Resin Wand - "Secret Wood Wand" - Inspired by Peter Brown

- This project was inspired by Peter Brown's "Secret Wood Wand" video (link below). I saw his video and thought it was a really cool idea and decided to try and make something similar. I recently discovered that parchment paper does not stick to epoxy resin. Armed with this new knowledge I set out to make a mold using parchment paper. The main advantage I suppose is the minimal clean up when de-molding. This could probably be done using some poster board or card stock but that would definitely stick to the resin. While I don't think my wands turned out as nice as Peter's I am still super happy with how they came out. My kids loved them so in my book that a win! Thanks for watching.

Those look fantastic! So simple too. Making me eager to do a resin project. Perfect music also!
Thanks Bernie! Resin is some cool stuff.
I love these wands.... Very nice indeed... The color and simple way of doing them.. just Amazing... I have been making wands with wood only with Dremel and these wands and just Fantastic...! Thank you for sharing...!!!
That's awesome thanks!
This was a great idea that pretty much anyone with almost no tools could do. I wouldn't have ever considered this. Great job Dan.
Thanks bro that's what I thought too. Now I just need to figure out how to stabilize wood on the cheap, messing around with epoxy has a certain allure.
I don't know anything about Harry Potter or wands, but the bottom of that shorter one is so cool and intricate. Great job.
I didn't either until just this last year my son started reading the books and then we started watching the movies. Before we knew it we were all in to Harry Potter.
Shiny! And what a fantastic colouring effect. Good work dan.
Thanks it really is a cool effect the camera doesn't quite capture the color variation you see in person.
I felt like Dobby was going to make an appearance :) I love the spooky vibe!
Hahaha thanks!
That’s cool...the epoxy resin videos I’ve been enjoying
Thanks man its some cool stuff to play with.
Very cool Dan! I love stuff like this.always cool and fun to experiment
Yeah man this experiment actually helped me figure out an easier, well less messy, way to make Micarta.
@@danthemakerman nice! Less mess means less waste in turn means less money spent. Something like that. Lol
What an wand ...supeeb..i am a big fan of Harry Potter..and i love that wand..its super beautiful
Thank you it was fun to make too. I appreciate your comment.
Very cool looking wands!
Thanks brother!
Omg they turned out so awesome! I'm gonna have to try this.
Thank you I appreciate it!
Awesome project Dan!! I like the color!! 👍👍
Thanks Jake, makes me want to step up my game and get in to the resin casting stuff.
This makes me wonder if it would be possible to make a resin “gem” inside a wand and have the wand kinda “grow around it...I’m probably not describing it well
I think I get what you mean, sounds cool!
Really cool man, good job
Thanks man, epoxy resin is fun stuff.
Awesome mr maker man 👍🏻
Thank you brother.
They came out really cool dude!
Thanks man, you know that epoxy stuff is fun to mess with.
How do you figure out how much epoxy to mix?
Its been a while but I probably taped off the metal tube/conduit that I use to tape up the parchment paper and filled it with water to get an idea of how much liquid I would need.
I like it, but do they work? ;)
Cool! Yes they work if you are a wizard.
I knew there was a catch. I still like them.
Dark background with HP theme song is so creepy
