Evil Bob's Tom Yardley Jones Build

Looking good, super clean joins there man.

Thanks! It's storming here. I'm glad it's coming out as well as it is.

Gluing the base together.

[karsthotep]

I'll be using your thread for a rebuild on my base for my TARDIS, great stuff here and great build.

[evil bob]

Thanks! Better see how it turns out!

[evil bob]

Just about done with the base. This is my first time using a pocket hole jig. My ladder seems appropriate for a 5th Doctor build.

[evil bob]

Base is done. It doesn't seem wimpy anymore!

[Scarfwearer]

It looks very well engineered!

For my first Tardis I went very simple: the base is solid - three layers of plywood with a bit of trim around the outside. It's very heavy...

Making a window jig.

[fivefingeredstyre]

Making the windows has to be the most laborious part of any build...

[evil bob]

Parts cut out.

Glued and nail gunned.

The jig works great.

[karsthotep]

That's a nifty little window jig setup you have there.   Looking really good all around.

[evil bob]

All windows are done!

[evil bob]

That's a nifty little window jig setup you have there.   Looking really good all around.

Thanks! It worked great, holding the glued pieces together while I nail gun them.

[Volpone]

Taking the time to build a well thought out jig for repetitive work is the sign of a competent professional. 

(Not one of my windowpanes is the same size.)
