There is a lot of very good and informative videos about whipmaking on UA-cam, but this is the best and "easiest-to-follow" instruction I have seen. Thank you
I made this whip white and red call it candy cane. When i use it, it doesn’t roll out neatly preventing it from cracking easily. I believe the problem lies in the rotation from the thong inside the coupling. But i may be mistaken. Maybe the dropping strands wasnt in the right place. Or maybe i made the twist 3 and twist 2 strands before the fall too long. I get 1 good crack after 5 or 6 attempts. When i use my miniature bullwhip that i made it cracks a much higher percentage. Im lost because i believe this should have been a better whip than my bullwhip had much higher hopes don’t know where i messed up
The different start to the twist doesn't make much of a difference as far as I can tell, however Nick is a much better whip maker than me so I would go with his method if you're looking for the best one :) This tutorial is fairly old and I made it quickly in order to fill a gap on UA-cam. I've changed a lot of my construction methods since this came out. Hopefully I'l replace it someday.
Great tutorial! Thank you. Two Questions: Why didn't you use a metal based core (bbs, ball chain, airplane cord, etc. It seems like most builds include them. Is it because of the waxing)? and, Have you made any projects using the inner core that you remove? :)
Great questions! You're right, the waxing removes the need for the BBs because it adds weight to the whip. I like to use wax more than BBs because it's easier and I feel the weight distribution is a little better. But I'm also not a professional maker, and there are tons of really great whips that have BBs in them instead of wax. One of my favourite pairs of whips has BBs in it, actually! I just choose not to use them. Sometimes I will use the inner strings from the paracord to make whip crackers, but that's about it really. My girlfriend likes to use the string for her garden, she uses it to tie up plants and give her peas something to climb.
Just curious I already have 2 orders through family for paracord whip. I want to add another colour do I just replace the two longest strands with a different colour
@@tiramis100 I’m in uk and I can’t find any pvc or cpvc the right size and connectors that fit them. Some professional whip makers have pipes, but they tell me it’s any hardware store, but I still can’t find the right size (width/diameter).
hi there! i absolutely love the video! however i do have one question, i'm trying to get a hold of the nylon paracord, but what is the diameter you've used in the video? is it the same diameter that you would recommend to try it out whipmaking or would you recommend going smaller/larger? Thanks alot!
Hi, great wideo! Do You maybe noteiced points where You drop strands? I saw 52'' only. And also, please tell me if You just fold them a half in the middle or You maybe moved "the middle" a few inches?
I drop my overlay strands two at a time, so I fold them in half in the middle to make sure they drop in the same place. I don't have my notebook with me but when I get home I can let you know the approximate distances where the strands drop.
@@CanadaWhips thanks a lot. I want to drop one strand at a time so I am planing it now. And i see that i planed some drops same as You. I will show You effect.
I filled a 26 inch cord with 23" of bb's, heated the end to close it it or use artificial sinew etter yet, I tied mine onto the line that will make up the handle tie later. I bound my whole loose cords with artificial sinew and that seemed to work well to plait easier without so much dangling stuff. I'm pretty new to this, so I'm still learning andthere might be better ways to do a loose strand core but that's what I did 😂
The most detailed whip tutorial i’ve seen so far. With all the complete lengths provided. Thank you!

Also just finished my first whip! Took about 5 hours start to finish, your video is spot on! Many thanks!
Thankyou for this great tutotrial
Great tutorial took your time with laymen terms and explained everything great job thanks for sharing
Great Video! Great Instruction! Just finished making a set of matching whips following your tutorial; my first ones! Thank you for the great video!!
Ok. This was a really good tutorial. You got yourself a new sub Mr. Canada!
Thanks for a great video, just finished and it cracks great
Is the paracord portion able to fit in a standard Florida cow whip handle?
Muy buen trabajo el suyo con el látigo, gracias por compartir sus conocimientos. Saludos de México.
Fantastic, thanks my northern brother!
Great tutorial! Thanks.
Really nice tutorial!
Awesome video! I love this!!!
Thanks Danny!
Made your whip, it came out great! Thanks!
If i want to make it 2 feet longer, how long should i add to the overlay strands?
Just finished my first orange whip. Tomorrow I wax it and attach

How could I replace the wax with ball chain?
Nick does a different starting to the twist. What's your opinion on the difference

Yea I tried both as well and I am getting very similar results in terms on kinks sort of thing@@CanadaWhips
@@CanadaWhips and omg. I just did what I always dreaded. I was going to cut my last core drop and I cut 1 of 4 remaining main overlay cords ughhh
@@CanadaWhips so now I have an extra long twist hahahaha

I always struggle to find the right size pipe with a connector that fits it. The only ones with smooth connectors are 30mm+

Maravilhoso! ❤
question. What would happen if you don't gut your overlays?
It will be too thick and you'll need an arm of steel to crack it....ask me how I know 😂
Thank you for this great tutorial! is it important that the handle is cpvc or can it be pvc?
Cpvc is better because it's the right size. You would need a different size of PVC
I am from Denmark and I cant find Any cpvc, please do you have a link to buy it online
@@tiramis100 I’m in uk and I can’t find any pvc or cpvc the right size and connectors that fit them. Some professional whip makers have pipes, but they tell me it’s any hardware store, but I still can’t find the right size (width/diameter).
I lost my place while plaiting, any advice?

If I were to add bbs in one of the cords, which one should I put it in, and how should I do it?

Hey Tyler, send me an email through my website and we can work something out
Спасибо!
i want to make a 4ft wihp idk how to tho
lol ive been waxing the fall lo
The body of the whip isn't fitting into the handle properly. Any suggestions on making it thicker? It is too small right now.
Make sure you are using CPVC and not PVC. They are different sizes!
Hmm nail polish. Seems like it could he messy
