Woodturning - There's Hidden Magic in this Wood!

Today I turn a magic wand in the workshop, let me know if this is the sort of thing you like and I can make more! I was inspired by the many wands in Harry Potter, and I've merged a few designs into one for this.
I use a piece of Yew and a tiny piece of Pau Rosa for the heart of the wand.

Disclaimer:
My videos are for entertainment purposes only. Some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest, so when using any tool or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines first.
And Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practice. The gloves I wear are tight-fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT copy my actions if you feel unsafe doing so.

Are you a fan of Magic? And should I make more? 😉😁

[@rjung_ch]

Yes please 🙏

[@cynthiabooth9796]

[@JamesCouch777]

I watched the whole video without looking at the description and I couldn't figure out what it was even though it was pretty cool. Nice job on the magic wand 😊.

[@notbadsteve]

Nice. I have made a few before, for my daughter. They look really good with different coloured glass gems inlayed. 👍

[@djolds1]

Beautiful work. More please. Love the fantasy style.

[@pawslatheworks]

I had a pair of latex gloves get ripped off by my lathe and I was EXTREMELY lucky they were just latex gloves that could rip off. Please let the gloves go when turning. Awesome work!!!

[@bluesix2843]

It’s the first thing I ever made on my first go with no experience. I broke my daughters wand that I had bought her so promised to make one for her…years later I made good on the promise. She was thrilled (and very patient) Made a few now myself.👍

[@mitchgillilan]

As soon as i saw that branch i knew it was a piece of yew wood! The wand came out nice, kind of rustic and yet refined at the same time 👍

[@garyjones5672]

brilliant MORE PLEASE

[@solidarityworkers6900]

It's a wand-er-ful piece of yew. Yew really make the wood look elegant. Nice job Harry.

[@deerazor8280]

Wow, it's very nice, what is it? A pointy stick! 😳

[@Givulinovich]

For those that are puzzled by the creation, it is a magic wand.

[@darrylbuckett5380]

Mmm Harry Smith, alias "Potter". Nice work Harry. Cheers

[@amandatallis9875]

Hi Harry nice to see you, the wood has lovely grain and colour and markings. The wand is magnificent well turned I really love it. I love your videos and work. Amanda xx

[@sindorevuelta6544]

Todo un artista.

[@pablomoralez5910]

AWESOME!!!💖😎👍

[@madeleinegombert661]

Fun Project 🎉

[@kcamp1640]

Thats actually pretty cool. Didn't know where you were going there for a minute.

[@QuinZelse]

Very cool. Got a wicked feel to it. Every evil wizard needs a +1 wand of Trypophobia

[@famczcebioscln]

beautiful spindle, I like this product

[@SuesOriginals]

Nice work! I was going back and forth between worrying you would break it and what are you doing with your hand on the spinning piece of wood? I love what you came up with. Specially the tiny figure in the heart. I say make more of these! They would probably sell well there in the UK. I’ve made three wands out of clay but they are not as impressive as yours is.

[@TB-lo9iq]

Friend, please lose those gloves as fast as you can. I've seen numerous industrial accidents that were caused by a glove gaining traction on a rotating shaft. You will end up with an involuntary grip on the shaft and the inertia of the machine will pull a finger OFF! With that tool rest right there, the possibilities are even worse. Also, maybe rethink spraying lacquer into your dust collector? At best, it's making a mess of your equipment. At worst, it's combustible and collectors are notorious generators of static.

[@wncsnake]

I came by to say the exact same thing

[@leedavies7757]

Yes, I was wincing watching that with the gloved hand around the timber.

[@1161byron]

A guy in my shop,had gloves on working a drill press,heard a scream and his right index finger was gone,your absolute right.

[@bretteee]

Couldn't agree more

[@adrianglanvill9749]

Forty years of skill development management and family in the joinery business agrees. Rather get a splinter or small emulsion than lose a finger or hand.

[@elliottsimkins74]

Nicely handled!

[@jude4896]

Thanks for sharing

[@lisaclark7103]

Very magical 🎉

@@HarrySmithWoodturning all you create does have a magical touch as is. Thanks for taking us along.

[@robertcloe2140]

Ok now I got to get a stick out of the yard and try this

[@King-Ghidora]

Needs a gem in the hole to increase the power of the wand.

[@AnthonyWiddowson]

Very nice. ❤

[@HarrySmithWoodturning]

Thank you Anthony! Should I make a series of wands? 👍😁

@@HarrySmithWoodturning definitely. Remember the wand chooses you. 😃

[@johnlewis5663]

That is fantastic.

Thank you John! Should I make a series of wands? 👍😁

[@johnlewis5663]

Yes, kids would love them.

[@susanmarshall817]

Nice work!

[@dougthatcher3521]

Am I the only one who sees a baby bird beak-upward waiting for a worm?

[@modzzjust4u]

Is the wood dry?

[@med1pilot1956]

Wrapping gloved hand around a turning spindle had me cringing and wincing.😮

[@johnbritt5448]

Kinda like never wear a ring when working on a helicopter in the army. The battery will fry you instantly. Remove rings when working.

[@izeddinhussein3229]

Thanks for the youtube specifications that let you see video in faster speed and even jump to the end to see the final result instead of wasting the time to se every millimetre turning.

[@hyliadreamer]

My trypophobia's been triggered with all of those holes.

[@pinballrobbie]

I'd like to have that for a spell.

[@sandywheeze3505]

My first guess was a cane. It's bee 3", is it a bat?

[@Thaumh]

ACCIO *WAND!* ... dammit

[@romariodossantos4692]

The weirdest woodturning i ever saw 🤔

[@curtismiller8529]

I'll bet it's a Bird Feeder.

[@NormanLee-iy1uz]

The chisels should be the ONLY thing:s 2 touch the wood.

[@user-ok9oo8nv4n]

Подобная работа несёт практическую цель??! Для чего эта палочка? Поначалу я подумал, что это будет веретено, чтобы прясть пряжу! Но нет, я жестоко ошибся!!! 🤨🧐😏😒🥱😳

[@Givulinovich]

It’s a magic wand.

[@agreatalternative]

Such a great end result! Can I ask why you started with a piece so large? I’m new to wand making (just released a video of my first attempts) and keen to learn more from talented people like you!

[@paulblackburn931]

What was it ?

[@solidarityworkers6900]

It's MAGIC 🧙‍♂️🪄

[@19konst62]

И что получилось, да так ничего😂

[@davida.1905]

What is it?

[@solidarityworkers6900]

A football ⚽️

[@chriswatts6629]

A stick

[@PorteDeCieux]

A walking stick for a little person.

[@calvinboykin4777]

Ok, what is it?!!

[@JayFolipurba]

Why does that dremel in the middle of the video sound Italian?

[@mikegifford3826]

Take off gloves keep fingers

[@user-lm8mq2ht1g]

🤔???

[@curtismiller8529]

Jack please make something that makes sense.

[@Karl_Ukarlovich]

Это что такое? Анальная пробка для слона? 🤔😳

[@user-ly1oz6yj5t]

И для чего эта херня?

[@alancharles6789]

At first I thought clarinet, then recorder, then over-fussy balustrade, then table leg - I gave up. I didn’t want to waste any more time watching a tooth pick being made.

[@roymartin3433]

Lose the gloves before you lose a finger

[@tonygray7751]

to much harry potter

[@Trubodur]

Хренотень. На дрова вполне пойдет.😂

[@american23t]

At first I say he's turned a beautiful spindle. Then he pulled out a Dremel tool thus proceeding to give it acne and cancer. SMH😮😮🙄
