Handmade Witches’ Brooms

&

Custom Props

Welcome to the workshop.

I’m a self-trained, overly enthusiastic madman with an overactive imagination, a dangerous stash of unlabeled adhesives, and zero impulse control when it comes to gorilla glue, expanding foam, or “just one more experiment.” Think of this space as one part prop laboratory, one part chaotic testing ground, and three parts “wait… what was I doing again?”

Right now the chaos is (mostly) aimed at witches’ brooms and decorative home-decor brooms. I start with a vague idea, a pile of materials, and the sincere belief that I know where it’s going… then somehow end up with something that looks like it flew through a thunderstorm, survived a coven meeting, and still somehow makes your living room look cooler. Gnarled handles, wild bristles, that perfect “this thing has seen some shit” energy. Honestly, I rarely have a clue what the finished broom will look like until I decide I’m done. Most of the brooms I sell have been used for social witch gatherings and loosely organized, non spell casting covens.

I’ve built plenty of other props over the years (the pics are here mostly to prove I actually finish some of them), but these brooms have currently hijacked the entire operation. Need one that feels authentic enough for a real spell, or just pretty enough to hang over the mantle and confuse your guests? You’ve come to the right place.

Got a wild custom idea? Cosplay piece? Horror short? Something that doesn’t even exist yet? Hit the contact button and let’s make it. Or explode a canister of expanding foam trying. Either way, it’s going to be fun.

Let’s build something crazy.

Dying broomcorn and African grass into a graphite color. Fail.

My attempt to create these $500 Japanese brooms. Granted I wasn’t using shuro palm fiber (sounds like something I take to go poop) I had good ol’ dyed broom corn. FYI that stuff don’t braid well.

SOME SMALL FAILURES

My attempt to create a Mon Calamari that was a foot soldier instead of the expected officer position. I decided to just create a new race, this is the Mon Octari. They live in the solar system next door to the planet Mon Cala. The Mon Calamari do not recognize them as a relative but find them expendable in battle.

PREVIOUS BUILDS AND MY WORK AREA

P-Tower build. Battle of Hoth. One of my best in my opinion. Sold off to someone with a paint ball shooting range. I had no room to store it.

People will ask what materials I use. Hell if I know. I can give you basics. Wood, plastic, sticks, grasses, glue. The periodic table laughs at me. When it comes to broom handles, its no difference. I’m no arborist. I see a limb that looks like a broom handle, I cut it. I’ve been banned from 3 national parks. Those sticks would certainly have been my finest work. Nothing is safe from getting attached to a witch broom. If I can mount a gas powered engine on one its getting built.
