- Making a wooden wand so that my friend George can stick a retro-reflector on the end and bring it to Harry Potter World.
Also, did I say I got my stock "within 5 thou of 1-1/8 inches? I meant 5 tenths..." #whoops

Very excited you summarized this! And was really bummed I was busy during the live stream. I am going to be using this technique so I greatly appreciate the video. To flatten boards you can shim underneath your stock on the fourth corner that isn't touching the waste board, machine, flip and do the opposite side, only clamping it with Cam clamps. Keep up the awesome work Winston!
Wow, that was cool to watch. That wand looks very delicate. Good to see the process you went through.
Wow! I'd love to try this some day on my X-Carve. I have a friend who would lose her mind getting a real wood elder wand! What a fantastic idea!
Outstanding job sir!
Great video and really glad to see the machining after the Live cast earlier this week.
Awesome looking wand! You can now use the stock from which you cut this out to make a nice box for it. It already has a cutout for it.
This is awesome! I made the Elder wand on the lathe with a Dremel using walnut, I would never have realized you could achieve something similar on a CNC. Your double-sided machining work is awesome!
Thanks that was great, especially how you attacked the potential issues
While I have NO IDEA what an Elder Wand is, but I do recognize a GREAT double-sided machining video. Nice work Winston! Now about them plastic clamps.......lol.
It's a 'magic wand' from the Harry Potter series of books.
Clearly, you read too much into that....
@@RichardCournoyer Why is it a problem, that the guy was reading Harry Potter? It's a great series of books. I've read them too, and i can recommend it to you as well.
Making grooves on the stock in my preferred method of clamping
I have been threatening to do this very thing with a Sirius Black wand for a costume in progress.....Now I feel I need to. :)
I'm gonna hold you to it... No backing out now.
Nice work Winston. Really, really nice!
Jankey Azhell - I think I have some those tools like your router table the name sounds familiar. Great video and careful attention to detail in the build as always. I really like the idea of using the slots for the toe clamps to keep the top clear. That's one I'll file away for later.
Fantastic!! Thanks for all you hard work... I really enjoy your clear explanation of your process...
Wow that looks amazing, you did a wonderful job on it!
Great job, Winston!
Great project Winston. I'm loving these videos.
very cool
Awesome video!!!!
Wow!! I wish I knew enough CAD to accomplish something like this.
Hahahaha, Winston you're awesome.... "Using my janky as hell router table...." ahahahaha. Good work, btw! XD
Appropriate item to make as your Fusion skills are straight wizardry.
I have found my next project, but I will probably just use the 4th axis. Have you looked at using a 4th axis yet? I can recommend the deskproto software for constant rotary machining.
My kids would go crazy if I tell them I can do that with my CNC!!! Thanks!
Turned out great!
a wonderful work of cnc.
Awesome work man!!! I am very inspired to get CNC and start watching a lot more of your videos. Great video work as well.
I thought I had watched this. After watching I realize I hadn’t. First I’m not taking sides I consider both you an William friends, but it was funny calling him out. Second. “Janky as hell router table” made be crack up. Last. I’ve been wanting to turn this on a lathe for a while. Until I saw this. Dang you Winston. Go an up the game. 🤣
Yo that point is 😮
Saw this on instagram and I was super interested to see how to located the part on the flip side. Thanks for sharing!
wow. I will have to make one for my wife!!
Wow! Very nice.
What collet did you use for the 1/8 endmill on the Makita? I happen to have the same router and whould love to be able to clamp in tools thinner than 6mm.
Beautiful!!!
Looks great. You are it sound so easy though.

Hey winston I was just wondering what kind of setup you have? been looking into cnc machines and loved the look of yours.
It's the Shapeoko by Carbide3D.
lol that router table is not as bad as the first one I made/used!
Will you post your fusion file/cam, for those of us not so good with fusion 360? Lol
Oh nice can we get the file for this id love to use it as an experement for my 4th axis!
Legendary! Bravo!
Janky my friend i think not ... if it performs the job its as good as anything you can buy :). you have an excellent router table ;)
Amazing video as always. More 3d carving videos!!
Great job, when you zeroed the 1st side then cut your aligning pins your zero would have moved. How did you setup the 2nd cutting, i would guess with a mark

Could this wand have been done in Carbide Create PRO?
Wow!
Great project! BTW... When you were making your final facing pass, could you have zeroed the bit on the wasteboard and done a finishing pass at the height you needed?
That's where I set my zero, but because I was using the trick where you wiggle a piece of paper under the endmill, and jogging at 0.1mm increments, I was +/- a couple thou with my initial setting. I should have used the touch probe in hindsight...
Winston, have you ditched the dewalt?...
It's installed in the router table for the foreseeable future. With my ambitions to do more metal cutting, 10k RPM is a must-have feature for me.
Nice, Winston! But how did you reset your X,Y zeros? Because, although you've registered the board for flipping, you moved your piece back. Thanks!
Zero is relative to wherever I machine the indexing pin holes on the wasteboard.
@@WinstonMakes Of course. Thanks. I just had to wrap my head around the drill hole tool path in Fusion 360 that is used to drill holes in both the stock and the waste board.
Do you have a source for those indexing pins? Looking to do some double sided machining soon myself! Thanks for another great video Winston.
Home depot 1/4" aluminum rod stock. Not *perfectly* straight, but across the span of 1-2" it's good enough. Especially for woodworking applications. Otherwise there's always Mcmaster... $$$
I should probably have mentioned I live in the UK, but thinking about it.. if I just look for aluminium rod stock I should be able to get something reasonable. Cheers dude!
Even a wooden dowel could work if you find a good one. Bring calipers to the hardware store.
Was thinking that - just liked the allure of a more permanent, sturdy solution!
Now do a new one with actual elder wood?!
Would you be willing to share your Fusion CAD file?
Btw Winston .... What is your other channel??
Однозначно лайк.
what is KW???
How to get a CNC machine like yours?
Buy one. carbide3d.com
OH MY GOD are these people who can make some really good stuff not make a good looking wand
Just shows what you can do even with a machine as shit as the Shapeoko.
lol it's Osman not Osmand
Can you please give me the wand
Janky as hell...lol
