For the last half dozen years or so I have been making ball and cup games and taking them to the volunteers at the local Akron Children's Hospital.  This year I decided to change it up and make Harry Potter wands.  I have a dozen done so another dozen to go.  Made them from some 5/8" birch dowels 48" long.  Each one yields four wands.

 

 

The handle comes from some spindles I salvaged from a crib I saw on garbage day some years ago.  Each spindle yields four handles so they work well with the dowels.

 

 

Here is the dozen done so far.  There are seven similar ones and that is the design I am going with.  I guess there is no exact model for them.

 

Some nice work and for a good cause.  

Way to go Dan

 There some magic in those for sure

 

All around great Dan

Really nice, Dan.

Very well done sir!  Nice work.

Great idea and nice work too!

 

Harry Potter would be proud Dan. Nice work!

Thanks for the kind words.  Made a total of 30 of them.

Nice, so you will have a house full of Wizards now.  

Those look wanderful!

A wonderful job Dan for a wonderful cause!!!

Turned out nice... Now can you wave it to make Kevin disappear. .....

Dan, the wand maker.  I have been working on some for a few months, but nothing like yours.  I will initiate a separate thread.  I give them to children.  One little girl one day said, "It really works!"  Glad that I wasn't in the way.  Great job, Dan.
