DIY Nimbus 2001 (DIY)

[@VC27]

Stupendous attention to detail! I have been a scale modeller for over 30 years and I can recognise genius when I see it.

[@JONSDIY]

Veecee, Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate the compliment. Jon

[@millenniumf1138]

I just got commissioned to build a Nimbus 2001 for a client, and this video is really going to be an asset! Thanks so much for clearly showing each step, and most importantly, I appreciate that you included mistakes. Failure is the best teacher! The finished article is beautiful, too!

[@JONSDIY]

millennium. Thanks for the compliment. The one thing the fans said I missed during the making of this broom was that the bristles are black to dark green. It would be the only thing I would change if I remade it. Thanks again. Jon. (hit that subscribe button :-)

[@UvLch12]

You are killing it man! I'm almost done with the nimbus 2000 which will double up as my mother's Christmas gift. I would like to thank you for taking your time out for the original 2000 video.

[@JONSDIY]

Joe, I would love to see a pic of your final product. If you have time could you shoot me a few to [e-mail] Thanks Jon (don't forget, you could win the 2001 and give that one to your mom as well)

[@jonatan6511]

Dude, you’re a wiz at making props, it’s like magic

[@kylemcclellan9686]

Fantastic job on the build! Just a minor nitpick: Just because Slytherin is the only house referenced to use this broom, doesn't necessarily make it "Slytherin's broom" any witch or wizard is allowed to own any broom they can afford.

This is so cool! I'm sad I'm late to the party

[@MasonSheffield]

Great job!

[@Pato-rw7qm]

Hey Jon. You just made a really nice work. In the movie, the tail starts being black, and then turns green-brown at the end, but it is good. I love what you did and I want it. Thanks for all.

[@JONSDIY]

I will talk to my bushes about growing black and green next time. Thanks for the feedback.

[@JONSDIY]

Pato, if you can find me a really good picture of the tail of this broom, I will paint it accordingly. Send it to [e-mail] Thanks Jon

[@danylosfleite]

Really amazing. I would like a one.

[@crystalblondeel4383]

Amazing work as ALWAYS! I would love to win this broom.....I love your work, you out did yourself on this broom! Love it. I will spread the word.

[@leventeszucs5048]

This is amazeing! I would love to see how you bring into life my own designed broom. :o

[@amadabla5082]

Amazing I wish I can do it myself 😍

[@monicawestfall7150]

I find it quite interesting that you are able to see the way the designers made the broom mimic the the house that uses this broom (slytherin) and the snake-like person who bought them (lucius). To be very honest as a die hard potter fan I don't think I ever truly noticed it until you pointed it out, when I was younger the only thing that really stood out to me was the fact it was a shiny black which just made me think of death eaters, I learn something new every day! The broom looks lovely and shows how much work went into it!

[@JONSDIY]

Wow, Thanks for that compliment Monica and thanks for watching the video. Jon

[@mylalao6679]

I'm the daughter of the acvount Im using and I watched alm9st all of your videos and I'm a die hard Potterhead so bring it on and save it

[@JONSDIY]

Then this will actually be pretty easy for you. Trust me, if you have really seen all my videos then the questions will be easy.

[@nicoleswanburg3895]

This is absolutely stunning and I LOVE it! I wish I had been watching KZbin tutorials years ago... I am a mom of 6 and my kids are sincere fans of all things Harry Potter! I know that they would love a replica like this. I, however, know that I don't have any of the skills you possess in order to make them. I do wish you sold them, but I understand that they might not make the necessary money for all the work/effort you put into them. They are truly fantastic though and I loved watching your tutorial. Thank you for sharing your talents and ideas with us. Take care and stay safe!

[@JONSDIY]

Wow Nicole thank you for that fantastic comment I’m glad that you like my videos don’t forget to subscribe. 👍

[@JONSDIY]

Thanks Scott

[@burchi1003]

I really want to win this broom because I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter but I don't have enough money for buying the original one and my parents don't think it's worth it so they don't buy it for me. I love your videos especially the ones that are about Harry Potter. Your diys are very interesting and nice. Your my favorite yter!😍🔝 (sorry if there are any errors, I'm not english)

[@matthewroycroft8080]

Legend I’ve always wanted a broom but I don’t have much money

[@BREAKINGTHEBOW]

I just received my broom today and was seeing how to hang it--no instructions. Your broom looks so much better.

[@JONSDIY]

Are you saying you bought a Noble copy? Fishing string might work. Kind of plastic feeling right? You should ask Wyatt The Griffindor how he likes his. He just won the one you watched in this video. Thanks for you comment. Jon

[@BREAKINGTHEBOW]

Yes I bought a Noble. I figured out all the screws etc. I’m sure anyone would love yours. Look forward to seeing more of your work!

[@Hybrid_Dan]

@JON'S DIY I didnt hear any questions so I'm just gonna say that I'd love to have that broom!!

[@JONSDIY]

they are not spoken but posted in this video. (not the questions but when the questions will be posted)

[@saulgoodman4451]

JON'S DIY do you verbally say it or is it hidden in the background or something?

[@JONSDIY]

Not said, check the upper left corner around the 24 min mark.

[@JONSDIY]

And not hidden. In a big yellow banner.

[@saulgoodman4451]

JON'S DIY oh wow I completely missed that thanks!

[@jennym.7353]

I really loved how this came out! What diameters on the rods for the kickstand did you use? Thank you so much for an answer!

[@JONSDIY]

Jenny, the hollow aluminum rod diameter is exactly a half inch. the solid aluminum rod is 3/8 of an inch diameter. Bought at Home depot. Thanks for you comment. Jon

[@squirrely1345]

😳❤️❤️❤️wish I could make this!

[@javascripttutorials1221]

YAY! I suggested this one!!!

[@kingdravencrow6906]

Would you take commissions on this? To make more ? Thanks for the info!! Great work!

[@JONSDIY]

Draven, When I make extras I just sell them on Ebay. They fetch a pretty penny (more than anyone offers for a commission)

[@heathermaccready3475]

love this video,great job

[@saulgoodman4451]

I think the real one is more black in the bristles and shaft but other than that it looks great!

[@JONSDIY]

I work with what I have. Thanks

[@aaronjones3514]

You have a link to the images you used to shape the head? I cantfind any good ones and I'm trying to make my own broom

[@ducks9190]

Do you make these for sale? I'd love one

[@JONSDIY]

Sorry no. I make them to show you how you can DIY.

[@saulgoodman4451]

Great video! I would never have enough motivation to complete something like that! And just to be clear you will be posting a second video for the giveaway?

[@JONSDIY]

Wyatt, I do and hour here an hour there. Notice all the changes in my clothing. this was not a over night job. I just don't have the time to do all the stuff I want to do in a single day. Yes in this video is the time and date for the giveaway of this broom.

[@tinaharris4082]

The bristles of the broom are like ebony black but fade into slytherin green in the movie but overall good job.

[@saulgoodman4451]

And I’m not trying to be smart with you but just to freshen up your HP knowledge the Nibus 2001 was designed black and dark just to make Malfoy seem more evil but there is actually nothing evil about the broom itself and is not related to Slytherin

[@JONSDIY]

Gotcha, thanks I did not know that. I will change the title.

Why dosent this guy have more subs ⁉

share my video and hopefully I will get a few more. Thanks for watching. Jon

[@andrewwolter4455]

Great replica the only thing I would say is that the bristles cannot be Brown there'd need to be black

[@JONSDIY]

Andrew, agree I also looked at putting a hint of lime green in them with the very end showing a little white. But call me lazy.

[@___phelipo]

The nimbus 2001 actually has a black green colour

[@JONSDIY]

That depends who you buy it from.

[@JONSDIY]

So the individual that won this broom just sent me a pic. He painted the tail black to green. guess if you had won you would be sending me a pic instead of him. :-)

[@___phelipo]

JON'S DIY lol I wasn’t complaining, I just talked about the color of the broomstick because you asked for suggestions. Then if you understand suggestion as bad critical or complaint then you should stop asking for it! Peace!

[@JONSDIY]

Felipe, I did ask for suggestions, I stand corrected and apologize. Jon
