I built a TARDIS

How to build a Tardis: • How to build a TARDIS!... , so now you can stop asking for measurements!!!
Here's a video for the lovers of anticlimactic finales! =D
1) Do NOT try this at home! If you build a TARDIS, use proper tools, protection and your brain at all times!
2) I envy and worship every person who works for the BBC props department! I will however do anything for a bad joke.
3) If this isn't enough TARDIS for you, you can take a look at my build diary on tardisbuilders.com. Also, if you're hoping to get the measurements I used, I'm sorry, I don't have any. That is, I did, but then I had to change and adjust and... I'm just a sloppy worker, I thought I made that clear... Anyway, everything I had that was at least close to blueprints or measurements can be seen at my build diary: tardisbuilders.com/index.php?t...
4) I obviously don't really play the nose flute nor the musical saw, although my skills on both instruments are actually slightly better than in the video.
MUSIC USED IN THE VIDEO
Working on the TARDIS:
Featuring the 8bit version of Alex Day's "Forever yours" (Blue version) by actuallydave:

TARDIS speed build:
Kevin MacLeod's "Faster does it" is royalty-free available here:

Really really really really really really bad outro:
Something like the Doctor Who theme music by Ron Grainer was mutilated and performed by myself. Sorry. Like I said, I have this thing for bad jokes... :)

That was amazing !!!

I just have to say I normally don't watch longer videos but in this case I'm glad I did. You are funny, enjoyable to watch, quirky, and non-stop entertaining!!! I haven't enjoyed a video this much in a long time. I'm sure I will be watching more of your videos and if they are even half as funny as this one I will be very pleased. Thank you for making my day today! Now I have to check out this whole Dr. Who thing that everyone is talking about!

[@pendragonphotography5242]

I just discovered you thanks to a friend. I love your humor and your tardis is absolutely awesome you're so gentle crazy :) friendships from France

[@RobbsHomemadeLife]

I know I subscribed to you before and never unsubscribed, but today ramsay said to watch your tardis video and I realized I used to watch you and had not seen any videos of yours for ages. This was wonderful, the ending was worth watching twice, the amount of time you put in your video to make it more fun for the viewer is amazing. I am still smiling. Thanks for making and sharing.

[@Naturaljerseygirl2014]

Rikki Stucki you need one of these lol

[@Paritan164]

This video is the best of everything ever. I have a German friend, so those subtitles made me laugh out loud. Would love to do this myself. Awesome job!

[@AprilWilkerson]

: D haha, I can not tell you how much I love you. Please move to Texas so we can become friends! This video was extremely entertaining and even though, I now see, it's been years since you've built this...I'm so proud of you! Your lamp rocks btw.

[@FavioRamirez]

Seen this before but I still laughed the second time around. I don't understand all the dislikes on KZbin, this video rocks.

[@Jay-sk7rj]

Nooo please move to bavaria bcs that’s where i live and i want to have a british (i think she’s british) friend with a freaking tardis😂

[@Nick-xs3ui]

April, I've enjoyed your video builds as well (the ingrain throwing knife target was fun to build). I'd love to see you and Astrid do a build together. I'd die laughing.

Just recently found this in my watch later list from many years ago. I actually believe this is the first video I found worthy of rewatching and have enjoyed it many times over the years. I hope you are well and prospering as sadly it does not appear you continued your YouTubing for long but your sense of humor and content were wonderful.

[@PawVideo]

Brilliant :) One of the most entertaining TARDIS builds I've seen, and you have a TARDIS to be proud of. I'm contemplating dipping my toe in the water myself ...... Thank's for the inspiration.

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

Okay. THIS IS AWESOME. Not only did you build a tardis but you did it on your own with no real knowledge. I never even saw plan. This is AWESOME! I am super jealous of your skills.

[@alyssabueno6128]

this was so funny and i loved the outro!

[@oaksho]

This has to be one of the best videos I have watched for ages, You have a beautiful spirit and a wonderful sense of humor. I just had to subscribe and give you a thumbs up. Take care, Tony UK

[@alhernon]

Outstanding job, dear lady, both with woodworking and making the outro. Words can't express my respect and admiration. Hats off to you, chapeau bas! And those 256 malcontents were clearly from the BBC props department...

This video is golden. You are super talented - not only at building, but at videography and storytelling, as well. Bravo!

[@phydeux]

As the son of a carpenter mom, I watched your video with equal parts horror and admiration. Horror because you used a table saw with the kickback guard and shield up. You're lucky you didn't hit a stiff bit in the wood or it would have knocked you into the wall quite painfully, or just broken your thumb(s) because you were pushing the wood by hand. Its always best to use the push guide that comes with the saw, or use a bit of scrap as a push-rod. Let the inanimate take the abuse. ;) And admiration because you managed a very good job of making something larger than yourself BY yourself. The foldy bit was a master stroke in my view. I doubt many people would have had that sort of inspiration, much less the foresight to make it easy to dismantle. Plus the lamp globe was brilliant. Cheers to your mom for having it so you could appropriate it! A couple other suggestions for future DIY projects if I may. Consider making yourself a few sawhorses. They're remarkably easy to make, and it will save you table damage. A couple 8 foot lengths of 2x4 for the legs, a 4x6 about 4 feet long, and a sheet of 1/2 inch plywood. There's lots of simple plans for how to calculate the height measurements while compensating for the angle of the legs. And the best part of making your own, you can customize the height to what feels most comfortable to you. And since they're cheap to make, you don't have to worry when you've sliced and diced one to bits. You just disassemble it (use screws or bolts!) and replace the 4x6 beam or a leg if necessary. :D And you'll pardon me if I join the masses in appreciating what a beautiful woman you are. But I'll save you the cheesy / creepy marriage proposal. Six time zones is a bit too far of a long-distance relationship for me. I know... you're crushed, I never meant to hurt you, and its better this way, you'll see. [single tear] Oh yeah, and its nice to see a woman who's comfortable enough to not only enjoy bad jokes (such as the preceding dramatic bit), but to admit it publicly. That's a rather rare quality these days. Anyhow, if you're like most tinkerers I know, you'll be tweaking and improving your Tardis over time. So I'll be interested to see what you do, or what your next project is. Best wishes!

[@MacGyversWorkshop]

Wow! Just found your video! Excellent work! Your Tardis is beautiful! Check out our videos from our farm where we build and fix just about everything! Just a friendly offering of advice though... Seeing how you mention of splatter movies and all... The blade on that table saw should be set to a height of just above the level of the wood. This prevents the saw from kicking back on you and possibly severing a finger (don't ask me how I know). And I noticed there doesn't seem to be a groove for the wood "pusher", that's odd? All table saws over here have a groove with a slider that guides your wood for a nice and straight cut at whatever angle you want to cut up to 45 degrees. Love the German cursing! LOL!

[@Joewoodworker]

On your list of things to check off at the beginning of the video? One of them was "Marry me". Ok, but you gotta realize I'm a professional woodworker, electrician, plumber and my shop is twice the size of an average American home. I also cook and clean (a little bit) but I don't do windows so that'll be your job. Ohh, and helping me play with five dogs (I almost forgot that part). And...ummm...what else...you'll have to move to Montana, that might be the sticky bit. Great Tardis job! Joe Johns, Twisted Knot Woodshop www.twistedknotwoodshop.com

[@davidlowe5192]

A big thank you to Steve Ramsey for bringing me to your site. I have spent a couple of days on and off watching a lot of your videos. I love your sense of humor and the alto ego's are great. I want to congratulate you on a great TARDIS build and you should be very proud of yourself. However, in future i recommend you do a bit more reading on table saw safety if you don't want another injury like the bread knife but 100 times worse. KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEOS.

So I'm not much of a You Tube watcher, I seem to get bored easily, and I've haven't found a lot out there that holds my interest for a full video, but I was so entertained buy your video that I actually watched it a few times over and still have to explain to my wife what's so funny on my tablet(and a few hours of why) I love your Idea for the collapsible tardis and am going to under take my own. I just have to figure out where to being and how i'm going to do it!! Thank you,

Can't imagine the hours it took to both build the TARDIS, and to post produce your video. Would love to see more of your production work. At the very least, now I don't feel bad that my own kitchen looks more like a wood shop!

[@chriscastielredy]

I think you did a very good job buildin your Tardis and man the most brilliant is your Tardis is portable. The doors you did, i got surprised when watched your video. Im thinking to build one so im looking for people who did their own to see how is it the process. And your lamp you did your own too this is amazing! I love this kind of thing where people build using part of other things. And looks good! You could i don't know use your Tardis to keep books. You can find a way to shelfs as same way you did with the doors.
