I love this stuff. I’m a vet and started to wood work recently. I miss working with my hands and this stuff is so therapeutic. Love watching and learning
Nice Job. I just started this woodworking hobby about 5 years ago when I retired from the Baltimore City Fire Department (37+ years) and the US Army Reserves (also 37+ years). So you know I'm still learning the craft. Thanks aging. Will
OMG thank u soooo much man! I did this for my GCSE practice and my teacher (who just so happens loves harry potter) said it could pass an A in an actual exsam! I owe ya one
Hermione, Danilo knows because he probably already watched it. here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rg7PGZ6Ok0k.html over 7 months ago. LOL! you should have subscribed. :-)
Man your Nimbus replica is so awesome, i would be lucky if i can make it like as you do. your one lucky man for a having an Hp collection like the nimbus
I love this Nimbus... all 3 brooms.. Look real and amazing job ... You really did a magnificent job at this and don't mind the others what they say. I love it... Would want one exactly as you did... Thank you for sharing and showing us how to make one... Very Nice Indeed!!!
I wish I had these tools. But hell it you make this again I would gladly pay for it because my wife is a huge Harry Potter fan. Anyway I'm subscribing for sure!!
Most impressive. Although, I would have painted the inner foam by hand, as spray paint potentially erodes all foam more often than not. LOL, Believe me, I know from rather unfortunate experience...
And what color do you think mine is? Did you watch the whole video? what part of don't throw stones did you not understand? Please send me the link to yours, I would love to see how to do it right.
Amazing!!!! I'm not a Potter fan but my niece IS n I'm going to attempt this. Can u possibly give me the the specs on the handle like what the length is total n the length from the end to the first bend, how long the bend is, n the length on the 2nd straight piece? And how long our bristles need up being? I don't have the tools u have but I'm determined n tenacious....Lol. Got my board ready to start. Think ill go foraging for the bristles today. Thanks for showing!
Integrity, As you can see in the video I just space it out to what looks about right. I did not stick to any specific measurements. As in all my videos, I make it up as I go along. I no longer have that broom. I still have the secondary broom stick somewhere so I will measure it when I get home and let you know. Jon
JON'S DIY thank u sooooo much. This gives me a jumping off spot. I really appreciate it. U truly did an amazing job at it. Here's to me attempting it anyway....lol
This was amazing! You can tell a lot of hard work went into it. You never mentioned how you put the name on the handle… Did you just use gold paint and a brush?
The 2x6 was 6ft long. I ended up cutting it to a little under 4 feet once I had my sketch on the board. draw out and cut the base (where the bristles are) longer. That way if you need to shorten it to get the right size you can. If you start to short, then you have no way to make it longer.
Jon, what brand of metal bending tool are you using in the video? Or where did you buy it? And were you able to make the roughly 6 inch diameter of the kickstand part with this tool? The broom you made is great. I made one myself that I will have to post some pictures of when I figure out how to do that.I made my kickstand out of acetal rod which I have to heat and then form it to the shape I need. And I would like to try the aluminum rod instead. Thanks for any help you can offer.
Sure there are many pictures at "quidditch box set" on google this is the one from the movie www.themarysue.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/quidditch-trunk.jpg but the senter peace opens and inside is the golden snitch ... it is best if you watch the first movie when they explain everything. At 01:03:55 I checked in case you dont want to watch the hole thing... YOU lose :P You did a grate job any way with the broom!!!
Probably less than you. I can only do these types of projects on the weekends in between swim meets and soccer games. So I am impressed that I got this one complete.
Hey Jon! This broom is amazing but is there and easier way to make the kickstand because I don’t know how to work with metal and I really want to make it
Minz, I actually considered buying moldable plastic and making the kick stand. It is really easy to shape and paint. But with the weight of this broom I was unsure if it could hold the weight when dry. But there is also 2 gauge wire that you can bend by hand. That would probably do the trick as well.
TheNuyorker did you get a chance to see the making of the Nimbus 2001? Would love for you to post that in your FB HP groups. Thanks for the assist. Jon ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5F23mhOFVng.html
