I just watched the video on making a Paracord Whip. I had no interest in making a whip before today. I stayed awake far to late and will get 4.5 hours of sleep. But it was worth it! I think I can do this! Wish me luck!
Hey Nick, Thanks for the tutorial! I guess, somehow, I just knew you were about to put out a video of exactly that pattern I was asking about a few days ago. I'll have to send you a pic when I finish up this whip I'm on.
I have made only three whips so far, and I already have a system for keeping the strand untangled, and its so simple. I place a chair to each side of the vice, about 2 foot away, with the back of the chair. Each pass all the strands to the right get "left" over the right chair back, and all the strands to the to the left get pulled over the back of the left chair back. This forces you to unfurl the strand on each pull, and also, there is more distance for them to fall to the floor, and there is less length for them to tangle by. On the 16 plait, I also separate the "up" strands from the "down" strands on each side, and this makes pulling the left easy to do because now you have a free hand to wrap the strands into the "down" position when you pull the new strand over them.
well done your weve is so tight i have only been trying for a month or so but made my first one finished it today thankyou for the video to fallow well done sr!
Hello. I have a question. please notice this comment . So i've been doing this pattern and i may have encountered a problem. I followed the 16plait to 14 plait easily and was doing under 4 over 3 when i transitioned to 14 plait. But when i transitioned to 12 plait from 14 plait i was doing under over 2 then so on and so fort and i ended up messing my pattern. Please help? Or am i doing this right? Cause i know it felt wrong when i reached under 4 over 1.
Awesome color combo. I really like the acid blue. This was the pattern i used for the first whip i made over two years ago using your tutorial video. Where do you buy your cord (and sinker cord)?
Quick quetion, if iam doing a hybrid whip where it goes into the pvc opening do i just need to make sure when i first start that my 2 paracords of the same colour are side by side? iam not doing a braided handle transition like that
@@NicksWhipShop okay I watched that video as well. That's what I was thinking but I was keeping the know in the back. I bring my cords from the back and do that main overlap before I start plaiting. So just make sure the two colours are on top of each other on 1 side.
I think I see where I went wrong on my first 2 whips,I wasn't pulling AS I was weaving,I only pulled AFTER weaving a few strands(all the strands of course) I'm going to do it right on the next couple I make
The sinker cord you use, if I were to use 1/4" instead of 3/8" how would it affect the shot loading process. I love watching you videos and I have made 2 whips with your process and I want to upgrade the way I make them.
Hey nick I was wondering if doubling the strand lengths from your 6 foot lesson would work for a 12 foot whip or would the lengths need to be different??
Hey Nick! In the video you said the two colors are Acid blue and Gold... but this the gold one looks more like a dirty stone color or something. The used look, lookes awesome. What cord is it exactly?
Sweet pattern. I had a whip just ready for the cover and started on this pattern tonight. I'm doing black with red for the 2 stands. I did have a question. when I drop 2 strands I always get loose plaiting on the back side for a couple inches. how do I keep the plaiting tight after dropping strans? thanks for all your tutorials!
hey Nick I'm working on a paracord snake whip. 4 foot long 12 plait. I'm currently on my 2nd belly using 6 plait but I'm having trouble with gaps in between my strands. Do you think the gaps will be fixed when I roll the whip out on the floor. Any advice?
hi could you make a whip without the handle so you would have to attach one please i can't find a video like that and it would be very helpful thanks 😊
hey nick, you said this whip was overlayed with gold? Is it my eyes or did the wax change the color of the gold to a grey silver? i recently waxed a blue grey and black whip but the grey went 3 times darker the moment it hit the wax. if that's what happened im glad it did, looks great!!! my grey mishap didn't work out so well. my lord does it crack tho=)
It’s crazy to know that he makes his victims watch him film these tutorials while making the very instrument he uses to torture and murder them. Great Craftsmanship as always!
hey Nick, i have a suggestion. instead of cutting the four longest strands separately and then joining together the two pairs of different colors, how about this: cut a single length (eg 29'+24'= 53' - from the list of overlay strands in this video) of one color, and a single length (eg 29'+22'= 42') of the other color and then tie them together (with a single reef knot) 29' from the ends of both lengths. this can be done will all or any set of four strands. you can use a box knot if you want the colors to alternate, and you can adjust which ends to measure from to switch the drop order. (you could also use 29'+29'=58' & 24'+22'=46' joined at 29' & 22' from the ends, respectively if you want the longest ones to be the same color)
Wow! That's beautiful. A lot of damn work though. Lol. I just wanted to make a whip ro hang from my harley handlebars! I dont think I really need all them layers. Do you??
Howdy Nick, Great job on this video. Great color selection. The two links in the description are dead links. Also could you consider doing an in depth tutorial on rolling out a whip. I have real issue with rolling out the smallest part of the overlay. Keep up the great work.John
OK, thanks so much for the reply. I bought already waxed dacron material, that actually sticks on itself. Makes it much easier to handle. I believe it is originally used for tying together cable harnesses in the aircraft industry.
well I thought I had made my last whip, but the way that blue pops with the gold has inspired me=), thanks nick. btw did you get the pic of my American flag whip?
Where do you buy your paracord? I've been looking for a cheap-but still good quality-source for a while but it seems like every place has about the same prices.
Also, I've been noticing that my plaiting looks great and really tight on the front, but the back is looser and not as tight. The "v's" seem too obtuse. Rolling helps a bit but I don't know how to get it more symmetrical. Any tips? Thanks!
CademanProductions I had the same problem when I made my first whip. in my case it was caused by my pulling the platte tight horizontal to the core instead of pulling it toward the backside. once I focused on pulling the strands towards the back side as if I was going to wrap them around instead of just pulling out to the left and right the pattern straightened out.
CademanProductions , you need to pull back and around the previous belly and or core. say if your whip is in a vice horizontal to the floor. you'll want to pull down towards the floor and back towards the heel of the whip at the same time, or back around the whip and towards the heel if you have the whip at an angle. another way to envision how to do it is if you grab your cords right up against the thong and roll your hands around and towards the heel with your hands crossing slightly on the back side.
Hello Nick! So I made my first whip, with electrical tape binding, about a month ago, and that one turn out well. I showed it to a few of my friends, and one said he'd pay me to make one. So I made his (6' 16 plait), but I used sinew and nylon tread to bind it, as well as the floor mat stuff to strengthen the transition. It turned out great! Now I'm thinking about making another, but this time I want to make a 12' 16 or 18 plait bull whip. The problem is that; I don't know the lengths for the strands. I've seen your conversion video from a couple years ago, but it's only for 12 plait. I've also gone to your site and looked at strand length, but they are hard to understand, having more than 8 strand lengths in a 16 plait overlay and being staggered in a weird way. I love your videos and I'd love if you could help me with this predicament.
Hi Max, if you're viewing on a mobile device that will happen. Try these. 12ft, 16 Plait Bullwhip (Assuming 10" Handle) FIRST BELLY: SECOND BELLY: OVERLAY: 2 x 12 ft 2 x 26.5 ft 2 x 42 ft 1 x 10.5 ft 1 x 23 ft 1 x 35 ft 1 x 7.5 ft 1 x 18 ft 1 x 28 ft 1 x 12 ft 1 x 26 ft 1 x 21 ft 1 x 18 ft 1 x 12 ft
hey there nick,I saw your whip making vids a yr ago & decided to give it a try,I've successfully made 2 nylon whips now which I've had nothing but gd comments on,I live in new Zealand and there is a market for whips here in the cattle industry which is huge here,I would be interested in sending u 1 of my whips in the hope u could give me some feed back on my quality,failing that maybe a chat or video call about techniques
Hey there nick,thank u for replying to my message, just to let u know ive learnt everything to do with whips from your posts on UA-cam,your a magic person for sharing your knowledge with the world.I'm in the process of making a video for u with all my questions and examples of my mistakes so u can sit & enjoy at your leisure!! (Hahaha)if your have a Facebook page or on Skype we maybe able to sit down & have a chat about things,thank u for your time, simon.
lol sponteous knot tying, my biggest pain is trying to unwrap my brand new paracord without knotting it, and god my thumbs are getting sore from wrapping my bellies
@@NicksWhipShop also the video you did on the repair of your first whip was really awesome. To see it come back after 7 years would he pretty emotional
hola, soy de Argentina me gustan mucho tus videos pero m gustaria que hagas uno en español, porque no entiendo ingles, por ahi podrias subtitularlo, bueno saludos !
The thickness of handle must be perfect for plating to fit all the way around evenly ,no bigger than ? Around for 12 plat my whip is bigger around then tapers 12 don't work for for big stuff,I need I imagine 18 plat for 1 1/2 handle,just buy a 400 dollar whip and no messing around,unless you are in jail,whip making sucks ,too much trail and error,never get a perfect whip,if ya do it won't last carry long
AFTER 7 BULLWHIPS I FINALLY MADE THE CORRECT BULLWHIP WITH YOUR VIDEO. THANKS SO MUCH.
Seven practice runs. Thanks for the info. I was wondering how many attempts I will have to go through before I can let people see my work.
i was so frustrated with my scissors i went out and bought fiskas after seeing adam winwrich in your video make awesome cuts with the fiskas
Just make sure to sharpen them frequently! They get dull way fast cutting paracord. I have to sharpen twice a week!
@@NicksWhipShop oh perfect I have sharpening stones from my folded steel kitchen knife hobby I got into couple years ago lol

Thanks for watching Frank! Always love to see video responses of whips made from the videos. Hope it goes well!
I've started my first whip yesterday and your tutorials have bin awesome i couldn't have even begun without them thank you.
awesome pattern and colour choice. thanks for the tutorials, I'm working on my first whip at the moment thanks to you
Thanks for watching!
I found this video very interesting even if I don't end up making my own whip. Keep it up!
Great looking whip

Pretty much, but I'd tie them in a knot and start from the knot. It's hard to explain, but I'll do a video soon. It is very similar to a stockwhip.
@@NicksWhipShop okay I watched that video as well. That's what I was thinking but I was keeping the know in the back. I bring my cords from the back and do that main overlap before I start plaiting. So just make sure the two colours are on top of each other on 1 side.

When I said loose strans I meant small gaps in the strans.
Nice Pattern. Have you been practicing with the stockwhips?
Hi Lucky, yes I sure have been! Maybe at the next whip meet I'll be able to keep up with you and Leo for a few seconds! :)

you are absolutely correct Sidney! Some paracords don't take on wax well, and sometimes the darker colors are known to get extremely dark after a wax.
Is it possible to do the diamond plait all the to the end?
Hey nick I'm going to making a whip like this for a friend and I was wondering if both blue strands are 29ft or are they different lengths?
Thanks Nick always great..
It’s crazy to know that he makes his victims watch him film these tutorials while making the very instrument he uses to torture and murder them. Great Craftsmanship as always!
great Nick
nice man! miss talking to ya!
From where to where do you measure a whip?
I would like to purchase a beginners whip.You have made some awesome whips.
Thanks George! I recommend a 6ft whip with a 10" handle. you can order here. www.nickswhipshhop.com.
Thank you for answering me back . What is the price?

I don't see any artificial sinew... Did your drop it in favour of waxed dacron?
And also: The paracord is gutted, right?
always gutted
sensorpixel he uses black dacron thread now
Hi, the artificial sinew was black, so that might be why is was difficult to see. yes, all paracord is gutted.
OK, thanks so much for the reply. I bought already waxed dacron material, that actually sticks on itself. Makes it much easier to handle. I believe it is originally used for tying together cable harnesses in the aircraft industry.

Enjoy Sidney! I will look for it. Is it on facebook or email?
NicksWhipShop I don't do Facebook myself, where can I find your email?
When you drop tge strand you just tuck it under?
I think he's just plaiting over it with the remaining strands.

How "2 stands" is really 16 strands.
Correct. Although the whip is 16 plait, the spiral pattern consists of the 2 strands.
