Nah, 24 minutes is perfect for me, I enjoy this longer format, great background when washing dishes and doing the occasional housework (when absolutely necessary). The video format is entirely up to you, obviously, but I'd vote to keep these videos around this length. And also, magnificent work, love this wand and can't wait for more!

[@bencamp6525]

I completely agree!

[@NoIax]

For what its worth, I agree too, I've already watched this twice today

[@HereticalKitsune]

Full agreement!

[@lynnthomas8457]

Regarding the very obviously not missing finger, I fell for it, even though I saw the whole finger. My way too trusting self just assumed you started the project before you lost your finger, and had to take a break to heal. Last time I trust you, sir!

[@garricksapprentice]

😚

[@UniverseCity17]

I just wanna say thank you for doing this. The wands are one of the less-noticed parts of the films, and you’re showing them the appreciation they deserve despite the time and expense it takes.

[@lyndsaycoomber6029]

I am not a woodworker. I assume the algorithm decided I might enjoy this because of the Harry Potter connection. The 24 minutes I have just spent watching this make me wish I had such skills! Tonks' wand is my favourite, the first Noble collection wand I got, because when I held it, the shape of the petals fit so neatly around my little finger. I can imagine that the real wood feels so much more substantial. I am fully in awe❤

[@bombasticsideye-]

Wow never knew that Tonks had a wand design. It's also one of the prettiest in my opinion. Very well done :)

[@ArchieLupton]

bro these wands are so good

[@acoop7959]

This one is mind blowing!!! I actually GASPED at 22:13 Beautiful carving on display and excellent choice of wood. Incredible work.

[@noelcrenshaw7969]

That came out insanely good. I've never actually gotten a good look at a lot of the wands so this has been fun

[@chechonatv5051]

One of my favorite wands in the shape of a carnivorous plant Sarracenia, very good job👍

Your craftsmanship and video editing skills are top-notch, and your sense of humor is just right. You’re the coolest Ollivander of our time!

[@niccibaceda8425]

ugh idk why but I love these vids. they heal my inner child that almost cut off a finger trying to widdle a wand from a tree branch.

[@Jamarkis52]

Aye man, I really love your video style and really love the new additions to your shop. I’ve been watching your videos for a bit and it’s cool to see what different disciplines you utilize and how you dedicate space to them. Keep up the great work.🤙🏾

[@garricksapprentice]

Can't wait to have a bigger workshop so I can fit in more wonderful Wadkins!

[@Jamarkis52]

@@garricksapprentice Well, I just looked up the price of a Wadkin lathe and my blood pressure went up so that’s fun. I just moved into my new shop with 3x what is in before and hope to show that off soon. I look forward to what’s next for you man.

[@97wolffang]

Making these wands looks incredibly difficult, and I'm always amazed by the end results. :)

[@jasonbelanger7525]

Planing a message off a bit of wood was a nice trick, I've not seen that before. Beautiful work, as always.

[@Sobsilus]

Wow, really great craftsmanship and a good eye for detail. Amazing work. It's so relaxing to watch you working. That's how it should be done instead of just walzing into Wizard Walmart and buy one for the price of less than a school book.

I'm not even particularly fond of Harry Potter, but man your skills both in woodworking and in editing are fun to watch. I think this is the only one that I felt anxious about the entire time though lol, I definitely would have broken that a thousand times just setting it up in vices...

[@The_Early_Gamer]

I'm so happy I stumbled upon this video and then all your other ones. It had never dawned on me that you could just make your own wand, it seems so obvious now. And I'm happy to report I've made 5 wands for myself, not replicas but original ones with personal cores made from fur from my pets. I had to make do with just a wood carving knife and files/sandpaper but they turned out wonderful :)

[@KatakuriUchiha22]

[@archangel-1776]

As always, wonderful and amazing craftsmanship. ❤

[@notadaytrader]

Another awesome video brother. 🙌 Still waiting on that Voldemort wand made from Yew. Don’t forget the respirator, proper ventilation, and gloves! Yew wood can be fatal even in small amounts, so this task should be done with the utmost care.

FINALLY! Frickin fantastic job my man! Really really appreciate your work! Your third hand did a good job filming btw! Thank you Mr Garrick ❤

[@DJ_Mystic]

11:30 Fun Fact: The last person to use Salazar Slytherin's snakewood wand was Isolt Sayre, the founder of the American wizard school, Ilvermorny. It ended up going dormant and was buried. Afterwards, an indestructible Snakewood tree grew in that spot.

[@cardenw]

This turned out so well, the natural wood grain is beautiful :) Jim Barr made some really unique handles when designing wands for the series and this is a great example of that. He also made Voldemort and Viktor Krum's wands. All 3 wands lead to their respective actors developing unique grips on their wand, Viktor holds his like a pistol, Tonks said that she didn't really find a suitable grip until Bill and Fleur's wedding scene and Voldemort has his iconic open hand grip (although they had to use fishing wire to secure it to his hand as he dropped it frequently when filming). Even Peter Pettigrew briefly got to use Voldemort's wand during the leadup to Voldemort's revival in Goblet of Fire and he also developed a unique grip with it.

[@soweli_Lukonsi]

Man, I love Krum's wand. It's arguably one of my favorites. It's very much up there with Nicholas Flamel's for being simply unnecessarily gorgeous.

[@VanBourner]

Tonks was always my favourite character outside the golden trio and I still remember how her fate made me saddest, more than one of the Weasley twins.

[@malikmansaray1233]

so cool! i love harry potter and seeing the process of these wands actually being made with the real woods is so interesting, i love your style of videos too, they are so funny and engaging and really keep me watching and wanting to see more!

[@spewbob598]

always a good day to see a new wand making video from you

[@Respect707xx]

I'm really happy I found this channel keep up the good work

[@pedropaixao2323]

Awesome work! Your videos always get me thinking about how the production designers made the wands in the first place (I read they first designed in wood to then make plastic replicas for the film). I have the Japanese version of the wand, and it's a bit different from the Noble Collection version sold elsewhere, albeit more accurate to the movie version (you can see the differences in the promo images of Tonks - the movie version does not have the woodgrain marks around the wand, the shaft isn't bent and its shape is more of a diamond rather than a triangle). I wonder why did they decide to sell a version that differs from the movie.

[@kalani-s.artstudio2964]

[@MichaelIrons-d5v]

a fanastic job sir well done, loved the vid.

[@MichaelIrons-d5v]

thank you sir.

[@jonathangauthier3549]

Absolutely gorgeous work as always. I'd like to see the House mascot and horcrux wands being made at some point too, if that's at all possible. Another suggestion is to try making house hybrids. I'm a 50/50 ravenclaw & gryffìndor hat-stall (basically like Hermione), so maybe that could inspire future episodes once you've you've run the gambit of character wands? With each pairing giving you at least 16 variations, it could make for a fun challenge in future

[@Gersheyz]

The gluing section from that last video is what tipped me off that the missing finger was a joke. I was so confused for a bit

[@jaziona]

Oh my Merlin I LOVE IT!! Part if me wants one but the other part if me is too skint to pay you 😅😭 as a Hufflepuff I fully approve of this video being one my top 3 (along with the Weasley twins and Sirius) keep up the amazing work, I'm here for all your videos

You could also hold the space between the petal and shaft between your fingers! It's quite a beautiful wand

[@therainbowpoopp]

I love the lines on the petal! Looks better than the original.

[@pypotter6868]

Best wand maker I've ever seen

[@TalRohan]

I think if it had been almost any other wood I would have tried turning the shaft on three centres then sanding the transitions ...nothing wrong with a bit of dodgy bandsawing...it makes life interesting and keeps you on your toes...or should that be keeps your fingers on. ..hmm there is a very cobra like appearance to that flower hood beautiful wand and a great way to thank patreons ...completely original as far as I am aware thanks for sharing

[@bootes899]

Very nice video! Big talent keep going😊

[@dantelucef]

Loving this series!

[@felixb381]

i believed it so easily, glad you still got all your fingers

[@nielsribberink]

The end of the wand looks like a cobra head😄

[@j9096-g8k]

What I would love is when get around around to Harry’s wand, is have the appearance the same in colour to the product photos rather than the prop itself, the photos of Harry’s wand in Ollivander box show it as a more grainy, slightly red/brown wood with quite a light coloured back handle. Noble collection used to put effort into the wands but the current Harry wands sold look awful so I’d recommend not going off them.

[@HisagiShuhei-ek2gp]

He's back Garrick's Apprentice is back

[@SOSRick]

Oh and by the way, if you will actually manage to get in touch with the people at HBO or the wizarding world to team up with them in any kind of way, that would be absolutely deserved. You show love for the franchise in a way noone else does. I hope you got a fan that works there watching your videos.

It makes sense that it would be snake wood for Tonks, she changes just like a snake shed skin just like her skin changes.

[@jakevisconti1765]

I've watched so many of your videos because I've always wanted to make all the wands for display but watching you make them is so daunting, I'm no wood working master and I don't have machinery, I have made myself an elder wand by hand by whittling it out of a dowel of pine then stained it to the colour, it's size accurate and looks pretty good, would you be interested in doing commition work to make each wand in pine to keep costs down, unstained if not then what is the smallest lathe machine I can buy to make them myself and a list of tools that are essential P.S. love what you do, I've become a huge fan of your work and attention to detail.

[@bobbressi5414]

I have a really long one of these. Mine has an ancient name...."Bamboo back scratcher." I think it might be from the time of the great convergence......either that or I got it on Amazon. My memory is fuzzy
