Odin Makes: the wizard staff from the Pixar movie Onward

[@crimsonvampyre602]

The Light up ball inside the gem is perfect. I love it when the simple dumb idea works out so well. And having it work by slamming the staff down feels very Gandalf

[@OdinMakes]

It really does!

[@glennwelsh9784]

The light-up ball inside the Phoenix Gem is honestly genius. Amazing how well that worked out, and it wasn't even your initial plan. It was just happenstance that you came across a light-up ball that fit your mold and shined through the resin. And the fact that you can activate it by striking the floor with the end up the staff adds to the "authenticity" of the light-up effect. Reminds me of Galdalf striking his staff to the ground when casting a spell.

[@OdinMakes]

Right? I was not expecting it to work out THAT well. and banging the staff on the ground to make it work is really silly, but fun!

[@darklordofsword]

YOU! SHALL! PASS!!!!

[@phil7556]

@@OdinMakes your unbridaled burst of joy at the unexpected success is contagious. It made me giddy and I laughed with you. I've had that similar experience happen on a couple occasions as well. It's a great feeling!

[@adamadamson848]

your laugh is infectious. I did smile when you first made it light up in the staff

[@Girdain]

I love love love how this project really breaks Odin from the usual serious delivery he puts into the editing and voiceovers of his videos. Made me smile especially when he started laughing about how well the concept of the ball worked. Here I thought all that was gonna happen was some drilling to hollow out the resin gem but nope, gotta remember to have fun with your creations / projects and this video says that through and through.

[@nullstudios2989]

“Yeah is good”

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

nice! I like epoxy resin which is pretty transparent, but your way saves a ton on volume!

[@OdinMakes]

That solid gem was so heavy- compared to the staff. The ball really made a difference. And is about half the resin. I could attempt to roto-cast one too. And thank you Jake!

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

Improvise. Adapt. Overcome. The greatest skill as a maker is to be able to make do with what ya got and I think it looks fantastic as always.

The end of that video made my day. I'm the same when something I make turns out awesome. Like a giddy kid.

[@OdinMakes]

Thank you Cerberus!

[@pebbleman54]

That solution for the jewel is perfect! I can't describe how satisfying that is for me! Plus the whole stomping the staff to activate the jewel is perfect!

[@OdinMakes]

Thank you pebbleman! I do love that stomping the staff lights it up. That is fun. I have to hit the concrete, when it hit the pad I stand on, it didn't work!

[@Miniaturegeek]

I have always loved your videos, but this might be my favorite. The look of joy on your face when you tapped the staff on the ground and it lit up was just so awesome. Thanks for sharing your mistakes as well, I think it helps people realize that failure isn't the end of a project.

[@Yo-Da-Action]

Love the hummer in the light as well

[@memphismooney]

I like that you showed so realtime thinking outside the box when things are not going as planned.

[@Emimi33able]

"That's simple, it's stupid, but it works." By GOD I was cracking up with you - I'm amazed and somehow flabbergasted by your solution, Odin. That's hilarious. I'm in love with that solution and the laugh had me laughing too! Wonderful work, as always!

AWESOME !!!! His laugh when the stone lights up was the most genuine I've ever seen !!!!

Some seriously amazing craftsmanship, especially how you blended the various layers without the need for foam clay, which not everyone might have access to.

[@JuJuCrafts]

seeing the true happiness in a staff well done ... couldn't help but smile -- great staff btw

[@fahmisatya5655]

the final result was like a magic itself! I like the combination more than having to press the switch to light up the gem.. genuinely creative!

[@jordanphelan1150]

Dude your laughter and optimism is very contagious and wanted to let you know that you have done a great job! Keep up the great work Odin. It might not mean much coming from me but I am very proud of you!

[@markwallacett]

Love the build! Excellent job with the light-up ball! What about trying the same idea with the flashlight? That way you could connect the wiring for the button.

[@Mythic2099]

[@revenantcosplay]

Great idea with the light up ball. If you try with the flashlight again, consider slush casting. It gives the light a lot less resin to go through and makes the pulls lighter too.

[@StariusPrime]

OMG, tapping the staff to make the gem glow is even better! Haha, necessity is the mother of invention, as they say.

[@Bun800]

I have watched and rewatched this video so many times I cannot thank you enough for making it. I built my own staff for a project based on your lessons and advice, and although not 100% done as I write this, it looks very convincing as a weird witchy wooden staff! Needs a few more coats of paint and some bedazzling. I think this is one of the BEST How-to-make videos I've watched for cosplay. I'll be sure to tag you somehow online whenever I'm able to share the final result! :)
