As others have stated in the comments bellow we are really interested in seeing you actually making a wand. You give great ideas and tips for conceptualizing the wand making process, but the reader can't do a whole lot with that info if they can't see the real process. Some of the viewers, myself included, are interested in getting into wand making but it can be a large investment. I know that I would want to see a start to finish wand to get more of a holistic idea if I want to pursue wand making.

Kivox, you should look into getting a 3d printer, you could come up with some really cool wands adding unique pieces that were printed.

My wand came to me in a dream

I would love to know the must have tools you use. or a tools for beginners.

If you absolutely want an animal design you can take a promenant aspect of that animal but keep it simple enough that few people can notice. For example I like barn owls so I might make the handle look remotely like a barn owls wing with small notches where the markings are or if you like dolphins or whales etc. you could have the pommel look like the tail fin while having other details in the handle or blade. In short use the animal as inspiration without putting a head on the wand

I’m not clever enough to make wands, but loved this. I spend so much time on the bus etc so your tips for designing are soooo helpful. Would love to see your next steps in your process

Love the content; keep it up! I'd like to see a basic wand tutorial using nothing but tools most people would have on hand (knives, sand paper, maybe a cheap dremel, etc.). Also reviewing wand concept sketches idea every so often like you do with completed wand photos would be nice. You could also do a video going more in depth on different kinds of woods, their weights/properties, and which are easier/harder to work with.

I'm really loving the design at 24:19. You have to make that wand!!!

Massive, massive fan of your work. I’m not a wand designer or maker but your work got me hyped to try sketching a few designs. Good work!

I have only ever sketched one wand before I made it. It is my personal wand. As you say, it did change from the sketch a bit and wasn’t exactly what I designed

I'd like to see content on wand boxes and sheaths/bags along with non-power tools that you recommend for making purely hand carved wands

Love seeing those scraped and scratched working hands when you design the wands close up. I am a beginner wandmaker (apprentice if you want) and I make the wands out of branches, so the design process would be a lot different as i can only work form the dimensions that the wood give me, I know you do not usually do that kind of wandmaking, but do you have any tips on designing from given dimensions?

Hey Kivox, would you ever consider making more shorter wands that can be used as hair sticks? Around 7" or so? Maybe even pairs of them? I have a beautiful padauk wand from your shop that I love wearing in my hair, but it's rather menacing at 12- 3/4" long (although that never stops me from wearing it, lol 😉) Also, I love the video! It's inspiring to hear a bit about your creative process :D

I actually like your KISS concept in designing! I often have a problem with overly detailing something and regretting the details later or foregoing the details and regretting not putting them in later all for the sake of themes. I will apply it to my designs for religious art. Thank you and more power!

I'm starting as wand maker and I really enjoy your videos and your wands are very peculiar, in the good way, I like very much your work

Have you ever incorporated gold leaf into your wand making? I think that would be really cool!

I cant remember where i saw the one i loved it it was a human skeleton and the lags where the blade but they where all twisted and it just looked cool the pumal part was the 💀

Thanks for making this video I've been looking on youtube for wand design videos,awesome vid

Hi! I t s Ana. I used to make my own wands until I starting buying NOBLE collection item's I stopped. I should have been going but my fascination with reel wands got me. So now I regret it. Tanks giving is over so I'm gonna wash the leg bones and start making a wand out of bone. Kinda like LORD VOLDERMORT wand bbut my version. Thanks for sharing with us and come up with great ideas for your show...💋💋💋

I'm still planning on creating my ferret wand one day...

When I design a wand, I only use one or two different colors on one wand, and I usually keep most busyness on the handle areas.

As a person who preaches the validity of the K.I.S.S. method ( specifically that form follows function) in regards to artificing, I respect your advice on following the natural flow of where the project takes you while not making it overly busy to the eyes. That said, it's my understanding as an artist that if the wand material wants an animal face ( or indicative animalistic characteristic aspect) on it, it'll get it one way or another. This is because wands choose their wielders, not the other way around. Secondly, if you are using blade making terms I would recommend referring to the handle as a hilt due to your definition of a handle including a pommel, grip section, ferrules and a guard.

Please make more videos like this 😍

School finished yesterday, but I'm already back here to learn 😁 great vid helped me alot

Thanks for these class videos. I’m learning a lot. Can’t wait for more. 💜

One of the HP subscription boxes actually had wands with the heads of the animals of the houses on it :') And I also was like... eh... I don't like that..

I'm kind of thinking about this now. How do the wands in the Harry Potter world evolve in a wizards lifetime? Is there a 'pimp my wand' - community? I mean, 11 year old Tom Riddles wand probably didn't look like a the wand of a monster. Or if it did, it possibly traumatized him into being evil. But are there wand customization shops where you can get different handles and add-ons? Is it like a tattoo palour or does Ollivander do it? I have so many questions and I am definetly overthinking this.

Thank you so much for making this video. I always wondered how you do it. I would like to see how to make the different parts like the pommel and handle

for things that have strong symbolism like animal heads, it can in certain situations work, like Lucius Malfoy wand. what to me is important is the "why", why do you have a snake head on your wand ? well, they as a family very much fit the Slytherin stereotype, they have some dodgy things going on with the dark arts, etc... and so because this strong symbol that is a snake head as something that backs it up, it works. but if you made a wand for harry potter that had a Phoenix on it, it would just be cheesy. sure, is wand as a Phoenix core, and it's an important part of his story, but it's just not profound enough of a link and harry potter just doesn't represent the Phoenix enough.

Do you still create wands? I stumbled across your shop before and saw great reviews, and now I've stumbled across your videos-- would love for you to help me bring my wands to life!

Harry and Voldy’s wand designs 100% represent them. Harry’s has the bark/root design which is reminiscent of how he is in fact an uncut and unpolished diamond. He is kind of a mediocre wizard until he actually apply himself - you’ll find in the books he’s a total slacker. Voldemort’s character is all about death. Escaping it, passing it around with Killing Curses, obsessing over dark and death magic, taking his filthy Muggle father’s bones etc.

I love your videos your wands are so creative I've even designed some of my own wands

Can you please do a 103 that shows how you select the wood and you starting to carve it into a basic shape/ design then 104 could be shaping the wand and final details or something like that please

How would you make a wand that isn’t symmetrical?

It would be nice to know more about logos and it would also be cool to see you make a wand.

I'd love to know what different bits you recommend for the dremel for making wands

It would be awesome if you'd design your videos in a more hogwarty lesson style! greetings from germany

I’d like to know where you get the wand wood and basic tooling.

"I'd never make a wand with a whale or a cat on it, because I want my wands to be more... serious" So then make a wand with a Dog on it :P that's a pretty sirius wand

you should do a full notebook showcase kivox, who else agrees p.s what is your fave wand wood other than padouk

Excellent lesson Professor Ender 👌🤓⚡❤

I just found your channel today, watched a few videos and have to say: You and your work are amazing! I just got into „wand making“ with chop sticks and hot glue 😅 I think they are okay for the beginning, but they just don't feel right. You know what I mean? I'm really looking forward for these wand-making videos. Super excited to see, how you work with the wood and how you color it. What about making 4 wands for the 4 houses of hogwarts? Like, without the animal design but maybe so, that they represent their house. Work a bit with colors or something else. I think that would be cool :) Greetings from germany!

Buen canal

Eh, I think SOME animal heads are more appropriate than others, especially if related to the wand core. Like dragon heartstring

Where did you buy your tie though that looks good.

I don’t know why but when I make a wand I like to start with no idea what I’m going to do I guess because I like to use sticks so I like to start working with no idea what I’m going to do and let the wand and it’s design change and develop over time

hi kivox

What abt lucius Malfoy

any chance we will see a part 3?

How do you put metal on a wand?

The bottom of Newt’s wand was pearl I thought??? Isn’t it supposed to literally be the core showing??

If you think Dumbledore's wand is bad, have you seen Dolores Umbridge's wand?

What would you call a design based on the Elder wand with the "Nuptuals" and all that?

I know I’m very late to the party here but how to you make your wand boxes?

I could imagine u being a wand maker

I want to make a wand with a core that is visible probably dragon heartstrings any suggestions on how to go about that

Love this video 😍😍😍😍

I personally don't like Dumbledore's wand. It seems way too long and it doesn't strike me as ollivander's style of wand. Now, granted I haven't seen FB2 so I am not positive on who made the wand but I assume it's an ollivander piece, but it doesn't seem like something he would make

Being a ravenclaw keeping it simple is kind of hard for me

Mace a wand that represents your favoure

OMG. I litterally found a great wand design from ur ps4 I. The background

When he puts the dumbledore wand out and you push pause, because you want to get yours to watch it in real life xD

Ohhh my god this is what i recommended

Ehem, Tom Valedro’s wand is representing his personality/soul

Link gmail for newwandays

Yet you say Voldemort and Harry’s wand doesn’t contrast with their personality when it really does and the reason why I’m saying this is that if you look at the wands of how they suit their appearance then you will understand that the designing contrast of the wands suits their facial appearance it is the same with most of the wands that the characters have suited their appearance that’s because they were made to design to suit their facial appearance Tbh u should Pay more attention to the movies and proper designs and characters

I want to buy a wand for me !!! Plz help !!!
