Love and made whips from your show. Here’s a little thing you may or may not want to add, I epoxy thick leather to my Vice grips, I only use it for whips. Have a great year brother!!!!
Been subscribed for three years now, you do amazing work very informative 🤔 and to be honest the chit chat in the calm tone keeps me from getting frustrated when I'm following along and I make a mistake 😏 love the tutorials 💯 A+
Man that is awesome really appreciate the info I have enjoyed making lanyards and different types of those but moving up to the whip making. It’s a nice change of pace and everything kind of translates over so haven’t had much trouble so far definitely going to try this style looks amazing. You’re very crafted at your talent.
Thanks for this amazing video! 🙂👍 I love learning how to plait different patterns and colours. Hope to see more of this too. Thanks again I really appreciate the sharing if your skills and knowledge and the hard work you put into each and every video. 🙂👍
Cool .ya i just did a turks head like that also by accident. . I was short on the 2nd pass so i had to change strands twice. So i went black ,glow green, and back to black. Looks cool.
Hi Nick, in your next video could you give some tips on strand lengths? I my whips I have issues with my strands being to short. Are the lengths after the strands are folded in half?
great video... been following for a while now... i don't regret ever watching your videos. great stuff. great work. by the way, is there any way we can get that song playing in the video? also can you make a tutorial for a 10 foot bullwhip? i have been looking for a week or so now but have found nothing yet. unless you already have a tutorial and i have not seen it yet? anyway, just thought i'd ask. again, great work. love the content
The nice thing about using three strands as one,you move down the handle a lot faster! I’d really like to see how you finish it once you get your handle covered. Do you just bind it and cut it off with a razor knife? Thanks Nick!
Hi Nick. Thanks for all your instructional videos. Can you recommend a place where I can get a good quality kangaroo leather hides from to make whips? I reside in Los Angeles, California. Thank you so much!
I put a couple mirrors where I'm working 1 helps me see what the backside looks like the whole time, and the other provides me with a side view. Now I don't go to far before I see a problem and end up needing to redo a lot.
HI DEAR NICK WHIP i have a question for you i am a begginer in the bull whip making and im having problems to have an exact measurement for cut he string s to start to bride the whip if im bulding a whip fro 12 ft how long i have to cut the strings?? maybe you say before but im foregan and my english is not so good XD
I made my own snake whip from his video titled "Current Snake Whip Making Method 2018" a while back using gutted 550 cord. If you follow his method from that tutorial utilizing whipmaker's cord then you'd most likely end up with a nicely proportioned 3ft 16 plait snake whip. I would cut my strands a little longer but follow the strand drops at the recommended measurement just to be sure the difference in paracord width doesn't leave you short on your strands or making a much longer whip than you wanted. Cord is cheap and you can always use the excess for other stuff like heel knots or whatever. One of these days I'll probably revisit that whip and do the same myself. When I made my whip, rather than binding the heel and cutting off the excess, I decided from the start to replace the heel knot with a 1.25" ball bearing instead so there would be some counterweight to the whip. I tied a 56 facet globe knot around the bearing and threaded each strand of the belly and overlay through the bottom strands of the globe knot and plaited as usual. It's a great whip and has a powerful crack for its length, but it's definitely chonky and the ball bearing made a big difference countering all that whip mass (plus, you can flip it around and use the ball bearing like a slungshot if the cracker is having no effect). I've waxed all of my whips except for that one, because it absolutely doesn't need more mass...it's heavy enough. Point being, if you follow that tutorial exactly with 550 cord, you'll probably end up with a snake whip that's thicker and more nose heavy than it really should be, and it doesn't really pack down as well as an ordinary 3ft snake whip either...but it would be a great candidate to replicate in whipmaker's cord.
@nickswhipshop the links for whip making supplies on your website are dead. Would you or anyone be able to tell me where you get your ferrules from or do you make them yourself?
I enjoy your rambling makes it feel like you’re talking to me personally
Trying to hit a falling water droplet? That's a good one. Love the vidios!
Very nice looking whip 😊😊
Another great video, Nick! Will try this technique next time I go home...cheers and looking forward to the next video🙂
thank you Nick!
When's your next video coming out?

I've been doing this with my turks heads but that sure is a nice accent to the handle as well.

Can you show we more patterns that go all the way down the whip
Is your second channel Wendigoon?

Nick have you ever tried the Hungarian ringed bull whip? (karikás ostor) I wonder is there any difference when you cracking.
Nick can you please make a tutorial for a 3 foot snake whip in whip makers cord?

Why not use CA Glue?
yo Nick, do you make cow whips by any chance? and if so, I would love to see a video on the topic.
BTW, I love your podcast, and love to listen to it while work on whips. keep up the good work!👍👍
@nickswhipshop the links for whip making supplies on your website are dead.
Would you or anyone be able to tell me where you get your ferrules from or do you make them yourself?
Google Texas knife makers supply. The ferrels are in the cane making.
Why didn't you take 2 sets of strands around the handle and put the other 2 under the first set?
lol you’re awesome
Reminds me of Deadpool
*runs screaming into the night..... 😆😆
