great stuff...

Excellent, Excellent work TG,  You are really moving ahead quickly now it seems.  I agree with crispin the Slatted floor is a good idea to minimize moisture inside.   I can't wait to see more progress pictures.
