Making Ginny's Wand - from real Yew Wood!

[@garricksapprentice]

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

[@MRTree-zz3wf]

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.

[@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 👌🏻

[@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!

[@adorp]

Ron's would be easy because it is supposed to be broken. 😂

[@Sunday-Scara]

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

[@TalRohan]

Watching your videos is rekindling my love of woodturning....I remember the perils of turning Yew...it checks like crazy ..it also often explodes when used for firewood.

[@LinaJermanon]

that is easily more beautiful than the one you modeled it after. you truly do amazing work with wood

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@BigBenEtLumiere]

IT 'S JUST INCREDIBLE!!!!!!! You are very gifted!!!!

[@toasty_noodles]

If only the ones in the boxes were made with this much craftsmanship and care and attention to detail keep up the good work

[@douglewis5701]

ik, the ones that noble collection sells are made from a mold, made of high quality resin with a metal rod up through the middle for the core for durability and weight. don't get me wrong, they're very nice, but I don't think much effort goes into making them from molds, making them out of wood is much more tedious

[@wayverleesoulsong]

I do love how you added in the failed wand, if first you don’t succeed, you keep trying! Amazing final product!

[@juanbluestack2138]

You're one of the best wand woodturning channel on KZbin, excited to see which wand you have in store next!

[@garricksapprentice]

Only one of the best? I better get to work

[@Zaigham2010]

Dak bisa bahasa Inggris 🤣🤣

[@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.

[@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

[@wickpagano4417]

@@garricksapprentice I've never tried Yew so I can't speak for it but I've had issues with maple and oak a few times.

[@VikramBurgupalli]

Its crazy how the wand you hand crafted with accurate materials looks way better. Nice work!

[@darthwildo6437]

I Love these wand videos! Very Accurate to the Official Replica you got. Feel like they did poor Ginny wrong by having an all black wand. Natural Yew is pretty by itself. Thought you were gonna do something fancy with that cross-hatch above the spiral (all the yellow ang gold). Enjoyed it all the same, learned a lot. Can't wait to see more! TY

[@Juicyprop]

This is the best one yet FOR SURE

[@Trindal]

I kinda wish they did a movie of there time after everything and maybe before kids. Something to show a happier time for everyone and the relationships of Ginny, Harry, and the lot. Harry learning about all the cool practical magic from Genny. Like how he was blown away at the Weasley’s and how they lived so seamlessly with magic. Maybe even as a tv series…. Ginny could almost be the lead in her own movie from her perspective throughout the movies.

[@Am3lia77]

I just discovered this channel and I’m binge watching all of your videos! ❤

[@Wi-Fi-El]

From one wandmaker to another, this is excellent work!

[@gianmarcob.5845]

Your hands are the real magic dude!

[@nathanielmarkpansoy622]

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.

[@lukasparo194]

So few wand makers out there. I'd like to say Thank you for all your hard work I myself enjoy turning a few every year, Maybe one day ill share on here. Like this comment for algorithmic success for this creator and channel.

[@alicenham]

That looks incredible!!! This was so interesting, informative and impressive, and the editing was great too :)

[@BrianMills-uf2nn]

nice recovery, looks better with the second one anyway, keep up the good work. Just found your channel, love it!!!!

[@murrayelliot]

Excellent work, you have a craftsman's touch and the patience of a saint 🙂

[@fahrstraenkopfvor23jahren47]

[@felipegbermeo]

Excellent work! Mesmerizing! Ginny is my daughter's favorite character and she is amazed as I am. Greetings from Quito, Ecuador

[@scheuban]

This was the best one so far! Great work! I love watching your videos!

[@MGJ182]

Cannot wait until you make Snape's! Although his specs aren't clear, it's still a very beautiful wand, with slight similarities to Ginny's. I'd also think it'd be Yew- or Blackthorn-appropriate, since our dear martyr always had a proclivity for dark magic and spell development. Awesome and beautiful job!

[@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!

[@seanhiewkeys]

the little clips of Ginny in between makes the video really funny. Great video and great wand!! Keep it up

[@clovettajackson4654]

You do wonderful work! All the best from Missouri.

[@robertr4193]

Pretty nice work. Well done.

[@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.

[@DaniGamerWarrior]

This is my favorite wand, I love watching these.

[@GandaMelgao]

Even the basic wands on your website are amazing. And the price is quite appealing. I wonder if you can send a couple of these wands to Portugal...

[@garricksapprentice]

I send all over the world!

[@GandaMelgao]

@@garricksapprentice really? I have to e-mail you then. Need two wands for myself and one wand for an advanced student of mine. Not the best time of year to buy a new wand, or should I say not the best time of the year to turn a wooden wand into a magical wand. But I will contact you 🙂

[@GandaMelgao]

@@garricksapprentice Thank you so much for your reply 🙂

[@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]

Thankyou! My tiktok has recently reached 115k so hopefully going to migrate a few over in the coming months!

[@brittr]

Would love to see a pair of Weasley twin wands made!

[@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!😅🏆

[@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!

I like how you snuck in “subscribe” on your micrometer. I won’t give away the time stamp where it happens (people will just have to watch) but very clever. Ps - I subscribed. But I turn as well and enjoy watching your videos.

[@garricksapprentice]

Try and find them in each video! The elder wand has a few easter eggs undiscovered

[@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

[@raderadumilo7899]

[@dwilliams321]

What are your thoughts on stabilizing wood with cactus juice before turning it?

[@garricksapprentice]

Don't know much about it but it's only needed for spalted (rotten/soft) woods - this yew wouldn't have absorbed much or any and the cracks would have still split
