10:20 is one of the proudest memes I've made, not sure if I can ever top it. Very scared of running out of Potter jokes down the line so if you have any super obscure ones drop a comment!
Your ability to perfectly match these wands to their resin ones is absolutely outstanding. Can't wait for all the wands to be made. You are a master wand maker. And we are glad to be able to see your work.😁
Sorry for your loss mate 😥 It's awesome that you have the connection to your grandpa through your work. Keep up the awesome work and keep him close with you.
I think that where it went wrong with the steel wool and vinegar is you sealed it off inside of a jar. If you had let it get more oxygen by leaving the lid off and allowed the steel wool to rust more it might have worked better. It's the rust in the vinegar mixture that helps it stain oak. You did do a pretty good job making a close copy of the wand you were going for.
Best one yet. I love the incorporation of a real knot instead of faking it. That way, the grain matches how it would really flow around a real knot (because it is real).
You are doing your grandpa proud, I think he would be very pleased with where you are taking what he helped start. You now I seem to have missed something in the other builds, this is the first one where Ive seen you put a core in a wand, so Im off to have a look for more now. This is a very cool share ...thankyou
These are a lot of fun to watch. The little edits you throw in here and there are really clever, and it's obvious you're really enjoying what you do. Great work, man. Keep 'em comin'.
When making ebonizing solution, make sure to fully wash and strip the protective oil from the steel wool first before putting it in vinegar. It also helps if you use higher concentration vinegar such as cleaning vinegar rather than cooking vinegar. You might also have to wait for 6 days for it to get to a better concentration, but I think the reason it didn’t break down at all in 3 days was due to the steel wool still having oil on it as a barrier to the vinegar These videos are some of my favorite on all of UA-cam, not only because of the excellent craftsmanship and love put into every wand, but how you show figuring out the entire process and your great sense of humor. I’ll be here for the whole journey and I can’t wait to see more wands, they are works of art!
I was going to say the same thing. I use that same vinegar &steel wool solution as a leather dye. Takes around a week or so for it to react fully with the steel wool. Also be sure not to leave the jar sealed tight as the reaction off gasses a little bit.
Every time I’m blown away. You’re so talented, and these videos are the best! They’re interestingly informative, clever and funny, and just overall cool 😎. Thank you for making them.
Cedric Diggory‘s wand has always been my favorite! But now that i see this, especially the one you made, i really must say that this is an icredibly beautiful piece of art!
Just discovered your channel and it's amazing to see the quality and attention to detail - especially the inclusion of the core - this is usually left out by others when making replicas.
I work picture frame shop and we occasionally use ebonizing solution on walnut frames. It’s a really cool finish and a ton of fun to use, but every wood reacts different since it’s a chemical reaction, white oak seems to turn a sort of grey while walnut properly ebonizes and turns nearly black, some woods don’t react at all Side note, the solution is usually a dark yellow color and turns paper towels pinkish strangely enough
Such an incredibly passionate wand maker! Seeing you work with the unpredictable and luck with different woods is a sight to see! Best of luck on the next project/vid, you really are worth of being Ollivander’s apprentice
Sorry for your loss. I hope he'd be proud of this one. I like it a lot. The rougher texture you gave it with the brush looks more realistic and authentic to me. BTW, I think the ebonizing solution may have failed due to an oil or wax protectorant on the steel wool. Maybe iron nails would work better.
I have no clue if this is lore or not. But to me the silver rings look like wedding bands. If so it would make sense that her ring would be closest to his hand. Maybe the cause of his demeanor and temperament.
Hello! I am a huge fan of your work! Around Easter I have actually tried making your Arthur Weasley wand myself on my lathe and it turned out pretty good if I say so myself.😊 (But not as good as yours of course)
alastor moody probably one of the strongest, Ex-Auror's and member of the order, he's a highly skilled versatile wizard when it comes to defense quick reaction, and fighting off dark wizards, he may no longer be an auror, but did he still kick ass though, unfortunate that he died though, but hey can't deny he was one the best if not greatest wizards at his day and age, a shame we didn't get more of him, we technically did when Jr. disguised himself as moody, and a little bit in order of the phenix, deathly hallows pt.1 Either way, awesome work, you pulled this wand off amazingly and honestly I like mad eyes wand alot, just the way it looks XP
That problem that makes you manually start your drill press is likely a failing condenser/starter. I have one that works the same way! Watching you deal with the pewter rings and the mortise/tenon joints reminds me of the process we use to make tobacco pipes, which frequently have decorative rings at joints, while the pipes use mortises and tenons to keep the bowl and the stem in perfect alignment. You might also find it useful to study the textures used to hide blemishes on tobacco pipes. Many of them would make cool wands! There's a big difference between the way we make tobacco pipes, though: most of us use metal lathes, rather than wood lathes, even though we are working mostly with wood. The movement of the tool holder on a metal lathe allows us much more perfect joints than a hand-held tool does. You might find it instructive to watch a few pipemaking videos! Here's an example. He makes the accent ring from wood instead of pewter, but the process is the same. ua-cam.com/video/kViWn3ON0Ww/v-deo.html
I love it. I've so far, made the Sirius wand (successful ebonising). And both Luna wands (im remaking the tulip wand, as i got the proportions wrong, but it still looks great)
I found your channel a couple days ago and have almost finished watching all your videos and they have been so enjoyable to watch. I can’t wait for when you make Harry or Hermione’s wands as they’re a couple of my favourites besides the Elder wand!
What tickles me is that Bartemius Crouch Junior impersonating Moody is actually a pretty good Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher (or "Defence" if we're using British English).
The way the wood looks in the replica makes me think of a Shillelagh (Blackthorn cane). I would have went with Blackthorn for his wand just on the knob and the colors they went with but that is my personal opinion.
Have just found your channel, and I am completely absorbed in the process of your wand making - you are surely a modern day Olivander! Subscribed. 🪄✨🧙♂️
the bumps could also be burrs. lumps form where trees have insect or cuts and try to heal themselves. what ever the lumps were, makes the wand look more interesting.
These videos never disappoint. Beautiful craftsmanship as always. Like you said, it was destined for you to use that stick as material for a girthy and rugged wand like Moody's. Seeing you display forging skills with the pewter was also impressive. I may have missed it, but have you always incorporated the core in your wands? I'm trying to recall if I've seen you do it in other videos.
I don’t know anything about wood staining but quite a lot about colour theory, so what would happen if you stain it twice to get the proper undertones? Since stain isn’t opaque, in my mind it might work?
Given the color, and lore behind the wood itself, it’s likely Moody’s wand was ebony with dragon heartstring for the core. He was an incredibly powerful wizard and successful in combat for many years.
Supposedly the noble collections version of this wand is scaled up for display purposes, which is evident when you compare it to the size in the movies. Regardless, your work is amazing.
@@garricksapprentice I'd love if you could do another more movie accurate version, I love your videos and that one would be one to watch. Can't wait to see what you're working on next!
I would have cast the pewter directly on the wand: Turned down the to-be-wand to a near to end diameter cut the two groves for the rings, then made a fitting hole into that wood block you used for casting, drilled a fill- and an exhaust channel into it for each ring, put the one into the other and cast. Also, for the blackness, maybe char and then polish it?
Just a tip on making vinegaroon- leave the steel wool in the vinegar until it fully dissolves. It can take a week or so. Best to keep it someplace warm as the reaction goes slowly when colder. Don’t try heating it like on a stove to hurry it up as that just drives off the acetic acid. Other than that, terrific effort.
I love your videos and there's a wand that really blows my mind, this is Alecto Carrow's, she's a very minor character but she has a beautiful wand, could you make it please? I haven't found out what wood it's made of and from the color I think you could make it out of black walnut. Thank you very much.
Looked up Gleeson to check if he was alive or not and it smacked me where else I have seen him. .....well it turns out in a lot of stuff. But the one most recent I saw was Paddington. Now it finally clicks why his voice sounded so familiar in the clips shown here XD
You actually could have made theis groove at frst and fill it up with simple Solder Wire and a soldering iron. That works pretty well. Just a bit practice needed and a bigger solder iron for Roofs and thicker wire works better.
The black package probably contains spruce, the one you’re waiting for might be dogwood, and Horace Slughorn’s wand is, interestingly enough, made of cedar. (If you’re ever thinking of making Charlie Weasley’s current wand, my bet would be on chestnut.)
Excellent video love the wands the reason why your Ebonising solution didn't work is because you need to use apple cider vinegar it's a stronger acid and the wood needs to have tanning in it so you can also buy and make your own tanin solution using almond leaves or brewers tanin powder another and quicker way of Ebonising is to use Indian ink
Yeah need to experiment a bit more! All I could find online was 'white vinegar' but couldn't find any. Oak has lots of tannin in it so I've seen it turn black almost instantly..but stains are okay currently!

You have to add a tea bag to get the best results for a good wood stain
The wood reminds me of Irish Blacktorn, the end resembling a shillelagh with the nubs looking like where the thorns are cut off.
Was going to comment the same. First thought of a shillelagh when I saw it.

With that knob on the end, I'd always thought that Moody's wand was made of Blackthorn, similar to a shillelagh.
It would be befitting of his character, and Ireland has a high population of redheads too.
Wow, what a piece of engineering sir! Pewter-turning with a screwdriver had my heart in my mouth, but you made it work- superb! 😅🏆

Wands up for wood turning grandpa. Keep the artistry going, great work on this one!
another great wand❤
you say your making every wand, if so id love to see trewlawneys

Pretty shocked that you didn't make this out of blackthorn, as the handle is a pretty clear reference to a traditional Irish shillelagh.
When casting the rings .It would have been easier to use a hole saw. Drilled in the wood . Good video. Wish I had your shop!
The way the wood looks in the replica makes me think of a Shillelagh (Blackthorn cane). I would have went with Blackthorn for his wand just on the knob and the colors they went with but that is my personal opinion.

Looking forward to Slughorn's Wand. It is stated on the Wikis that his wand is made of Cedar Wood
what woods are you planning on making the twins wands out of?
Fun Fact: Its actually a reboot design of his wand. The original design looks like a blackish grey.
Just looking at the wand I'd say it was made from blackthorn. It is shaped like a shileighlie.

If you want to make ebonising fluid you need 0000 wire wool the very fine one and leave it for a couple of weeks releasing any gases as you go.
