How to make the Nimbus 2000 (DIY) / Jon's DIY

[@marianagallegos2120]

This is the best DIY on a Nimbus 2000 that I've seen so far. You have a great talent!

[@JONSDIY]

Thanks Mariana!

[@christianchilders8556]

JON'S DIY do you work with a lathe

[@JONSDIY]

No, not yet. I have been considering buying one to get proficient but they are really expensive. Someday.

[@basefishing9331]

For those curious: The Nimbus 2000 costs around $2,500 which is 340 Galleons.

[@JONSDIY]

Yes, but I will not accept Galleons! LOL!

Thanks Dodo!

[@keepingit100integrity4]

Amazing!!!! I'm not a Potter fan but my niece IS n I'm going to attempt this. Can u possibly give me the the specs on the handle like what the length is total n the length from the end to the first bend, how long the bend is, n the length on the 2nd straight piece? And how long our bristles need up being? I don't have the tools u have but I'm determined n tenacious....Lol. Got my board ready to start. Think ill go foraging for the bristles today. Thanks for showing!

[@JONSDIY]

Integrity, As you can see in the video I just space it out to what looks about right. I did not stick to any specific measurements. As in all my videos, I make it up as I go along. I no longer have that broom. I still have the secondary broom stick somewhere so I will measure it when I get home and let you know. Jon

[@JONSDIY]

3 feet 9 inches.

[@keepingit100integrity4]

JON'S DIY thank u sooooo much. This gives me a jumping off spot. I really appreciate it. U truly did an amazing job at it. Here's to me attempting it anyway....lol

[@kaydoeswhat]

Do you think it is possible to make this at home with minimum equipments? *Like if you wonder and the have the same question*

[@JONSDIY]

Yes, I made this out of my garage. At a minimum you will need a Jig Saw and a drill. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZebmYKjn6yVjdE

[@JONSDIY]

Not totally true, I posses Parselmouth. I am of the Woodian House. The wood speaks to me. :-)

[@kenmaccready7141]

Jon, what brand of metal bending tool are you using in the video? Or where did you buy it? And were you able to make the roughly 6 inch diameter of the kickstand part with this tool? The broom you made is great. I made one myself that I will have to post some pictures of when I figure out how to do that.I made my kickstand out of acetal rod which I have to heat and then form it to the shape I need. And I would like to try the aluminum rod instead. Thanks for any help you can offer.

[@williansilvaalves7051]

hi, congratulations on the magnificent work, could you tell me the measurements of this raw wood?

[@JONSDIY]

The 2x6 was 6ft long. I ended up cutting it to a little under 4 feet once I had my sketch on the board. draw out and cut the base (where the bristles are) longer. That way if you need to shorten it to get the right size you can. If you start to short, then you have no way to make it longer.

[@xiaowenyu6755]

your workshop is so neat! I admire that!

[@JONSDIY]

It always appears neat because I have to move the car out of the garage first. Nothing can be stored where the car is parked.... lol

[@JeriAnnHenson]

This was amazing! You can tell a lot of hard work went into it. You never mentioned how you put the name on the handle… Did you just use gold paint and a brush?

[@JONSDIY]

It is vinyl. shown here kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZebmYKjn6yVjdE

www.ebay.com/itm/-/292212739303

[@minzv5934]

Hey Jon! This broom is amazing but is there and easier way to make the kickstand because I don’t know how to work with metal and I really want to make it

[@JONSDIY]

Minz, I actually considered buying moldable plastic and making the kick stand. It is really easy to shape and paint. But with the weight of this broom I was unsure if it could hold the weight when dry. But there is also 2 gauge wire that you can bend by hand. That would probably do the trick as well.

[@ltnqtnez]

I really like the way it came out, good job... would you ever make another and sell ? Like Etsy?

[@JONSDIY]

Maybe after I complete the Nimbus 2001. I have to wait for the bushes to grow back :-)

[@ltnqtnez]

[@Eli-bl9rb]

Probably less than you. I can only do these types of projects on the weekends in between swim meets and soccer games. So I am impressed that I got this one complete.

Awesome broom! Now i want to have my own broom stick! But i wonder if you could fly with it :p

[@AnaCaroMusic]

ITS SO PRETTY I LOVE IT, you did it really goooood, omg i wish i had one! you should do something game of thrones themed

[@JONSDIY]

Game of Thrones... what did you have in mind?

[@crystalblondeel4383]

Sorry to bother you, I have a question. In the video you said, if we don't have any bunches to trim, you could use beer grass? It's hard to hear what you said. I thought you said beer grass, my dad thinks you said beard grass. PLEASE help us....tell us what you said that we could use, and get at a hobby store. Thanks

[@JONSDIY]

Yes, bear grass. It was in the arts and crafts store. My wife uses the dried out version to make her own wreaths. I would suggest you walk out to any neck of the woods and just cut bushes/shrubs. Its not that hard.

[@timonwibin5640]

[@JONSDIY]

Thanks CrazyDude, But there is not much wood crafting in this project. You should subscribe and check out some of my other projects.

[@alien-war-head8470]

I would be interested in buying one if u can let me know

[@Momo-qo4wm]

This is amazing, honestly! I'm not a huge Harry Potter fan either, but my brother turns eleven in January and I want to make him a "Hogwarts starter kit". Roughly how long did it take you to finish?

[@JONSDIY]

All together (including the yard work) this broom can be done in 2 days.

[@Momo-qo4wm]

Thank you :) That's much faster than I thought, the broom looks like it took ages.

[@JONSDIY]

Well I have a full time job and 3 kids that play travel soccer. So I do an hour here and hour there. But I can knock one out in a day if there is nothing on my schedule.

[@sommilonedits7060]

Hi, where did you buy the brissels from? What kind of brissels are they? Mind posting the link?

[@JONSDIY]

LOL. You clearly did not watch the video.

[@louloulou18]

At 16:10 your kickstand lays flat on the table, at 16:35 it has an arch in it. Did you make the second one different then the first or did you put a bend in it later and not show it on the video? Which version did you like better flat or with the curve backwards?

[@JONSDIY]

Linder. Yes, good catch, but it was not intentional. I was making two identical brooms and just completely forgot to place the bend in the top of one of the kickstands. I did go back and put in the bend to the other one when I noticed. If you look at the video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/oInUk2mJnMSkppI you can see that one has the bend already and one still does not. Thanks for you comment. Jon

[@louloulou18]

@@JONSDIY I made the nimbus 2000 for a friend who does circus performances and he hung it from straps and did a whole show from it during a harry potter themed circus show.
