DIY Nimbus 2000

[@JONSDIY]

Hey Patch, Great job, Love the color and grain that appeared out of that old piece of wood. Love discovering beautiful things inside the wood like you did from that old piece.

[@HeyPatch]

Thanks, yeah I’m always surprised by what one can make out of what was essentially rubbish. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. 😁👍

[@dustonmars]

This has helped me so much because I was looking for a way to make a Nimbus for my Harry Potter shrine, but yours it looks amazing!!!

[@HeyPatch]

Thanks , I’m glad my video helped. To be honest I was making it up as I went along 😅

[@gilbertslalaland4986]

Those are amazing skills 👏🏻

[@aleanadresser5116]

That’s not a diy that’s art 💖💖

[@HeyPatch]

Aww shucks, you’ll make me blush 😊

2020... i love this video ♡ From argentina

[@HeyPatch]

Thanks 👍

[@GaryTurbo]

Does it vibrate?

[@HeyPatch]

+Gary Turbo haha no but if you strap a hitachi magic wand to it and it might. 😉

[@toebeansvideos]

I love the clever way you used that reclaimed wood!

[@HeyPatch]

cheers Britt :D

[@broedermaxim9862]

Hey Patch can you make a wand

[@haoyin791]

Are you selling this Nimbus 2000? Or maybe making new ones?

[@HeyPatch]

This particular one was a commission for a friend. I also made a firebolt for my cousin but didn’t make a video of that build. If you’d like to commission your own broom feel free to send me an email to [e-mail] And Thanks for for the comment 😁👍

LOOKS VERY PRETTY THIS IS ...... I AM INDIAN

[@HeyPatch]

Thanks :)

[@VC27]

So as an Indian, your pathetic English grammar is acceptable? Seriously, what has 'I am Indian' got to do with this?

[@HeyPatch]

There is a cool feedback loop that makes the English language as popular as it is, particularly as a second language. English spoken or written with poor grammar or pronunciation is generally understood due to the high levels of exposure to incorrect English, this fact adds to it being a wise choice when choosing a second language and thus the cycle continues. Sorry for the long reply... here is a potato 🥔

[@macbeth455]

Great looking broom however you did miss the nimbus 2000 logo

[@HeyPatch]

+Leo071 yeah... ran out of time as it was a birthday gift. Would be easy enough to do with a small print brush and gold paint.

[@KpopBishForever]

Could you make the nimbus 2001. I want to make it myself but it's kind of weird shaped and the dying? Idk lol

[@maxlehner9822]

Whats the size of the broomstick/ piece of wood?

[@HeyPatch]

the piece of wood I carved into the broom handle was from an old picnic bench and was about 2"x4" by about 4 foot long. id dosent reallly matter, just pic a piece of wood that feels about the right size. you can make your brool fit you. hope that helps. patch

[@jamesfrew9520]

You forgot the nimbus 2000 writing at the end of the broom but it looks cool man x

[@HeyPatch]

Well spotted 😉 I also didn’t put on any “stirrups” this was just my take on a nimbus 2000, it was never gonna be exact. Let’s just call my one the “nimbus 1999 and 3/4”😉😁

[@jamesfrew9520]

@@HeyPatch it looks like a good broom, I'm planning on making my own personal broom next week I'm buzzing for it

[@Prince-do7ul]

[@HeyPatch]

+Jessielyn Antonio 🤧thanks & 😉

[@chriscoles940]

Can u do a firebolt

[@HeyPatch]

I actually made a firebolt for my niece. The firebolt is easier as long as you can find the appropriately sized & shaped branch as the firebolt has a rough bark texture except for on the top front of the broom where you just sand off all the bark, it also has some gold runes there that I just drew on with gold sharpie. For The brush part I just used a bunch of small twigs glued and tied on to the end of the broom, you can get copper “anti slug” tape to use around the bristles as a cosmetic detail to hide the string or zip ties used to tie down the twigs(the tape isn’t strong enough to hold the brush on by its self) someday I might get around to making a firebolt video but in the meantime I hope this helps. Thanks for watching and for the comment😊👍

[@orlaithmccullough355]

Are you taking requests?! thats so cool haha :p

[@HeyPatch]

thanks :D im not taking commissions, but ill totally take requests if you like to see me make something. thanks for watching. Patch.

[@MrMikegorey]

how much does it cost for you to make one|? :]

[@HeyPatch]

Hey +Michael Gorey this one cost me about £10 (about $13) I already had the scrap wood that I made the body of the broom out of. I had to buy a broom for the bristles and a sanding disk for the angle grinder. All in all you could easily make this for under $30 :) hope this helps & thanks for watching :D

[@vengervoldur6534]

Nah, don't clean up the loose bristles of the broom. Leave that as a chore for the new owner of that broom with a follow-up gift of the complete broom maintenance kit, like Hermione gave Harry (in book5?). That way it adds to the gift. Also, I dig the Converse. Never owned (or worn) a pair. I hear they are terribly uncomfortable, but who cares about comfort when you look dapper? The PVA glue and water solution was pretty ingenious a way to reshape the broom bristles. I never would have thought of that. Likely, I would have made a whole new broom head altogether, which would have been way harder and probably would have failed. :) Overall, excellent build; I quite like it. And yeah, those flap discs are really effectively (as you obviously discovered), even on red oak, which is a substantially denser wood than pine.

[@HeyPatch]

Oh man... I completely about forgot the complete broom maintenance kit,... oh well im sure there'll be some maintenance to be done on the broom in the future. The PVA glue idea came to me after nearly a week of trying to figure out how the hell to do the bristley bit. I almost went down the root of making it myself but figured it'd probably fall apart with the slightest knock from a bludger. haha thanks for digging the converse, they arent real converse but the look the part, and yeah converse are over priced, uncomfy and will fall apart within 2 months ..... but they do look dapper don't they ;) Flap sanding disks are my new favorite!! thanks for watching and commenting Venger, you rock. Patch.
