Please like/comment/subscribe to my channel, it will really help me grow and be able to produce these videos more frequently! Your kind comments are inspiring and it's nice to hear so many of you enjoy my work - makes it all worthwhile. I'm planning to make Luna's wand next (got some ideas already planned...). Who's wand would you like to see recreated?

[@GandaMelgao]

I would like to see Sirius Black Wand :)

[@Georgiana216]

Newt Scamander for sure!

[@raptor___]

Voldemort

[@jamieenver]

Please make Sirius black's

This content is great, I have a challenge slughorns wand

[@xsamura5121]

I challenge you to make all harry potter wands including the once from fantastic beast.

[@Kolious_Thrace]

That was a lot of bad luck for one wand! And it’s was Ginny’s wand Imagine what will happen with Voldemort’s or Bellatrix’s wand…😰😂 Nice work👏🏻

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

Bellatrix wand would give so mich trouble

[@kvsyaoran727]

Or Slughorn’s wand lol or Grindelwald’s original wand!

[@Sunday-Scara]

The wands "We're identical!" Fred And George "Hey! that's our line!"

[@wavy3710]

Makes me want to start learning woodwork, but for now I'll satisfy myself simply watching your videos haha. Amazing work!

[@_art_and_miniatures_]

I would've been so done when it broke at the beginning. But when it broke at the end I would've cried. It turned out so good. Love your videos!

[@garricksapprentice]

My fault really for not cutting up some better timber, thought people might like it though so left it in!

[@VulkanBladeborn]

​@@garricksapprentice its a weasley wand so the wood needs to be cheap!

[@_art_and_miniatures_]

@@garricksapprentice I appreciate it. I made a replica of the elder wand. I used an x-acto knife and my brothers old dremel. Surprisingly it turned out decent. But there’s one part that is slightly crooked. All that to say I just like to see that I’m not the only one who struggles. You could have just edited out it breaking but you didn’t and you found a way to add humor to an otherwise frustrating situation. I respect that a lot.

[@Am3lia77]

@@VulkanBladeborn 😂😂 yeah but all the wands are made by Olivander and I don’t think he’d use nothing but quality materials 👌🏻

[@UPTAUT]

Ginnys wand has to be my favourite design. Simple and elegant. I would very much hope that this wand chooses me when i went to Olivanders.

[@slumpywumpy4166]

I never knew Ginny had such an intricate wand. I think I’m used to seeing the Golden Trio wands from the first films where they were literally just different coloured sticks, n then they upped their game with Voldy Baldy’s wand, and bam now we have this sexy black wand (no pun intended) for everyone’s favourite HP Redhead

[@garricksapprentice]

One of my favourites for sure

[@Anonymous-gf5gl]

Ginny's wand is also a special wand because it connects her to both harry and Voldemort. So voldemort's wand is yew wood and Phoenix feather and Harry shares the core of Phoenix feather while Ginny's wand is made up of yew wood

[@caketaro]

Very nice, must take a lot of time and patience to get it just right. You really are talented and get even details down like with then shaft of the elder wand having bits that look like they were carved instead of turned. Makes me want to tackle my own wand (from "Pottermore") someday, when I have the right tools, wood, and experience. For now these videos and the one I hastily made from a tree branch are satisfactory.

[@11BRelo]

Binge watching all your videos and that’s why these comments are coming now after a couple years but I do say I love that you put in certain clips from the movies which absolutely fit perfectly what is going on in your workshop you are a true apprentice of Garrick Olivander! Hopefully one day soon I could have one of your Wands

[@SmoothC92]

This video gave me anxiety with the number of setbacks there were. I bet you were beyond relieved to finally finish it. I love how with Ginny's, Bella's, and Arthur's, you knew how to remedy some undesired occurrences in various ways. Yet another testament to your talent with this craft.

[@wickpagano4417]

Just now finding your channel and I have to say your work is wonderful. Had one of my wands broken after so much work I would have cried. And I have. Well done!

[@garricksapprentice]

Yeah my fault here for being lazy and not cutting up better yew aha

You're so talented i made a wand's last year because i was bored of quarantine. I made like 7 wands but my favorites were the first one i made, my personal wand, and the elder wand.

[@GeorgiKirilov7]

Before 2 days watched that with the Elder wand, and soo many other youtubers trying to make it too, but no one made it perfect like you!

[@DaniGamerWarrior]

This is my favorite wand, I love watching these.

[@doggoi]

Alright this is the best! You should make a series of making wands. Can you do Voldemort’s wand next? Pls! Can I also have shoutout. Keep up the good work.

[@Furiora]

those first two breaks, ouch. Looks like a micro-crack you didn't see considering the inside looks like it was exposed to the elements. Could be talking out my bum though XD Honestly my fav of the canon wand designs, I just adore that fluted handle. Ouch, ouch, ouch! after all that work! Insanis Glutin Repario! Beautiful end result, worth it!

[@garricksapprentice]

Yeah I was pushing my luck and being lazy not cutting up a new big log!

[@ernestoromero3816]

Are you selling these wand replicas you create? PS: they look amazing 🤩 better than the actual Noble collection ones, keep making more videos of more wand replicas, they are satisfying just by watching you make them and bring actual wood alive into a wand replica 😄

[@mariusmikaelson3940]

I joining to the question. If you make highly detaled so no one see the diffrance betwean your one and one from the nobble collection. I will do not be regreting a money for so such beauty.

[@valeriecarpentier6384]

so brittle yet so powerful

[@whovianhistorybuff]

According to J.K Rowling Ginny's wand is made of yew wood, making it an interesting coincidence that both Harry's mortal enemy and his true love have the same wand wood.

[@guyloren]

Argh,I nearly cried for you when the third break happened near the end!😖 Wonderful work,rescued successfully & looked far superior to the original replica... Mischief managed!😅🏆

[@SKWERRILEY97]

This is how ollivander makes his wands XD

[@TheLandofpain]

Just found your channel tonight. How it has never popped up before with all the Harry Potter stuff I’ve looked up over the years boggles the mind! Before this one I’ve watched Elder, Neville, Draco, Cedric and my favorite so far Bellatrix! While watching this one I said to myself “I wonder if he’s ever broke one on the lathe?” Well, I got my answer literally seconds later! And let me tell ya, the Weasley’s (not known for having money), Mr. Weasley would’ve done the same thing! Kudos…. Lol, Mr. Weasley! 😉 Seriously… your channel makes me so jealous. Excellent work, keep them coming…. PLEASE!

[@garricksapprentice]

[@wlfecipse5751]

Lovely how you make the wands better than Warner bros

😨😠 I love yew wood but it can be unpredictable, I was carving an owl inside a tree branch but I had to start again because it had some rot inside 😕. I also started to turn a goblet but couldn't cope with the splits 😣 it ended up as a spinning top 😂 your videos are great. Thankyou for sharing 😊

[@raderadumilo7899]

Why not put couple of vertical metal rods, spread across the length, on the side opposite the cutting tool, pressed against the wood, so that the vibrations are reduced and you don't have to hold it?

[@garricksapprentice]

@@raderadumilo7899 similar methods are okay for bigger stuff, but not this thin. It’s vibration more than deflection and quite common to handsteady

After those two chunks came off I'm surprised you were brave enough to do all those details before you turned the final diameter.

[@garricksapprentice]

Yeah I was being lazy/pushing my luck as that piece of yew was a bit too cracked - and turning the final diameters isn't difficult so allows a bit more strength for the carving

My head canon is that Ollivander is only as successful as he is because he owns and uses a modern muggle lathe and table saw.
