Not quite Ollivanders wand shop but I'm giving it a go

In this short demo I am practicing "spindle work" as a strive to be competent on the lathe. I go into these with very little plan and just react to what the tools do and any mistakes I may make along the way. This "wand" is made with walnut and has a natural finish.

Holding it like that to avoid chatter is crazy. I like it!

[@peterzazzi5724]

Making wands is probably the most versatile exercise on the lathe, everything is there!!

[@ScottKershawRX]

This was a fantastic video.

[@bobomonkey702]

Came out nice.

[@mikemason5934]

Awesome!!

[@SculptyWorks]

Pretty!

Im think olivander himself would be proud.

[@scottpetrie8707]

Very nice. Would do all the details on the top or heavy side first then go to the slim side. I also made my own carbide tools. It’s nice to use round stock instead of the square bar you are using. You can swing it on a 45 better.

I've tried doing skinny spindle work with my carbide tools. Did you get a bunch of vibration?

[@erimarkov3885]

I've never worked with Carbides, but in the case of HSS tools, vibration can be either too high a speed on your lathe, too aggressive cuts with tools or both. Maybe one of these are the causes of your vibration?

[@ScottKershawRX]

Thank you Tyler for the suggestions

[@bobomonkey702]

Also you may not have centered the wood on lathe. If it's not centered it will vibrate in beginning.

It looks like he got it from olivanders

[@W-Will53]

All I'm sayin is that if you don't want to shatter your work piece or your tools, you need to move the tool rest in as close as possible throughout. Having it that far away from what your turning is a good way to get severely injured.

youre good btw i think it would look better if it was thin

[@Astrogazzr]

Your project turned out great but it would be nice if you would learn how to use your tools correctly. It will help your work go better and prevent unwanted problems in the future.

[@andrewlazenby6598]

Astrogazzr meh... I’m doing just fine.

[@mr.mickles]

Astrogazzr show us how you do it in your videos.
