A Visit From The Whip That Changed My Life - 7 Years Later
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2024
- 7 years ago I uploaded a video tutorial showing the steps taken to make a paracord bullwhip during that time of my life. The video grew to a level that I would have never imaged, and has changed my life. In this video, the whip is sent back to me for a repair. We'll give the whip a tuneup and getting it cracking again.

Very cool! I'm glad sending this whip back for a repair meant to much to you! It certainly is a piece of history and an awesome one at that! It certainly means a lot to me so thanks so much for the shout-outs and giving the whip a much-needed tune up! Seeing it so worn out for so long was so sad so I knew I had to get it out and back to it's former glory! Can't wait to get it back home! -Ryan
You're very welcome, Ryan!
Ich habe sehr viel bei deinen Videos gelernt und seit ich dir folge ca.200 Whips gefertigt. Vielen Dank für alles ✌️
@@NicksWhipShop
Love the video
Few questions
Do ya need to cut the butt inch off or just wrap it?
Could you use whole 550PC rather then gutting it? I know it wouldn't be as flat, but in survival mode ya got a bunch of paracord to unwrap whip if needed.
Thanks in advance for the answers. Love your work.
Easily one of the coolest vids on UA-cam simply for nostalgia and inspiration. Your methods weren't perfect back then, but this is proof they worked and were/ are effective even now. Im in the navy so this is a hobby I don't get to enjoy all of the time whenever I want, but you helped solidify my ease of staying in the hobby. Thank you!
7 years ago i was in college, i barely knew my wife. Basically i was a worries free boy. 7 years later, inside i'm the same boy, but now, with a wife, a 4 yo kid (best thing that ever happend in my life) a full time job, and paying the usual bills. Sometimes i wonder when this big chage happend. It seems that yesterday i was a kid and today just transformed into this grownup....you know?
Nice! I’ve watched the original making of this whip more than once…I’m still dreaming of making my first whip. I’m glad you are still living life in a way that is led by passion.
Nick it's not sad. It was you showing the world who you are. Thank you for letting us in. Love the whips by the way
Thank you, George!!
Just discovered this channel and you’re like the Bob Ross of whip making shhshd love it
That whip changed all of our lives Nick! Great work as always my friend!
Thank you!!
@@NicksWhipShop your welcome!
Nick that whip changed my life
I really appreciate seeing true passion for your whips Nick! Nothing feels better about a weapon than knowing it was made with passion...!!
Thanks for keeping it real. It's the next best thing to meeting you.
Not going to lie Nick, this video made me cry. It brought me back to a very different time in my life. I remember the first time I cracked a whip. I was 12 years old at my grandparents house. I had just finished making it after watching your video and I ran outside to try it. Hearing the crack for the first time was an amazing feeling of accomplishment. Thank you for these videos, they’ve made such a difference in my life as well as many others. I haven’t cracked a whip in years but maybe it’s time to break them out again.

Man that whip. I spent 10 hours straight through the night rewinding section of that video and finally ending with a whip that I was very proud of. I think I was a junior in high school my dad was more than happy to support the hobby. I now have several whips and look forward to making more and collecting more. Look forward to meeting out one day at a meet up or something to thank you personally. Thanks!
That was the video that taught me how to make my first whip!
I modified your whip design with a crown knot after the transition and used it to make floggers as a side hustle. Selling them for $120 to to $210 then reinvesting the profits into the stock market. Thank you.
Nick it is so strange that you just made this video because I was just reacquainted with several whips that had given my dad and my brothers several years ago. Over the weekend I made a trip to North Carolina and it does give you a strange feeling of finding a long lost part of you. Each one is special in it's own way. Thank you for all the memories and the knowledge to make whips of my own to be able to share them with my family.
Thanks for watching, Johnny! Isn't it a great feeling to see them again!? Objects have such a way of serving as time capsules that hold so much meaning and many great memories.
It wasn't a sad video at all. I found it very inspirational. You seem like a good dude, Nick. You care about your products and also your customers, and that shows. When I decide to expand my modest whip collection I'll be in touch.👍🏻👍🏻
Your video from 7 years ago taught me how to make my first whip. I have made one for my son, daughter and myself. So happy for you and the journey you are on.
Thank you my friend!
I really wish if will ever make another Indiana Jones movie, you will make the whips for that! These whips what you made since seven years, i can bravely call them masterpieces! Congratulation!
Thank you!!
Wow man. It's been a whole journey. I was one of the ones that started off that whip and now look where I am lol. ~Jon EagleWhips
Cheers brother! Coming up on one year since we made that colab video. Maybe we can do another soon.
NicksWhipShop yeah man I hope we can! That would be great
Good job getting past the negativity, Nick! And Ryan, congrats on owning a piece of history! I’m jelly!
Heh thanks! It's pretty cool to own it!
I remember watching the bullwhip video about this whip in like 2014 and I wasn’t old enough to have one so I cut the end off of a jump rope and went around Chicago wrapping trees
haha I love it!
I loved this nostalgic vid! So cool to be able to hear you and how much you've grown and what you did like from what you learned in the past. You've inspired me to learn how to do this too. I'm someone who deals with brain injury and some mental health issues. This seems to be a moving meditation. Thank you thank you thank you, Nick!
I used your first video to make a 12ft whip so I could be Indiana Jones for Halloween last year. I've made seven more since then and sold my first last week!
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing!
This is gonna sound generic I know but you remind me of Bob Ross. Especially watching you feed that wasp at the end, very much like when he fed his squirrels and the other animals he had on his show. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Andy!!
I don’t know how serious you were about us sharing our stories , but I’m nearly 70 years old, have been a big country cowboy my whole life and have plenty of stories.
Would love to hear some, Travis!
Mr Travis I'm a 15 year old calf roper and make whips on the side to sell at rodeos, glad that some other cowboys are into whips
He makes good whips. I bought 2 from him about 4 years ago and they are still going strong.
Glad you're still enjoying them, Myles!
Great vid . Very Bob Rossian style
I literally made a whip yesterday using that video. I was super surprised when a follow up video was made in less than 24hrs😂
Thanks for watching Scott! Love it when things like that happen in time!
I just did that two weeks ago :P
Have to admit thanks to that video. I have made 3 whips after that video I learnt alot thanks nick
I learned a lot from this channel very inspiring almost teared up at the end very touching 😂 told the old lady my allergies were bad lol keep up the good work Nick
Heya Nick, I'm following you after this video because I watched you make this whip last night, and today, UA-cam (in all its wisdom) has put this in my feed, and I've got to say - damn nice to see such love from both owner and creator. Ryan got lucky and bought a piece of memorabilia that has inspired many people to want to build their own whip, and from the sounds of it, has helped plenty of people as well. Honestly mate, I think if the whip still lives in 2027 (which I'm almost certain it will) you should offer Ryan a free repair and make a third video for us. Ryan invested in a product of a novice that helped develop a master. You make such passionate and informative videos that I now believe my life won't be complete until I at least attempt to build my own whip. Your calm and cool approach along with your positive attitude is probably the reason why I can watch a one and a half hour movie with no action in it at all, and not even be mad about it.
We love your work mate, thanks for taking us with you.
I have no interest in bull whips. I was recommended to see the first video because I wanted to learn a few paracord knots. The first video was great to watch, and this one was heartfelt. You're doing a great job, it's awesome to learn new things. Props on your success
Very cool, Nick. Thanks! And thanks to Ryan for caring for it, and sharing, as well. Nicely done.
Thanks Scott!
Oh for sure! It's of my favorite things I own!
Good stuff my whip making brother!
Thank you!
You are honestly so underrated, you deserve to be known by so many more people, your work and videos are so amazing, keep it up🙌
Thank you Tiaan!
Yo I just watched that vid...first CID I ever seen from you...this is the 3rd lol ..really liking your channel
Awesome video! Not sad at all, just somber maybe. Really enjoyed it!
Your channel is way to under rated
Thanks Charles!
Really needed this video and that video you are referring to I used and watched it daily
Cheers Nivk from Calgary up in Canada. I've been watching your vids for a while and finally sub'd. Great instructions for the new makers, i haven't tried to make 1 yet. Its funny, i remember you saying on anouther youtubers channel that you were going to be 1 of only a few people to watch the 3+ hour long video but i to have watched a number of long vids aswell. Good stuff man, winter has hit us so i have alot of time . Thanks. Oh crap i just made it sound like i'm 90 lol only 50
Thanks for all the Great videos. 👍🏻❤️👍🏻
Thanks, you're very welcome!
This is like if Bob Ross made a bull whip tutorial.
Thnx Knick, great job this is relaxing! 😎
Nick, your videos inspired me to get into whip making.
Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge, and new techniques through the years.
Keep them coming.
Thanks for following all these years, Tommy! More videos to come.
Really enjoyed the video Nick! Reminded me of a summer many years ago, following along to your first video and trying to make my own whip. The nostalgia tends to be bittersweet, but we look forward to many more videos and memories to come. Thanks mate!
Thanks for your thoughts, Andy! More vids on the way!
I've probably watch that original video about 20 times and made and sold many whips thanks to the skills it has taught me. Recently I haven't made a whip maybe a year but this video had relight that light in me that loves making whips. Also make whips did help me get though so hard times too, so thanks for helping me get though those times too.
Thanks for that info, Brick! Glad the videos have helped you, more to come!
Such a wholesome video.
Thank you!
This is great, thank you!
Thanks Sean!
Great video Nick
Thanks!
Im one of those great people. Thank you Nick
When i first learned to weave from your first tutorial back in early 2019 i was mad at myself for not skipping to your 2018 tutorial. Now that ive been at it a year and a half im glad i started there as it allowed my learning curve to be sharper than it would have been if i hadnt been walked through some minor faux paus with such confidence. Watching the 2018 tutorial for my second whip saw so much improvement to my work that i was inspired to keep honing my skills. Once i was comfortable with the quality of my work i started selling them. Now i sell whips as one of my forms of income
Thanks for the feedback! That is exactly the reason that I recommend starting with original build video. Thanks for watching, and more videos to come!
Oh man seeing that whip gives me some flashbacks Your tutorial has been very helpful to me in my whip making over the years. I still find myself going back to that original video when i get stuck
Thanks for the feedback, and I appreciate you watching all these years!
more to come!
Your very talanted. I love your videos
Thanks Joseph!
Hey Nick, don't mind being emotional about that whip. It is good to see a nice fellow who appreciates his own journey, without being boastful about it. I also started to experiment and make my own whips because of your video, like many others. I am trying to adapt it to the Hungarian way of whipmaking and - besides the curses due to some unavoidable failures of a beginner - I really have fun all the while. It became a new hobby and joy, for which I'd like to thank you. (You have a great voice for your own commentary, if you ask me, kind of a relaxing tone. Keep it up!) All the best!
Thanks so much, Csaba! I appreciate your kind words, and you sharing your story of how you became interested in whipmaking. I'm glad you enjoy the videos, and I have many more on the way!
The families of Indiana Jones and Trevor Belmont thank you.
I really enjoy your videos. I would love to see you do a video of a Florida cow whip start to finish
Nick, I guess we are kindred spirits. I relate to your sentimental ways and respect them greatly. I also very much appreciate what I have already learned from you regarding whips, and I am just getting started watching your years of videos. I have some good watching in store for me. I have yet to finish my first whip, though I have braided and unbraided it a couple of times now. It is, in fact, based on Adam W.'s whip he made in your video with him. Keep cracking! (p.s. - I relate to your feeding that hornet as well....my grandfather used to say its easy to crush one, but did you ever try making one?) - peace
I made my first whip from watching your video last week.. It turned out amazing... I'm definitely a beginner, but I've got the (Whipping Bug) i suppose i could call it.. lol.
I actually made my 2nd whip yesterday ( tri-color) by using later methods with such as sports tape and binding string... It turned out great aswell...
Hat's off to you for being the best tutorial instructor on youtube, I really enjoy all of the videos.
Thanks so much for watching, and for the kind words! More videos to come!
Awesome
Can you please do a tutorial on Adams’s 275 cord stock whips that would be awesome! Thank you
Great suggestion! Probably will at some point in the near future.
Or a whip makers cord stockwhip , either one would be great
the Bob Ross of whip making, "happy little whips".
LOL! That is EXACTLY what I was thinking! I loved Mr. Ross, a true icon.....Nick, you are in good company.
Thank you guys!
this is amazing nick, you have inspired me to start this hobby. a few years ago i thought it was to much for me to handle even though i work on engines, but it seemed to complicated. well i went back to it and watched several of your videos i took on the project, i planned on making one for my brother for this christmas. well it turned out absolutley amazing and after i posted it on my facebook , my cousin wanted one for himself and his dad who rides horseback still brining in cattle, he had to have one for his dad. now i have 2 more orders from friends on facebook, who knows where this will take me. thanks again. also have you noticed that alot of whip makers are great with video and phtography, specifically that crazy character who is half actor half whipman lol. anyways to how far you have come is great and to see your passion on this is amazing. thanks again from edmonton alberta
Thank you Derek! Congrats on your orders! I'm glad the videos have inspired you and helped you start making whips. It's a very fulfilling craft, enjoy! More videos to come.
@@NicksWhipShop thank you for the quick reply. I appreciate that. I've always wanted to ask you a couple questions what would be the best way to do so?
@@NicksWhipShop id love to show you a picture of my first whip
@@NicksWhipShop I'll post it on my channel
Do you wax your fall as well@@NicksWhipShop
Hi Nick! I started uploading videos on UA-cam this year. And I never thought that my simple unprofessional bullwhip making video got the best respons on my channel. I don't know, but I think I Will keep my whip save. Maybe 7 years from now, something interesting will happen to me.
Greetings from Indonesia
As someone named ryan, this video was... very personal lol
Made my first and only whip from that vid
Спасибо
Добро пожаловать!
Hey Ryan!
*_waves hello enthusiastically_*
Yeeeeeeeeee
cheeeeers mate!!!
Hey Nick! Just to let you know I was looking at your website and the 24 plait bullwhip section says “the finer strand sizes allow....” I’m guessing it was supposed to say thinner
@3:34 did you catch that?!! Hit the water just right and vaporized the water!!!
I'm in florida and on humid days you can see the water in the air just puff into existence with a good crack
Hey nick.... good video... its good to look back huh.... I made my first whip from your video 3 years ago. I've probably made 25 whips by now. Sold quite a few. Made a few 3 belly and overlay whips. Those are alot of work and heavy but they crack great. Good workout. Anyway thank you for all your whip videos. I would sit in the basement for hours working on a whip. My girlfriend would come down and give me crap." Dont you ever want to spend time with me". All you do is work on these dumb whips she would say. I would say its nicks fault. Haha
Haha!! Thanks for sharing, Steve! Glad the videos have been helpful.
Question, why can’t I fit bb’s into the 3/8 sinker cord I bought from the paracord store?
What kind of wax did you use?
Do you have a video on the channel of making a scarf Making Method 2018 how many feet was the root of the whip this is the very first metal handle and is wearing a paracord with balls?
Hey nick , would you ever consider makeing a 8ft whip with leather ?
I would love to have one of your whips to go with my pew pew collection, but it would have to be an Indy whip!
Would love to build one for you!
@@NicksWhipShop I'll surely get in touch with you in a couple of months to have it built.
Yo! Hey Nick!!
Hi!
Nick just a little random thought and you have probably heard this before. But dude you look like John Snow.
Can you please tell me, for example, do you lay the first layer of weaving with a 5 foot thread, do you make the thread along the floors, or should there be 5 feet on each side, that is, the handle of the whip should be 5 feet on both the right and left sides? Or is one thread of 5 feet taken and divided in half?
Hi, all strands are folded in half. If a strand is for example 10ft, then it is folded and there are 5 feet on the left and 5ft on the right.
@@NicksWhipShop Do you have a video on the channel of making a scarf Making Method 2018 how many feet was the root of the whip this is the very first metal handle and is wearing a paracord with balls?

there the whip was brown with a black Turkish head
Very interesting vidwo. Unrelated, I have watched many of your videos and on one of them, I saw some links to Amazon where you may receive some compensation on my order if I click through to place an order. I can't seem to find those links --- and I would like to --- because you have inspired me to try and make a whip. Something I have always wanted to do ( ever since I acquired the book from Ron Edwards on whip making. Can't justify the cost of kangaroo hide but can afford paracord.
Thanks for watching David! I appreciate the feedback on the links and will look into them.
How many degrees Celsius does the wax haveto be at before you dip your whip thankyou
Hi, about 85 to 100 C.
@@NicksWhipShop okay I will be building the 12ft 3 bellied whip that you made waiting for material
The video your talking about Nick. Is it the video Caliber Whips did on E-tape in whips?
Nope, it wasn't Connor.
@@NicksWhipShop then who? If I may ask.
Hey nick just made the 6 foot bullwhip from one of your recent videos and oh boy I'm having a blast with it!! I can send some pictures of it on Instagram if you like,
Connor
Glad to hear that Connor! Yes please do!
@@NicksWhipShop got em sent my user name is the same as my youtube one👍
Hey, have you ever thought about streaming? It’d be a good way to interact with your community while your make long form videos
I definitely have considered it. Might do some streams this winter.
0:40 a deadly weapon??? wtf yea a whip hurts like hell but a damn leash is just as dangerous those people are stupid dont listen to em also keep up the great work
Seriously. Yes, some people historically have died from lashing with a cat o Ninetails, but I don't know that anyone's ever died from a whip who wouldn't have died by some other means had a whip not been handy. Usually a sword. We're talking Roman Empire. As weapons go, whips are REALLY inefficient.
First like and comment are from me, babe.
Thr robin is my states bird
How are we spouse to share contint with you
... I watched that when it was new and was like I wana make a good whip.. I wonder if there any videos on YT.. o look there's one a week old...
... I can't believe that was 7 years ago make that 8...
Time flys...
Can we send you whips to be repaired
I do offer repairs on all whips purchased through NWS. If you have a whip that's needing repair, feel free to send some photos to my email and we'll go from there!
People complaining about the so-called deadly weapon are probably drug addicts😅😅😅
Enjoy your youth because the next twenty years of your life is already gone, you just don't know it yet!
Constant thoughts of these types of things keep me up at night a lot, but it is very true and I'm trying my best to just be thankful for the great childhood that I was privileged to have, move on, and make the best of every moment from here on out. Thanks for watching, and for your thoughts!
Do you answer dm on Instagram?
I answer when I can, but there are quite a few every day.
