Making Molly's Wand - From Real Oak!

[@freemansteinslab]

Bloody hell...why is a video about turning a wand making me cry!? 🥺 Molly is seriously the best character...she is just so full of love...and so ready to step in as a much needed "mum" to Harry...despite already having many children of her own, she was willing to take Harry in as one of her own.

[@11BRelo]

I actually did too during the cut scene showing Molly dueling Bellitrax and thought of all She lost to Voldemorts Death Eaters and Voldemort Himself. Her Brother, Nearly her Husband, Her Son, Nearly Harry(A son to her), Nearly Her Daughter. She Lost a lot and the almost losing more that was the perfect scene. All the pent up energy and worry(remember her boggart at grimaulad place?) you see her relief when she ended bellitrax

[@caseyjones5145]

My mom was terrible to me, so I "collect" role models & Molly's character was a mother figure I "collected" as soon as I read about her. Truly amazing

[@wayverleesoulsong]

@@caseyjones5145I feel this on such a deep level😭

[@Deadbeatdebonair]

I am so pumped to see you have a go at making Fleur Delacour’s wand 😍

[@robertcurley8406]

Fun Fact: Lucius Malfoy’s 2nd wand that he got after Voldemort used his original has the exact same mould as Molly’s wand, it’s just a different colour

[@ElainaSherbet]

Thanks for the fact!!

[@wayverleesoulsong]

That is quite the fun fact indeed!

[@garricksapprentice]

Let me know your thoughts! I think I might start narrating my videos in future....

[@ooggyboogy3988]

Please do

[@Whitedeerwands]

Yes !

[@Nutterlie]

I love the videos of you in the future when you’re giving so much information and insights about woodworking and the potter stories as well. You have a lovely voice as well as heaps of talent. ❤

[@JustTony72]

I just realised. You took the time to make sure wood chips also flew in front of the inlaid video. Nice attention to detail. Well played.

[@garricksapprentice]

Still needs improving

[@murphchris5670]

​@@garricksapprenticeI love your work. I was wondering how did you finish the wand with wax without the stain coming off? I have made a wand and the stain has been removed 😭

[@garricksapprentice]

@@murphchris5670 I generally use stain, then sanding sealer then wax but a bit might still come off

[@murphchris5670]

@@garricksapprentice Thank you. Is there a way to stop the stain from coming off?

[@guyloren]

Wonderful job Matt,oak does indeed look the perfect choice!The display is coming along nicely...🏆

[@mastersadvocate]

I enjoyed watching you work on making Molly Weasley's wand! There is something mesmerizing about watching the wood turning in that machine! Thanks for sharing this! ~Janet in Canada

[@Theblackbird363]

The fact her wand looks like old knitting needle! A great mom.. a great witch!

[@br-ken_rec-rd]

Have you ever considered using a sponge to apply the woodstain rather than a brush? I don’t have a lot of knowledge in woodworking but I do have knowledge in makeup! It just seems that the brush bristles bend away from the wand you know? I just think a sponge would solve that since I experience a similar issue in makeup.

[@moose7891]

I like when you narrate the videos.

[@Jesus-gm7fh]

I love what you do. simply art, blessings

[@padensmithson]

I love your work

[@pissidaifuku2596]

Dang, Mollycore goes hard! Love your stuff

[@SmoothC92]

The song starting at 6:19 sounds so powerful yet comforting. I played that part back four times.

[@BriansReadingHovel]

You'll basically need to make this wand one more time for Lucius Malfoy's 2nd wand lol. It's identical in every way except it's a much lighter color Bellatrix's 2nd wand is also similar but has a very slightly different design, as is Porpentina Goldstein's.

[@MasterOfTheElements]

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? Geez mom, I was in the backyard making your wand.

[@laevateintechnology5634]

Awesome job keep up the great work 👍

[@zaijiannagaebhashim876]

Fun Fact: That is the original wand design of Harry Potter's wand from the first 2 movies. And after that, the designs of the wands changed at the start of the Prisoner of Azkaban because of the changing of directors. 😊

[@garricksapprentice]

Oh I did not know he shared this design, I know it's very similar but is it the exact same as Molly's?

[@zaijiannagaebhashim876]

Yes. If I can only send the picture

[@jasonbelanger7525]

Really nice grain on this one too

[@8tenthsup]

Awesome. As ever.

[@productdesignermaker]

Awesome!!

[@duckysnest610]

Very nice!! More please

[@adonut81]

I don't want to pressure you into anything, but I would love to see you carve Newt Scamander's wand

[@garricksapprentice]

One day... One day

[@robertcurley8406]

Well that’s the female side of the Weasley family complete, now comes the male side In alphabetical order we’ve got… Arthur Bill Charlie (unless of course his noble collection wand doesn’t exist, which most likely it doesn’t) Fred George Percy Ron

[@DJ_Mystic]

The only time we've ever seen Charlie in the movies was the Daily Prophet photo of the Weasleys in Egypt in the third movie. Ron's first wand was a hand-me-down from Charlie. It never got a Noble Collection, but we do know what it looks like and that it was made from Ash.

[@BriansReadingHovel]

For Charlie Weasley's wand, he can always model after Ron's first wand, since it was a hand-me-down from Charlie!

[@ragnkja]

@@DJ_Mystic And a second-hand (third-hand?) wand made of ash is practically guaranteed to *not* work all that well.

[@DJ_Mystic]

@@ragnkja Very true.

[@brandonclarke7079]

I'm waiting for Voldemort's wand.

[@garricksapprentice]

100k special!

[@afluffywhitekitty8589]

Man, I know you're experienced and confident using the cloth and the lathe but my god it still freaks me the hell out

[@Galaxy_lou]

You should do the whole weasly collection

[@garricksapprentice]

How about just every wand?

[@alexchoy3962]

@@garricksapprentice Can you please do Sirius blacks wand ?

[@dafitch1]

My god you should sell those wands.. I would buy it even if its 100 dollars LOL

Link in other video descriptions 👀

[@michellelansky4490]

What company and size is your lathe?

[@אימרימגל]

Please make Fred's wand🙏

[@hunterjordan4966]

What wood did you use for this wand? It looked like either oak or ash.

[@christianchilders8556]

He used oak. He says so in the description

Are u still selling the wands

[@patriciaariley5810]

Me too

[@thomaswagner-sf1rg]

Could you make Remus' wand next?

[@garricksapprentice]

Umbridge, Arthur and Sirius next I think!

[@thomaswagner-sf1rg]

Good idea

[@cedricl.5492]

Dommage que le bout de la lame soit en biais je penses qu’il est droit et net sur la baguette de Molly, les baguettes personnage ne sont pas reproduites à l’identique mais je suis fan de votre travail j’ai celle de Minerva et j’attend avec impatience la deuxième de Luna 😊

[@philliprobertson]

Could you make Dumbledores wand from the fantastic beast movies? Not the elder wand.

[@garricksapprentice]

I've got it but waiting for the opportune moment!

[@Parecek112]

Snape’s one please

[@jurassicvin6943]

Wood malfoys dad pls

[@lenninmontiel4539]

Let's see here red hair, tattered robes, tacky second hand books you must be the Weasleys.

That'll be the penultimate wand..

[@GandaMelgao]

Hermione is the most beautiful wand, in my opinion. I imagine it would be quite a challenge to make that wand in the original wood.

[@DJ_Mystic]

@@GandaMelgao Grapevine. Not impossible, but does seem like it would be difficult.
