Beautiful Andy, such lovely grain and finish. My Grandson would love these You always give such attention to detail and it pays off How cute is Ivy! Absolutely adorable Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed your video

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Silverlady...thank you so much for your kind words...I really enjoy making these wands... I enjoy spindle work and the twists are also fun to make...Ivy is a little cutie ha ha ... I'm glad that you enjoyed the video...take care...All the best.....Andy

Looks great, Andy! Almost an exact copy. I would agree, that’s a great shine. 👍🏻 Enjoy that new puppy! Have a great weekend, Mike.

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Mike....thank you so much...I enjoyed this one...the shine ha ha ...a bit of tongue in cheek humour....Ivy is keeping us busy....I wish that I had so much energy....you have a great weekend too...All the best.....Andy

[@ThePapa1947]

The wand looks great Andy. The spiral turned out perfect. I can see how Ivy could keep you busy. Take care Gary

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Gary...thank you very much....I guess like most woodworkers when I have finished a project I can always see how I could have improved on it .... but that is how we learn....I didn't have much spare time before Ivy and now there seems to be less ...but we love her to bits and we will settle into a routine soon and I will hopefully have more workshop time .... cheers my friend....All the best.....Andy

[@ThePapa1947]

I get in Andy, we have cats and one of then follows me to the door when I go out to my shop. So there is 5 minutes petting him. We hand a Cocker Spaniel that loved to fetch a tennis ball and would find it in the deepest brush. Now that burned up hours...lol

[@lwindy]

Lovely job, I like the way you did the spiral on the handle. I will be trying that. I have been using marbles and glass beads to adorn my magic wands. Thank you for letting me into you shop. Go well Larry

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Larry... thank you very much for your kind words... marbles and beads are a great idea... I did a similar thing using offcuts from resin blanks... turning and polishing on the end of the handles... I do really enjoy making these wands ... take care...All the best.....Andy

Your channel popped up a few minutes ago and after finding the sheep I subscribed instantly. Great little projects!

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Den...thank you for your kind words...thanks for your subscription...I'm glad like my videos....cheers...All the best.....Andy

[@steveellis8746]

Nice piece, Ivy is cute.. project suggestion for the future.. a whistle, I am sure Ivy will love it :)

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi realale999...thank you very much.... I have made a whistle kit in the past , must get it out and see if she takes any more notice of me ha ha ...cheers... All the best.....Andy

[@tfturning]

Another great turning project there Andy! Love the spiral detail and also how you achieved it. That's been something I have wanted to try for a while but never known where to start. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi pog... sorry for late reply...missed this one... thank you for your kind words... I do enjoy making the wands... nice easy projects and I usually have wood that is a suitable size ...the spirals are quite easy as long as you have a few different sizes of round files... stay safe...All the best...Andy

[@tfturning]

@@AndysCornishCreations Cheers Andy, don't worry about it, take care mate.

[@DavidAdamsen]

Very well done, Andy! I love the shape and the details! Ivy is adorable too!

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi David....thank you so much....I do enjoy making these in all shapes and designs...great fun....Ivy is a bit of a handful but we do love her to bits...have a great weekend...All the best.....Andy

[@Secondlifeofwoodturning]

Andy, those are the bestest wands I have ever seen. Now You can magic what ever You want 😉 Great work my friend. Take care. Rav

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Rav....thank you very much...I wish that I could do a little magic...cheers my friend....All the best.....Andy

[@turkeylegtv2757]

Wow Andy great wand 👍👍👍✌️✌️it puts mine to shame haha

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Brandon....thank you very much and no it does not put yours to shame..cheers...All the best.....Andy

[@jacknemo8021]

nice enough, I do like the flute on the handle. As this is 2020; a bit more resolution then 480p is required for a YT video.

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Jack ...this video was filmed using mp4 1920x1080 ...I checked the video and think that there may have been some dust on the lense ... I am working on a very low budget but am always striving to improve the quality of my videos...All the best.....Andy

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Andy. I thought the wand was the showpiece of this video and then you show Ivy. Sorry mate but she stole the show. She is gorgeous. Sorry back to the wand. You did a great job on it mate. I love the spiral. As for your abrasive paste, I have to honestly say that I prefer yours to "the other one". It seems less oily and is easier to work with and the shine is, as shown in this video, fantastic. I will continue to shamelessly show your paste in my videos when I use it. I'll send you a couple of pictures of a wand I made about 18 months ago. Great work Andy. Cheers, Huw

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Huw... ha ha ..the cute puppy will always win hands down in any contest...I do enjoy making the wands and I have sold a few...I would like to see the wands that you made... I'm still having a bit of fun with the paste showcasing and I have seen your shameless marketing strategy... ha ha ... I hope that you have not been affected by the extreme weather conditions too much...the flooding must have been quite close to you....we have strong winds here this morning...3rd storm in about 3 weeks...crazy....have a good day.... cheers...All the best.....Andy

[@WoodenItBeNice]

@@AndysCornishCreations Have sent pictures via WhatsApp. The storms were really bad here. We have lived here for nearly 24 years and have never seen flooding like it. Streets not too far away nearly 5' underwater with cars floating down the street and crashing into houses. Luckily we weren't affected as we live on a hill. Huw

[@jimrobb6325]

Nice Wand Andy. Can you magic up some better weather with it please Thanks again

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Jim...thank you very much....I wish that I could...I think that we are all getting a bit fed up with the weather...we have had a lot of wind and rain down here...but I guess that you have had a fair bit of snow recently as well...take care...All the best.....Andy

[@calvinbass1839]

Making the spirals almost looked like work! Beautiful shine. What were you using? ...snicker snicker... Nice work as always. Have a blessed day.

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Calvin...thank you very much... I love making these wands.. they don't take too long, you can make them all different and they don't use much wood up ... Haha the abrasive paste... you spotted it then ... not quite subliminal was it ... you have a blessed day too ... take care...All the best.....Andy

[@charlysshed8241]

Hi there! Wow, it got really good 👍 Greetings from my Austrian channel

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Charly....thank you for your kind words....Austria is a beautiful country....thank you for subscribing....I will check out your Channel....cheers...All the best.....Andy

[@mpart_woodlathe-stuff]

So wonderful Andy🏆 I am so glad you did some of the spiral shaping under power ... I was just then thinking if Sorby had 1-1/2 TPI thread tool and how that might work 😁 And Ivy is such a cutie 💗 -Mike

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Mike....thank you very much....I have seen some spiral work done with gigs and special tools but I think that it lacks individuality...a bit like when someone makes something on a cnc machine...it does nothing for me...my efforts have flaws and I quite like that...Ivy is a bit of a handful but we love her to bits....cheers my friend....All the best.....Andy

[@mpart_woodlathe-stuff]

@@AndysCornishCreations p.s. Forgot to say The Shameless Plug was OK by me 😁 Do it again, if you've got the time 👍 -Mike

[@stevenjobbins2600]

That Looks cool Andy and the Corny paste seems to Rival another not so well known brand made in Yorkshire if my memory serves me well

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Steven....thank you...your comment made me chuckle ...ha ha ...I bet that the Yorkshire brand can only dream of having the influence and publicity on the woodturning community which my superior brand has ... ha ha ... I may just keep up the tongue in cheek advertising on my videos...cheers....All the best.....Andy

Hey Andy. 32. Gift from me. Best regards.

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Captain....thank you...All the best.....Andy

[@morningsong7885]

Alright, Andy, if I take three of these abrasive paste containers, will I get another one on top for free plus an oak wand? And does the paste also work against wrinkles and grey hair, and if you tap yourself on the head with the wand after using it, do you look 20 sandblasted years younger? On a slightly more serious note, I do wonder what such a lovely wand is used for in real life? I mean, of course, Harry Potter must have a whole collection of those in his cupboard, but for us normal grass-chewing sheep, what would such a wand come in handy for? Meditation? Folkloristic dance presentations? Drumming? Hitting your spouse over the head with it when they come home late from the pub? Sorry, silly question! Very nicely turned though, and very interesting technique used for the spiral part which worked really well! And I do like the “wavy” part a lot, again you made it look very easy, which I am sure it is NOT. Thumbs up, Andy 👍🏻 Let me know when it is on order separately 😉 Take care, so long 👋🏻 Jude P.S. Ivy is a funny little dog! These cute little Schnauzer are good family dogs, intelligent, loyal and playful, and they live longer than the big ones (and as my father used to say, they do not eat half a calf per day...). I am sure she is keeping you all rather busy! 😊

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Jude... with regards to the paste and the wand... I'm afraid if they were as magical as you described then you would be watching a 20 year old Brad pit look alike on the video instead of a slightly worse for wear 58 year old ... Haha... As for the wands real use... kids do seem to like them and I have sold a few... and yes.. Harry Potter does help... I enjoy making the twist because it has to be done by hand... Ivy is about 18 months old now and is a great little girl...and she eats very little but given the chance she would devour anything... I'm glad that you enjoyed this one and thanks for the thumbs up...take care...All the best.....Andy

[@morningsong7885]

@@AndysCornishCreations 😂😂😂 If you had said that you were a 85 year old who looks like a 58 year old Robert de Niro look alike, I would have taken the risk…
