My dad's Davros chair...

A man's best friend...

...is his dog!

Here is K9, the robot dog from Doctor Who.

He is on four wheels, with light up eyes, a bobbing head and a wagging tail. Here he is shown at Weston Favell Library on the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who!

What every doctor needs...

A sonic screwdriver!

Made from machined aluminium, this is a shiny replica of the prop used by Tom Baker during his tenure as the doctor.

This was made with several built-in functions. For example, the screwdriver slides inside itself to activate at the handle...

And also at the top (a feature not seen on the prop but I just wanted it to do more!)...

I have made it portable for carrying around with a 'twist to lock' feature that holds it closed...

And finally the head is removeable to keep it protected during transport, and to copy the original prop...

Knitting!

If there's one thing that all the Burgesses do, it's work with wool and other fibres. One thing that keeps me occupied is making doctor who scarves!

So far I have made 3 accurate scarves, with a fourth on the way from the story "Shada". From Lovarzi, I have bought a season '12.5' scarf, and hand knitted ones from seasons '14', '15', 'shada' and '18'. Below is a comparison between the Lovarzi scarf and my season 14...

Aside from maybe one or two colours, they are indistinguishable from each other!

My season '15'. This and the season '14' scarves were commissioned, and so I do not own them any more.
