Description A Sonic Screwdriver commission, for ~Police-Box-Traveler .

I wasn't going to make any more, but I actually found the material for this in a cabinet we were throwing away at my work. And, he asked me first, so here it is!

Thanks.
See? Boredom at work + scrap = this!

Unfortunately, I don't work there any more (it's closed down), so I can't make anymore right now.

Carthoris In reply to RenegadeGallifreyan [2010-09-06 17:35:48 +0000 UTC]

Unfortunately, I'm not making any more; I no longer work at the machine shop I was working at (it closed down), and my current job doesn't have the equipment. Sorry!

Ahh, such a shame. Whovians everywhere weep!
Out of curiosity how much would it cost me to make one?
Or have a firm fabricate one?

boonedaba1991 In reply to randomness12321 [2011-06-09 19:23:50 +0000 UTC]

I think 50 American would be getting one for a BIG deal.

Carthoris In reply to randomness12321 [2010-05-27 23:13:24 +0000 UTC]

Yep, I made it;
Unfortunately, I can't make any more at the moment, as I no longer work at the shop where I made it.
But, I'm hoping to get access to material and such sometime in the future, just not at the moment.

awesome stuff!! great talent there! hey just wondering if you sell these? and if so how much? i know parts are hard to find but please get back to me on that thanks!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Carthoris In reply to Beautelle [2008-09-06 13:57:34 +0000 UTC]

Actually, I don't sell them, as I use scrap; I don't feel right charging for something we were going to throw away.
But, it's to the point were I might have to start charging, if I end up having to buy the stuff.

I am, however, thinking about trying wood, if that interests you.

Beautelle In reply to Carthoris [2008-09-11 07:33:51 +0000 UTC]

aww but what about the time and effort you put into making it? haha yeah your skills would be in high demand eh? ^^ wood? how would that work? would it slide and stuff? hmm, you could make pens if you used wood! sonic screwdriver pen neways let me know how you go with that then! i'm quite interested depending on price ^^ thanks!!

Carthoris In reply to Beautelle [2008-09-13 15:44:44 +0000 UTC]

Price would be 'Nothing'. Well, maybe shipping, but that would be all.
Going to try and make it slide; of course, I wouldn't want it to catch on fire...

Beautelle In reply to Carthoris [2008-09-15 11:53:14 +0000 UTC]
