- In this video, we'll do a little reminiscing as we dig through the "whip graveyard". Then, we'll sit down and discuss three of the most likely reasons why heel knots will sometimes slide off of the foundation.

Very nice video. I have made a few such knots, but there is always nuance to be picked up.
May be my favorite video so far!
That whip is gorgeous!
Nick, my my name is Dale, I'm retired, HVAC tech,18 years. Replace my hip in 2010. Anyway, I've been looking for a new hobby lately and found your videos on bullwhips. I now have a new found interest and am absolutely in love with whip making. Just wanted to let you know that your tutorials are awesome, your professional and very good, i think the best at teaching beginners like me this trade. Will keep in touch and will encourage others to watch your videos. Can you make a video on leather plating 16....20.....24 plating? PLEASE! Thanks again.
Just started making whips a few months ago after watching your vids and I already have a small graveyard of bad idea whips
Nick... love your videos -- they have been very helpful to me when making my own whips. I would be interested in seeing a video of you describing what has worked and not worked for you over the years; e.g., the kinds of tape, the number of BB's, the kinds/sizes of paracord, etc...
Thanks Nick for making another awesome video. Great tips.
Great video Nick! I've had this issue on one of my whips but now I have a solution thanks!
Great video Nick! I love the intro.
Hey Nick, again thank you very much for the video! Always comprehensive and precise! I used to build the hell knot on a sinew layer. OMG!
I haven't tried my hand at making my first whip (yet), but I am extremely interested in learning to braid handle covers for the martial arts weapons which I make. Heel knots look like they're only a little harder than they seem, but in reality there's a TON of practice required to get a symmetrical cloth pommel.
It's surely a greater challenge than I anticipated, but I'm sure I'll get it down eventually. Learning to avoid adhesive-on-wood has got to be the biggest part of the challenge for me - you weavers have a lot of hidden tricks.
Great video as always, and full of awesome tips. I'd really love to see you remake the "pocket snake whip". I'd absolutely love to make one like that.
It Was my first try to whipmaking.... And i glued it in a bamboo to make a kind of hybrid whip and make it more crackable lol he IS made out with low cost polypropylène paracord black blue and red IS ugly have kink but it's m'y first so i love it lol
Thank you my beautiful friend. Really enjoyed the video. Can you make a more detailed video on this knot and others?
Hey Nick if I can make a suggestion magnetic tape is a great material for making heel knot foundations. Most whips are thong heavy and I found that adding a little bit of weight to the heel, levels out the whips weight.
I'm not a whip-maker, but just a knotter, nevertheless, I enjoyed the video very much. Thanks for sharing.
I recently discovered your channel and have tried to catch up on your process and tips. Really appreciate your production value, demeanor, and willingness to share so much hard earned knowledge. Hope to make my first whip soon! Is the 3mm whipmakers cord ok to use for a beginner?
The same when you think about time you sort of miss it and wish you could go back to that time
thanks
I have seen some makers that tie off the two ending strands of the turk's head knot into a tidy little bow at the end, (usually a figure 8 flat knot) melting it slightly so it won't unravel, I wonder why you don't practice this? Any thoughts?
Hello from florida
Hey, your still making tutorials. Great! I'm just now working on my first whip using your videos.
Could you make more videos focused on "troubleshooting" like this? Thanks!
Sure!
Hello Nick.
Any chance of a cow whip video now that you have wood turning skills.
I would love to see a detailed video on Turks head knots!
LOL I've only ever made two stock whips my first one before I could find any tutorial on it I essentially made a bull whip without a handle and attached it to a broken pool stick and the second one funny enough was made on a golf club handle
No shame in that Jamie! Lots of whipmakers including myself have done the same.Thanks for watching!
can’t wait to see the new tutorial , on how you make a bull whip
👍
Hey nick can you recommend a good video to tie a turks head knot
Hi Wyatt, this one should be pretty good, but if you want something a little more detailed, check this out. ua-cam.com/video/h__-wnf_iKQ/v-deo.html
I thought I was the only one who crammed all my old projects in one big box
I call it my nostalgia box
Now can you burn the ends and hide the burned part?
Nick do you make whips to sell?
I do! Please visit nickswhipshop.com.
Look at you from 2012. 😄
Doe he reply to the first?
Yes!
NicksWhipShop remember me from an Indianapolis whip meet a few years ago? My names Lucky.
I sure do! How have you been Lucky?
NicksWhipShop been great! Working on four corners variations and working on fancy plaiting.
We all know that face when you're knot is starting to slide off...
This UA-cam update is stupid. I don't like where they moved the comment section
