Most guys would agree that having a good tool collection is essential for being able to properly perform any task. Whether you need a tool for fixing things around the house or need a particular piece of equipment to complete your latest project, having the right tools can make all the difference. One guy who definitely understands this philosophy is Hollywood actor and musician Robert Pattinson. It seems like he is always in the middle of filming something or performing at a concert, but he still finds time to explore his collection and show it off to his fans. So, let’s check out his latest hobby and gear!
Hobby: Collecting Tools
Even though he is now considered one of the most popular or perhaps the most popular English actor of the 21st century, Robert Pattinson has always been more comfortable in the shadow of his famous family name. However, he made a conscious effort to leave his comfort zone and show the world his other talents. Since the beginning of this year, he has been very active on social media, posting a series of beautiful and quite creative artwork as well as revealing multiple sides of his personality.
One of the tools that Pattinson has collected is a set of wands. These are mainly for decoration, but he has discovered a way to use them effectively as well. What is a wand and why should you own one? A wand is basically a flexible dowel with a hilt on one end and a pointed end on the other. You can get some great wand decorations for your home or office, or even make a bold statement and use them as decoration for your tables or floors!
The point is that there is more than one way to use a wand, and it is up to you to find out what they are. As an extra bonus, you will learn a bit about history, philosophy, and magic with these mystical tools! Do you need a wand? Here are some great reasons why you should own one:
Decoration
What is a man’s home, his castle or hermitage? Your answer might be a bit of both. Your home is where you can feel safe and happy, whether it is a large mansion or a small cottage. It is where you cook your family dinner, where you see your loved ones smiling, and where you can escape the bustle of the world outside. Your castle is where you feel protected and powerful, confident that your armies and your weaponry will keep your enemies at bay. Your hermitage is where you go to think, to meditate, to practice magic.
Wands are a great way to add some magic and mystique to your home. They can be used to bless or banish the objects and areas they are tied to, and you can give them away as a present to friends and family.
However, before you start decorating your castle or hermitage with wands, you should probably ask yourself whether you really want to own them. It’s not necessarily a bad thing to want to add a dash of magic to your daily life, but sometimes, the less is more approach works best when dealing with tools, especially when they are as iconic as a wand. Add too many tools to your collection, and it will become difficult to use them all effectively. So, when in doubt, keep it simple!
Repairs
Like most men, Robert Pattinson is an avid hunter. He enjoys taking his mind off his busy schedule by going out to shoot things with his camera and with his gun. As a result, his home is littered with dead animals and blood stains, but that is a story for another time.
However, it is not just a matter of killing things. As a professional archer, he knows how important it is to maintain his prized weapon in good condition and how upset he can get if something goes wrong. When that happens, he will turn to you, his trusted tool collector, to help him find the solution. In other words, if you are unable to fix something, he will have to get someone who can. This is where the wand comes in. He will ask you to inspect his bow, and when you do, you will find that one of the feathers has been damaged. It is then up to you to find the solution. Sometimes, it just takes a bit of patience, and after all, isn’t the hunter’s job to track down their prey and bring them down, not to build a successful career in the arts?
Experimentation
One of the things that make a wand so special is that it is extremely flexible, and that allows you to vary the effect it has on other objects or people. If you point it at a flower, it will bloom; if you point it at a wall, it will break down that wall.
However, there is more than one way to use a wand. If you point it at a person’s head, it will cause them to believe that they have the power to control your mind. The possibilities are endless!
Deciding which direction you want to take your wand in is the first step towards putting it to good use. The second step is to determine how you want to use it. It is quite an iconic status symbol to have a wandering eye. So, if you want to experiment with that particular wand, simply point it at a reflective surface, and watch what happens. Does it make the glass glow? Does it control the wind? Does it open up a portal to another dimension? These are all questions that you can ask yourself, and the answers will depend on how much you are willing to learn.
So, as you can see, there are a lot of reasons why you should own a wand. They are fun to collect, fun to experiment with, and can even be used to bless or banish certain objects and areas of your home. As long as it is not an antique or a magical item that you intend to sell, chances are, you will never have any trouble finding a use for it.
