OK... ...so, I litterally know nothing about whips. I bought a four plaits, (I guess that is what you call it.)at a horse supply place years back and it was absolute garbage... ...and that is where it wound up... ...in the garbage! I have been practicing to become ambidextrous in everything now for almost 13 years. I do everything that you can think of, from writting to shooting to throwing baseball, etc. So, I wanted to revist the whip idea as I jusy feel that it may help me with improving my left handed baseball throwing. You know, when you throw, your body should move whip like... ...for best efficientcy. So I just felt like maybe I could gain something from working with an actual whip. I found what I think may be a decent whip on Amazon, for $34.99. At least, I can say, it is miles above that first whip that I found at the horse supply place. It is a 8 plait and is 6 ft in length. It is advertized as an Indian Jones Style Bull Whip. It is tan bonded leather and it came with two additional poppers. It is sold by LB's Whip Store. Now the reason why I am posting this info is, that I only briefly watched two very short KZbin video's for help and I only worked with the whip for maybe 15 to 20 minutes and I got the damn thing to crack nicely both left handed and right handed a couple of times using what I learned was the cattlemans move. So, am I currently happy with my purchase, yes. For $34.99 I feel that I may have stumbed upon a decent entey level whip that may get me interested enough to learn more about them and to eventually purchase a good one. Because of todays little success, I will definitely go back out to practice. Hopefully my little post here will help somebody.

As a fellow cracker, I agree with this video.

Did anybody see big foot?

For the db test, you're correct in that an affordable meter won't be at all accurate with such a loud and short sound, however, they will allow you to accurately compare the SPL of one whip to another with a simple accommodation. All you need to do is increase the distance from the sound event to the meter, and the best way to do this is to get far enough away that your meter is reading within a more comfortable range, below 95db if you're using a simple/cheap meter. You won't be able to make exact measurements, only relative measurements, i.e. this whip is louder than the other. It's one of the ways I used to measure the effectiveness of my homemade silencers compared to commercial silencers, and the relative measurements of all the commercial silencers fell in line with their published ratings.

Hi, I am interested in buying a 6ft bullwhip for my son. However, he has very sensitive hearing. I am trying to work out how loud a whip of this type would be. I have watched one of your previous videos on this subject and they all seemed very loud! Any advice would really be appreciated, since there isn't much information availiable.

Do you have a faceplait link for your jokester whip handle pattern?

2:26 I actually have this whip but in black, and with another cracker because the other one was falling apart 😢😢(but the cracker that I attached sounds to loud and don’t need to much strength to crack it and it makes to my ears go deaf for a moment😮😮)

Pergola, not pagoda

I looked up Adam savage tested to see if he showed off your whip and i can't find it 😪

Love it

No audio on this or part 2

I am curious what kind of material you would use to load the paracord other than #9 shot. I don't have access to an ammunition like that where I am. Would fishing sinkers do the trick or would they make an odd bulbous shape?

I finised it today :) It's great need to replace waxed poper... but it still cracks even beter now... :D

Hi good afternoon I wanted to see if you wanna make a bow for me Indiana Jones with a dragon on top

a clean, aerodynamic knot. i plan to try it.

i am listening to this video while making the handle of a stockwhip

Great breakdown! I got that Ardour Crafts whip for $50 for a 4 foot whip, and at that point I feel like it is a decent deal - all your same criticisms apply but now the price more closely matches the quality.

Magnificent

I feel like this is all subjective to person to person

a fair side by side would have had you testing a brand new out of bag whip against the other out of bag whips. but thanks for the review, as biased of course as it must be. :D

I have a horse whip. I dont think I'm gonna buy my first bull whip. I'm gonna make the parachord, bb, and tape whip. With a steel bar in the handle and whatever the best sounding cracker I can come up with is

I found out how to do a volley with a horse whip from the horse feed store and it made my arm sore

I own the Indiana Jones costume whip 😂😂😂

Your ass learn how to use one before you make videos

i found a 170 quid 6 foot 16 plait kangaroo leather whip, would that be a great first whip for someone looking for quality

Also i'm using ruber band for preventing from unraveling and you can just slide it up and down as needed and leve it on all the time while you work or not work. :D Works better then clips for holding.

Man watching whip related content is a first for me lol but after being invested in this amazing content btw I noticed your voice sounds just like the character from Django unchained who was with the hooded k**nsmen who said "I think we all think the mask was a great idea, but... it could have been done better" lol

Hi. Question. Does the length of the Whip have an effect on Loudness ??? Longer=Louder ??? I’m cheap and shorter is less expensive but at the same time I wanna big crack.

TRY A 3 FOOT SNAKE WHIP FOR A WEAPON HARDER TO USE BUT MORE CONCELEABLE

NEED VERY GOOD EYE PROTECTION AND LEARN WITH BOTH ARMS !!!!!

I like the brown leather whip. Those are a lot of work for a cheap price.

Just found your site(bull whip 1;Core)-you are a good teacher. You reminded of a discovery I found many years ago.In trying to slip heat shrink over a rough surface I rub a bit of dry bar soap or slightly dampened over the rough stuff(paracord!), even saliva. That is absorbed and eventually works its way out of the system-never had any slippage or chemical reaction. Thank you again for entertaining instructional videos. Dr. Bill

I like the bullwhip better, if only for aesthetic reasons. I think the plaited grip just looks much nicer.

Great presentation.

great presentation. i immediately made 4 of 69 weight, black, thread, then one of 207 weight red (3ply prior to initial twist resulted in slightly heavier popper. next will be 4 ply of 138 weight. this will add to my determination to set aside time to build a hybrid whip. could you please measure your finished poppers or somehow give me a range to stay within? do different size whips benefit from different size crackers? thanks again for the work giving us this great reference material. (i have studied several books on whipmaking, but video makes it that much easier.

i taught myself to braid using bruce's book, and have studied david's books too. any advice as to what i should attempt to build. teaching myself to build whip and to learn to crack.

Cringe

I love this application. I wonder if it would be possible to build one like a PH whip and house a battery pack inside of the PVC handle. That would eliminate the wrist wrap. It would seem as if you could 6 or 8 AA batteries in the handle. Idk. Just a thought. I would love to have a couple to incorporate into my whip act.

Will you please make me a snake whip 😊

Couldn’t ask for a better video.

You’re in St. Paul ? That’s awesome I’d love to chat with you about making a whip

Great video! I theorize that you might be so accustomed to your your own whip where it may be hard to adjust for each whip and going against your body's muscle memory. Technique might need to be adjusted for each whip. but im no expert, or anywhere near that.

I just cant afford that. Id rathwr learn to make my own.

Where can a person get a quality whip and not an amazon knockoff that i would be disappointed in?

Watching the video and pausing every few minutes to google conversions from Inch (American) to Centimeters (Whole world) helped me find out that 6 foot is not as long as I though

@whipworks4468 You mentioned 3/8” shrink tubing for longer whips at the beginning of the video. Do you shrink that over 2” x 1/4” piece at the transition after wrapping with sinew? If not, would you be willing to share that information?

I just built a simple Florida cracker. I like targeting more than the cracking. I did build a long heavy whip but again I just like messing with a simple thin whip. . I did use it in snow and as my paracord got wet had a little weight added. It is a really fun hobby

i bought an 80 dollar whip based off indiana jones for comic con and im nervous if the look will make my cosplay look cheap
