I watch this 30 times I love your voice so calming and soft😊❤️😁

[@edwarddubois7046]

I am trying to get into wood art and this video is fantastic. Thanks for sharing your creation but also your mistakes. Seeing what not to do is just as, if not more, helpful than seeing what works. Lovely stuff!

[@Lili-xq9sn]

I'm not interested in crafts.... But your videos are enchanting and full of magical ideas. I love that you explain how to use products and avoid mistakes. They are very relaxing to watch, with beautiful, soothing background music. You're my new favourite channel!

[@the_pumpkin_mage]

Aw, thank you so much! ^-^ You're too kind 🖤

[@tingcraft3920]

Goodness this is severely underrated! How can a channel like this be under 1,000 subs??

[@fangsteur2765]

I love that you shared your mistakes, also you are so patient with the whole process! Thanks a lot you got another sub :)

[@VacantFell]

Loved the music choices in the video

[@agreatalternative]

That was a very inspiring video because you didn’t just give up after making a small mistake and the staff is so much better for it, I love that colour!!!
Great end result!
I’ve just made my first Druid staff (video on my channel if you’re interested) and I used a different method for carving in the spiral which is pretty simple and uses just a small knife and sanding paper, also super cheap!

[@TheKulu42]

Good job! I've been making walking staffs as a hobby, using deadwood I've found at local parks. You've offered some good tips I'll keep in mind as I proceed. I've used boiled linseed oil and wood burning to create an oak staff I'm very happy with. Oh, you should teach that teleporting box trick. Really saves on postage, I'll bet!

[@evilpandakillabzonattkoccu4879]

2 in 1 is, sadly, a solid color stain...which means; it's a mild stain, but acts more like a paint. It helps if you're going to want to fast "one and done" job.
I'm so sorry that happened to you! I used to work at Sherwin Williams (which owns minwax) and staining wood, while a bit of a challenge..... is so gratifying!
looks amazing!

[@espressogoblin]

Both you and your Dad are dang awesome.

[@the_pumpkin_mage]

Thank you! ^-^

[@BryerTheKing1]

Off topic but I love your voice and your good looking just saying lol.....

[@kairontherai6024]

You've officially gained your 200th subscriber

[@bubblebee2111]

& now she just got her 250th subscriber. Also, love your profile picture 💖

[@the_pumpkin_mage]

You are both awesome! Thank you so much!! 🖤

[@enricodonadoni2686]

Nice job! My only advice is to buy a vice, it would make this kind of job very much easyer, and if you can also a workshop or at least a garage would make you feel more at ease without worring too much for messing up your home.

[@ALLIKA9231]

So cool!

[@levilamont8005]

I need details on that bag... and where that paper comes from, I'd like to get some for my own scrolls.

[@sethinator9369]

Awesome

[@blimeyitsRichard]

cool :)

[@Bornoldis]

Hi there, I know this vid has been out there for a while. I can tell the elvish Tengwar in the letter is using broken English mode (probably a translator program) it mixed up the vowel symbols if you had one vowel after another. (Like the word thought, road, read, toast, and so on).
It’s hard to read, but I will do my best to translate and post for those who wanna read it.

[@arriannaniv]

Oh?

[@skarinblackraven9212]

Out of curiosity, are you witch yourself? Also I love this video, you're voice and music are very enchanting.

[@randomperson-po1ss]

Come back to instagram!🥺

[@the_pumpkin_mage]

You are so sweet! 🖤 I had actually been thinking about how I should do something on Instagram again soon. I've had a big project that I've been waiting to finish to start the 'next chapter' and I haven't had much inspiration recently. However, now I think I'll take another look at it. Thank you for your encouragement!! ^-^

[@carloko08]

cool proyect, but why you talk so fast? even you get tired after talk, good music and realization

[@the_pumpkin_mage]

Thanks for the input ^-^ It's something I've been working on improving and hopefully I'll learn to read my scripts a bit slower. Thanks for watching! 🖤

[@evanmc.7557]

I hear zelda

[@the_pumpkin_mage]

Yep ^-^
