DIY Harry Potter Style Wand

[@occamsrayzor]

I started watching this and thought "any moment now, out will come the lathe and specialist tools", but no! Everything you used, and everything you did, is accessible to anyone, which is a solid 10/10 in my book. Excellent work.

[@BucketheadStudios]

Thank you, and yes! A few bench tools like the sander, but other than that!

[@stevelapierre4776]

Hi... I have made wands with a Dremel for years but THIS... Unreal and beautiful work, real art is what you do. Love those wood/metal wands and thank you so much for showing this... and sharing ... Again. AMAZING... and just beautiful wands... WOW!!!

[@BucketheadStudios]

Thank you for your kind words! 🙌🏻

[@TheNinjapig27]

Please do another video making one. I would love to see you go even more in depth on your process of making the wand and I would really like to see what else you come up with. This is one of the coolest wands I’ve seen

[@Buttermilk3696]

Excellent!! Beautiful, elegant and creative excellence!!

[@Zeis]

Absolutely beautiful work! I'd be ecstatic if I received a wand that looks that good.

[@stianbulandlie2711]

Wow, beautiful. you make it look easy. Might give it a go myself

[@BucketheadStudios]

Thank you 🙂 yes! They're pretty fun to do

[@gryphonprovenzano3156]

I love the first wand you showed the metal handle is amazing

[@laurenhk19]

You could perhaps make little resin pieces to use like you have for the triangles, that way you can make a nice pattern in it and it could sand easier?

[@joecarter57]

They look great wow

[@NeverStopFoodies]

You are very creative and talented. great job! thanks for sharing!

[@BucketheadStudios]

Thank you!

[@todormollov3204]

I imagine you making all the wand s they used in the movies! Great work! Keep going!

[@chevelmorgan4739]

This is so incredible! The amount of work/effort that was put into this make 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 this person must be very special and they better love it or I'll happily take it off their hands 😁.. The forethought regarding the personalised touches showed real care and attention to detail. Expert workmanship from a keen maker indeed.

[@alexhetherington8028]

I have just come across your channel and as a fellow brit it's nice to see a fellow kin making such quality props in this area of making. I love moddeling, prop making and character statue making and although I love alot of the American makers like Adam savage, it's nice to see a brit make the same level of quality stuff and be interested in this field as I dont see many brittish makers on youtube making this kind of stuff at this level. So I've subscribed,keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to seeing what you cook up in the future.

[@BucketheadStudios]

Thank you for your kind words. I watch all the US guys too. People like Adam Savage are a great inspiration, and to be included in the same bracket is amazing :D

[@jross008470]

Wow How beautiful 😍 love how it came out! Incredible mind, great work & positive way of side income! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@lady_kida]

I love how you’re open with the materials to use where as other makers won’t tell you what the materials are for the brass/ alluminum accents. They withhold that info as if it’s a “secret” lmao.

[@BucketheadStudios]

Thank you! yeah I'm always open, I love it if you guys can have a go yourself after watching the video :)

[@_Henners_]

Great video and your wand designs are really cool and interesting

[@matgrill9085]

This is like Luke's wand I love it

[@ghostshadowcollectibles2256]

This is incredible and simply amazing. Absolutely love how they turn out. You are a creative genius

[@BucketheadStudios]

Thank you ⚡⚡

[@vanderswands7979]

Very nice!

[@nathanwood5977]

That looks great. I was inspired to make some after seeing the wand display at the Harry Potter Warner Bro studio tour but lockdown was even busier for me so haven't had time.

[@Firetoad_]

This is amazing! Surprised this video isn’t more popular, it just showed up on my recommended and I assumed it was from a really big channel. Super high quality video and work on the wand as well!

[@BucketheadStudios]

Thank you!

[@VivienMoonstone]

This is such a cool channel and you have got me into wand making as well! :D You’ve got a like from me!

[@VivienMoonstone]

P.S. love the music!

[@BucketheadStudios]

Thank you! Glad you like, and awesome that your making wands too!

[@michaelshaw3911]

Where did you get the metal spacers from? I've been trying to find some for my work but besides cutting aluminium and brass tubing to size which isn't ideal.

[@bla3253]

Hello, Bucket Head Props! I think you should make a Star Wars Darth Revan costume! I think you did great on Plo Koon, so I think it would be badass if you did a Darth Revan costume!

[@corruptedaxis]

Love it!

[@chrisgrootjans1679]

Wonderful piece of work you've made there! Good craftsmanship. What is the material you use for the handle? You call it keronite if I'm not mistaken. Do you have a link for these products?

[@BucketheadStudios]

Thank you! It's spelt kirinite, and there are specialist sites you can get it from if they sell turning blanks, but I get mine easy enough on Ebay. Ususally a ton of different colour blends to choose from

[@chrisgrootjans1679]

@@BucketheadStudios Many thanks! That clarifies it. I will check ebay for it, good tip. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@lisachrisjosh]

I love the wooden box you made! Did you make it from scratch?

[@BucketheadStudios]

Thank you 🙂 I managed to find a base wooden box in a natural colour. I stained it, applied a shellac finish, polished it, lined it with gilt paper and made the velvet covered foam insert to hold the wand.

[@lisachrisjosh]

@@BucketheadStudios It looks so professional. Mind if I ask where you got the wooden box? My daughter is Harry Potter mad and trying to make her a wand with box for her birthday!

[@BucketheadStudios]

It was a local seller on Etsy where I found them - HomeDecoArtLtd

[@lisachrisjosh]

@@BucketheadStudios Thanks so much. Never thought to check Etsy!

[@Nerd543]

Cool 😄

[@jacobsteinberger4988]

ik this is an old video but which belt sander do you have?

[@venturahufflepuff5696]

So you said you had those center pieces made.... where can I get some of those made?

[@BucketheadStudios]

Hi, they were made by an Ebay member darren69darren9, business name Bushes2u. Was a custom order made to size for what I needed :)

[@garymoss8029]

Do you have instructions on how you built the box?

[@BucketheadStudios]

Not so much any detailed ones. Got a box from Etsy, stained it black, shellac varnish, polished, lined with handmade paper, covered upholstery foam in black velvet

[@TheMystiquejlc]

Could you tell us again what the material you used for the handle is called? I keep hearing "karenite". Thank you. Beautiful work!

[@BucketheadStudios]

There's a few different composites like these, all with different names, this one in particular is kirinite

[@athinaanagnosti1879]

Idea: Lightsaber styled harry otter wands.

[@pedsgreatescape1723]

If not mistaken I saw this first wand on Etsy for sale??

[@BucketheadStudios]

Yes indeed 🙂 sold the other day

[@pedsgreatescape1723]

@@BucketheadStudios AHUH...I was planning on buying it myself at the end of the month. I have your shop saved however...so will look in at time to time. Really nice work and I love the Art Deco.

[@michellecheung5946]

do you sell the wand box on etsy? i really like the box in the video

[@BucketheadStudios]

Hi, I'm afraid I no longer do, they took too much time for me to do

[@todormollov3204]

Where do you get the wood from???

[@BucketheadStudios]

Always buy from Ebay, just look for the best deals in the size I want. Usually 18-20mm width and height, and however long I need

[@seanmcphee1072]

Do u still do them I can't see them on ur page

[@BucketheadStudios]

Hi Sean, yes I do! Just sold out of stock ones at the moment, I only make them when I have time. Always open for commissions though. Best to message over on Instagram if you'd like to discuss one, also have a fair few images there of past wands - @buckethead.studios

[@danielgrannes7445]

Where can i buy the pearl looking handle?

[@BucketheadStudios]

White kirinite. Got mine on Ebay, need a 15cm/6" 'pen blank'

[@danielgrannes7445]

@@BucketheadStudios ty for answering because i really want to try make this wand, because on pottermore my wand is ebony and this looks super nice

[@dallindrysdale4805]

How do you make the boxes?

[@BucketheadStudios]

Fair bit of work: found some plain wood ones on etsy, stained black, shellac topcoat and machine polished, lined the inside with carefully cut out handmade paper, cut foam to fit the wand and covered with velvet fabric

[@dallindrysdale4805]

@@BucketheadStudios THX! luv the channel keep up the good work!

[@AfflictionMediaProductions]

im trying to find the metal bits you used for those wants but I can not find them any were . what are they called and where could I possibly find them?

[@BucketheadStudios]

Hi, they are bushings and were made by an Ebay member darren69darren9, business name Bushes2u. Was a custom order made to size for what I needed

[@AfflictionMediaProductions]

@@BucketheadStudios thank you so much also I would like to know about the handle pieces. that look kind a like drawer handles.

[@chantalccu5889]

wow

[@ToothWaist]

Ebony is hard to work with though it is incredibly hard

[@tinaharris4082]

You can just imagine asking olivander when purchasing a wand what's the wand's core and him saying " it's a special aloy called a metal rod " you'd be confused as hell or think he had to much as rosemerta's pub.

[@patriciaariley5810]

[@garybrowne8983]

Pls make more wand videos

[@BucketheadStudios]

Thank you, I have another one the channel. Need to find time to make some more!

[@gutterbones]

The best part is that JK Rowling doesn't get any money from this!

[@nathanwood5977]

Yes but have you seen the Harry Potter gift shop in London?

[@sebastiengilrobalino5362]

Your comment is such a ridiculous one

[@ephraimstolte546]

what did she do?

[@cryptic3686]

The arrows kind of ruined it for me but other than that great work.

[@InaanB]

6:14 I am not saying you're not skilled, but please use gloves. I am getting really nervous watching you, and (not saying it will,) if an accident happens, and you slip, gloves would be very nice to have. remember, I am not saying against your skill, or saying that you aren't good enough to go without them, but just giving you a friendly reminder to wear gloves.
