This project is a little unusual, but that’s nothing new if you have been following my work for a little while. This is a prop for our roleplaying game (and you can check out some unrelated but cool material over on my other site WalkingPapercut.com). This project involves mild pyrotechnic… Continue Reading Pyrotechnic Roleplaying Prop
Have you evern been threatened via an empty piece of cloth inscribed with a weird sentence that is only threatening if you apply a very harsh case of misunderstood grammar, based on an odd narrative choice that is very transparent in terms of making the video happen?

If you watched my previous video where I make a Key of Aaravos (a wooden cube inexperiently carved) you might have noticed this little guy’s cameo. Here is how I made this one, and a technique that will allow you to make your own latex hollowform! I am fascinated by… Continue Reading Making a Latex Hollowform Slug

A friend asked me whether I was interested in a couple of display cases made from some kind of plastic. They were colorful and free, so I said yes. When I learned that they are actually made from fluorescent acrylic – a good choice for things supposed to catch the… Continue Reading Acrylic Wand – made from Fluorescent Acrylic
I know it looks like I made another magic wand, but with good reason. I use it to showcase a very simple technique that you can use to animate things, i.e. make them move. And even better, you do not need microcontrollers, servos or electricity for it – springs and… Continue Reading Animate a Cthulhu-Wand
A witch infesting your garden is as good a reason as any to bust out some old table legs and make a couple of wands. Each table leg wand comes with their own special finish according to the elements they are dedicated to. Enjoy, and remember to be Inspired! And… Continue Reading Table Leg Wand Turning – The Witch, the Wands and the Apple
There is something magic about magic, and there is something weirdly relaxing about the Seventies, at least for those of us who have not actually lived through them. Let me know what you think about this seventies wand, and what the wizard (or witch) that used it would have looked… Continue Reading Seventies Wand – far out casting in Style!
