Today we make a wizards staff. Largely inspired from the magic wand video you may have seen earlier, this is the continuation of the epic chronicles where I learn woodcarving, leathercrafts, bookbinding and so much more. What a magical journey into my fantasy this is turning into, and I can't wait to do more crafts and DIYs with the epic, fantasy theme.

Hansi: "it's super unsafe"
Martina: Say no more
This is why they work well together.
Hansi: I made it just for you..
But It's "Super Unsafe".
Martina: Thank You very, very much. You really, Really do like me..
I need to find someone who can work and match with my impulse and vibe like these two
Also reported to you tube for unsafe! #youtube
( lol )
“I completely randomly made this DIY pressure chamber” 🤣🤣🤣 I love them they’re so cute and funny
I would like your comment but... 69
"and it's absolutely unsafe"
I had to stop the video for a moment because I couldn't hear anything but my laughter :D I just love those moments :D ❤
Hansi ex machina
Relationship goals
Okay, woodworking, bookbinding, electrician work, miniature models, fantasy nerdship, painting and more, all under an umbrella of artistic creation.....
It's an incredibly pleasant affair to discover a thing this wonderful when you have never asked for it, thought about it, searched for it or had any idea that it would make you happy.
And for that, I thank you.
yes!!
Her: working on an epic project she's never attempted before.
Also her: "I just figured out that I can carry my coffee mug with this staff."
Ok, yeah everything she makes is beautiful but can we talk about the stellar video editing?
Also love the "super unsafe" comment
Yes! The attention to detail and her transitions and time lapses are so good!
"And it's totally unsafe!" "PERFECT!"
The same vibe as this: “ah yes, a wizard staff.”
P R A C T I C A L I T Y
My favourite part hahaha
Words I live by-
Damn!!! This is sooo epic. Really appreciate the effort to hide electronics there! Well thought!

Find the imposter
Just an old lady here who thinks she was born a few generations too soon. Martina, you're an inspiration to young women everywhere to be creative thinkers, problem solvers, and makers. I love projects and always have at least one going, but your skills are so far beyond mine it's crazy. This video, in particular, helped me figure out how to do a hollow casting (and bubbles aren't a concern, but thanks, Hansi), and I do so love learning new skills. Thanks to both of you for all of your very informative and entertaining videos.
Martina and Hansi, walking to the hardware store: ah shit here we go again
Friends: why can't you just have a plain old fish tank?
Me: because I watch Nerdforge... and I KNOW this little guy wants to be a sunken treasure chest.
Treasure chest fish tank? 🤔
good job very very good job. Give him a tiny castle too
They need real plants if u have a fish to make them look fancy
This is FRICKIN' EPIC!! I would genuinely be making one now if it wasn't for my lack of funding for importing half a tree, buying 12 gallons of epoxy resin, purchasing of several power tools and my lack of a Hansi for DIY pressure cooker whatsamajig.
However.... I *could* make miniature versions with sticks and UV resin and turn them into earrings! **grabs sketchbook**
BTW; anyone else getting random Zelda vibes from this staff?
Yep, Zelda vibes. Zelda💚💚🥰🥰🥰💚💚💚
defo with the zelda vibes and love the earring idea
Hmm, you don’t need to import half a tree I think. Depending on where you live, you could do the same with just an ordinary plank. Local shops should sell them though you may need to do some looking. You also don’t need power tools! Annnndd….that’s about that for my comfort comment, dunno about substituting a pressure cook and resin. I guess you could just design a 100% wood staff? With cool carvings and stuff?
About 35 years ago I made a staff with a ball on top. I used straight piece of oak branch that I found on a hike and carved it with a 3-bladed pocket knife. Then I flame-tempered it and after scraping all the char off I hand-rubbed it until it was nice and smooth. Since I was a big LotR nerd (and still am) I carved a bunch of runes in it from the appendixes of The Return of the King. Since the staff was a deep brown color the freshly carven runes really popped, as they were the color of un-flamed bare wood.
I ended up giving the staff to my father as a Father's Day gift many years ago. He passed on Tuesday from cancer and as I was cleaning his house and getting together his belongings I found the staff in the closet. He kept it all these years along with a small wooden hound dog I had carved for him.
Anyway, love the channel, it's good to see someone inspiring others to be creative especially in the fantasy realm. The world is so messed up nowadays, everyone needs an escape as well as a positive creative outlet...this channel serves both purposes and I'm glad I found it!
This one took soo much time to make! What do you think about these fantasy-inspired builds? (I love them if you didn't realize by now).
Thanks for watching and waiting for this vid, I know it's been a while since the last one!
I love it. And your channel. You make amazing things keep up the good work guys
I really think that the fantasy builds are cool, and I love your bookbinding videos. But, do you plan on finishing the lazer blaster?
Love it so much. How many hours did it take you to make it?
@@obitoasty7065 Great question. Since many of these techniques are new to me, and we do a lot of cameraworkas well, it's probably not representative for another person, but around 60-70 hours. There was a lot of time spent figuring out how to do stuff, etc. so doing it again would probably only take around 15-20 hours.
I LOVE THEM THEY'RE AMAZING!
a diy pressure pot, a true gift for valentine's day
Trommari as you do
Her: I'm not really good at making things functional, I'm good at making them look good
Me: So you're good at building, but not redstone?
XD
Literally me xd
#MinecraftRefrence UvU
Minecraft reference
Same
"It looks like a giant wrench!"
Me: Technomancer...
So first she mastered steampunk?
Her: make Amazing wizard thingie.
Me with a stick : im a god , fear me.
Yea, sex is great and all, but have you ever got to know how it feels to find a good stick in the forest? That's better.
@@valentinmitterbauer4196 Absolutly
@mid-life crisis at 19 damn yeah
Yes!!! Live the Wizard dream, fear the stick !!!!
@@courtneycherry113 the death stick
Her:"None of these are great"
Me: *cries in the corner* " i can't even make garbage. "
That's not true...
Everybody can make garbage. Take this comment, for instance. It's garbage. d:
Edit: The garbage comment I was referring to was my own. I got no beef with JulietteASM or her comment.
I was super impressed with the drawings even wow
@@kolpik3708 damn. That roast thoooooo
Ugh she’s so talented!! She could literally just sell that staff sketch at the beginning for her planning and I’d buy it lol
I feel like out of all of the amazing fantasy outfits we have been shown and all of the fantasy items you have made, you would be able to film a whole fantasy movie (or short movie) featuring all of the items. It would definitely be a huge project and I understand that but the outcome would be too good to even describe with words.
+!
Wrench staff! That's funny!
Hansi appearing with the "super unsafe" vacuum chamber and the bad acting was an excellent touch.
Beautiful work as always!
It`s pressure chamber. So the pressure goes up and that thing can go flying in pieces.
Your a true wizard for doing this stuff. First spell-books, then magic wands, and now a wizards staff. I wish I had your magical talents.
This channel is so underrated. No only are the projects cool the editing is really good
"Actually, I have to clean up after myself" hahahaha relatable 😁
MARTINA: [SHAKING FIST AT THE SKY.] "Oh, land of my forefathers - why are you overburdened with Pine trees?!? Would it kill you to sprout the occasional Oak?? " 😭
Wand? Nah
Giant staff of hitting? YES
The shoosha stick 😂
God, I think you truly are THE most inspirational youtuber I know. You're more inspirational than channels which DO self-help motivational inspirational stuff, and you are so completely effortlessly, without even trying to be inspirational, you are! Thank you for what you do and sharing your skills and talents with us in such a beautiful and fun way!
I used to study woodworking and this channel has made me fall in love with it so much again! I wish I had a workshop like this. You guys are awesome!
With so much dedication to carve this huge wooden plank and then split and re-glue it back and shape the top part, I can no longer resist and join as a member! Please don't stop doing what you are doing! Just be a bit more safe when drilling things, no need to loose a hand ;) well, and wood+PVC pressure pot also... fun, but you two deserve good tools!
The "Staff of Power" it holds the substance with greatest power known to mankind, COFFEE!
😂
this channel is putting more fantasy in my life and I love it
"get your shit together" actually made me laugh... 😄
Amazing work.. and props for working out in the cold to do it. 👏🏻
It made me so happy that you actually listen to your subscriber's. As I was watching you and your amazing craftsmanship...I cried. It is so stunning. Yes, I'm possibly a loon.
Love your work.
Omg I too got emotional watching her work. Its just so beautiful when people can do things with their own hands 😭🤩😍
"i made this for your!...... It's super unsafe!" Lmao 😂 best thing ever
Absolutely stunning! I'm new to the channel due to this epidemic. But I am so happy I found it! Thank you TH-cam! It's a beautiful gem! I'm definitely impressed with all the hard work and thoughtfulness you put into your work. Well done my dear. I'm so happy I am here. ❤💯
6:39 "It looks like a wrench right now, which destroys the epicness"
Ratchet and Clank: "Excuse us?"
lol
Throws down 10 breathtaking staffs like it's nothing then cut to her saying "I figured none of these were really great"
Like what the heck are you talking about!? Those are beautiful!
Martina, you did it! It turned out way better than I dared to imagine. Very very well done.
And just so you know, those other staff designs you drew kicks ass.
Great job :)
*New Project*
Martina: i need new equipement
BAUHAUS: Oh, there she comes again!
Very beautiful! I love the finished staff! Thanks for sharing the creation process with us, Martina!
Hansi: Made out of Plywood, PVC pipe & it's completely unsafe
Me: No LEDs?!
15:02 i like how she continue playing with it like nothing happened XD Good job btw! I love it
Beautiful! Both the staff and the video are so pretty and well made! Always a delight to watch you create beautiful things, you're a true artist
The jig you made to round off the staff was BRILLIANT! I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!! 🥰🥰🥰
"I CAN PICK UP MY COFFEE WITH IT" LMAO
13:50 I like the green blue bubble balls [there mystical imo] I really like that staff
The staff is amazing.. I love your pieces, books all of them are imaginative and gorgeous.
You've become one of my favorite "makers" on YT. Binging all your videos and enjoying them immensely. Keep it up. Maybe one day you'll get to do something with Adam Savage. You definitely deserve a shout-out on his channel.
For your next staff, you can try to use magnets to hold the removable pieces in place. And when do we get to see a build video on that 'use at your own risk' pressure chamber?
You continue to impress! This is so beautiful! And also, I am LIVING for the persistence of your epoxy testing! Good on you for not settling for less than perfect!
I am officially addicted to watching your channel! Your mind is amazing!
You're a genius... I wouldn't have ever thought of the jig thing... And all your projects are so creative... I'm in awe
If your bf hasn't made you a pressure chamber, is he even your boyfriend?
lol
This was out 10 minutes ago and 3 people already dislike it
They're just afraid of your skill, dw
They fear the mighty crafter
Just a few wizards that have staff envy!
Haters gonna hate, pay them no mind.
What makes me laugh is to get to the video that fast they have to be subscribed 😂
Maybe safety people?
I LOVE watching you design and build your and your viewers ideas. I still think you could make killer money, making movie props, like your books, the wand, this staff and all the other cool stuff you have made. GREAT WORK and videos !
Thank you, I was entertained and love your creations. New subscriber💖💖💖
anyway if y'all need me i'll be out in the forest finding a suitable fallen branch to practice my woodworking skills on
Have you made a treasure chest yet? I would LOVE to see your carvings on that!!!
I love you actually dressed up to match the staff, like you did for the crystal at the hill scenery.
Hooked! and added your Patreon! I love how you make everything seem very accessible. A lot of DIY'ers have skills far beyond mine!
13:50 this is such a good bit it made my heart melt you guys are so cute omggggggg
Yassss I agree so cute
I know this is not supposed to be a tutorial, but it still gives me some very good ideas about how to make a Staff of Magius for my Raistlin Cosplay! So thanks!
Ooh, Raistlin! How has that gone?
@@songofshadow5043 Honestly I kinda gave up although I do have some very nice fabric for a cloak
@@mossthemage9948 Aw. Well, cloaks are cool.
Need a video on the unsafe pressure tank build! Love both you guys. great job.
Such an awesome work! Love your crafts, your edition, and everything!
Absolutely stunning! I speak from the heart when I say you both are amazing content creators and truly inspire me to be creative. I want to say THANK YOU for dedicating your time towards that! Also right on for being yourself Martina because your personality and mannerisms are hilarious and make the videos that much more entertaining! Keep on staying awesome!
Do you think you could get one of those plasma lamps to fit on the end? With a mini smoke machine
I've just come across your channel and loving your work! You have great skill and the finished results are just amazing.
I love that you are using a hand planner. I fine that it always gives wood a nice look.
You look like a Night Elf of Teldrassil with that outfit and beautiful staff! The LEDs make it seem like it is really magical. So well done!!!
I love how much work you put into all your builds ❤️ the staff looks absolutely beautiful 😍 and it's so cool that the orb has kind of a blue smoke inside - I don't know if it was on purpose since it looked like it was hard so mix the color but it looks so cool!
you are an amazing artist! Wish I could just sketch objects like that!
oh my gooooooood, these final shot are gorgeous, i'm speechless. You would do so, soooo well into SFX stuff in like films or series ! You're incredibly talented !
The pressure chamber bit omg hahahqhahq
So reletable cus i myself have made one out of a pressure cooker and i fear for my life everytime i use it
During a job interview:
- "Ok, let's test your troubleshooting skills. What if-"
- "*Ahem* ACTUALLY, I have a Hansi at home."
Cowabunga! Hired on the spot.
P.S. That's one mean staff! You did a terrific job, Martina. Wouldn't have expected any less.
This is awesome!!! Just started watching your vids like last week and I'm already crazy about the things you make!
My dad works with resin and the bubbles are the hardest thing to deal with. When stirring I guess just don't stir too hard, and also make sure you stir after to remove them, wait a little before pouring the resin into the container, this also helps the bubbles go away.
It's also good how you didn't polish the sphere too much, it would've ended up too transparent so you'd see the LEDs.
I honestly wanna give this a shot myself now, never done any kind of manual work myself but this makes me wanna get started and experiment a little, thanks!!
Behind every amazing crafter is a supportive significant other that helps us work through our crafting challenges! Love that you have such an amazing supportive person cheering you on and helping you! My honey is always helping me figure things out and when I say "ummm HEY BABE..." HE already knows he is about to either help me work through a challenge OR I need him to hold something 😂 love your creativity!! Keep up the amazing work!
Soooo cooool!
From dead wood, of course.
Amazing job, girl! Really fantastic! 😃
This was on my " must watch" so I did and I love it.
So glad to have come across this. It's right up my ally too.
THANK YOU ✌
Ty for these videos and explaining your thought process it’s really helping me!
Awesome staff, really Good looking project!!! 😍Next time, try pouring in thinner layers, pouring the next One before the previus One is completely hardened, should make it less deformed as well as the first layers reinforces the next ones om top 😁
pls pls pls make the last elemental tome, i'm begging you and your beatifull brain full of this marvelous ideas
This staff is immense. Luv and support. 🖤
I enjoy that your commentary is useful, and not an overload of information.
I love you and Hansi so much! I got super excited to see that you made a new video 😁😁😁 You guys are so *incredibly* talented! ❤
I just wanted to say hi and that the stuff you do inspires me so much and this was soooo cool
Yes!
I'm here just for that intro am I right? This is so freaking coooooooooool!
Excellent staff. I just discovered your channel, and I wanted to say that the improvement you have made over the last 3 years is AMAZING! The production values, your English, the editing, and the sound quality are now all top notch. You two do an incredible job producing extremely high quality content. Subscribed!
This is now by far my favorite build of yours. And that's saying something since I like almost all your builds. I would love to see a collab with @kamui cosplay. I know she is in Germany and you are in Norway, but I think the things you two could do would blow people's minds. Your prop making skills are top notch!!!
You are so talented, and your work are admirable! I love when your vids pop my notification box! Plz can you do the final elemental book, I am dying to see the last element!! Plz plz plz
I loved everything about this video.❤ that staff is magnificent I love the colors of the different woods.
I think this is my fave project. So many materials and it looks so noble.
You guys are a unique couple when one earns the other's smooch with .... a pressure vessel! I'm on the right channel now! Thanks so much for sharing your journeys in art/making/craft/problem solving! ... Final result? You're a Queen of the Forest in that final look!
When sanding resin remember to put on a mask if it's not completely dry!!!
OMG what you do for us! I love this kind of stuff, magic things seems really cool!
Best line in the whole video... 13:58 ... "it's absolutely unsafe!"
Just found out you gave your staff prop too for the short film "Distance" ! Very cool 👍
You guys are so amazing and cool! Watching the video is purely entertaining. :) Also, where did you learn to work with wood so well??
You guys are craft masters ! I appreciate your hard work and effort !
Magnificent!
Every project is a journey in with you are enter us!
Thank you!
