A Rain Wand

Aug 31, 2011 3 Replies

After having made a magic wand for every kid in the neighborhood and a few for some women I know, this Rain Wand is a significant departure from earlier wands. For this piece, the turning was the easiest, quickest part of the project. Spent eight or ten times the turning time in the "special effects".



What may or may not be of interest to folks here is the use of Tar Gel as a "surface treatment". This stuff has all sorts of interesting potential uses. Any come to mind for YOU?

After over a foot of rain in a week and a half we don't need any friggin rain wands in the northeast.

My wife wants one. For some reason about 2.5" diameter and 10" long.

Please send it over to Western Australia, we have had several years of much below average rainfall. Our dams are only about 32% full and that 300mm would be a big help, being about 1/3 of annual rainfall.
