Duct Tape Indiana Jones Cosplay Whip DIY / Simple Duct Tape Bullwhip Tutorial!

[@TheInvisibleCactusYT]

My cousin made an Indiana Jones cosplay literally just 3 weeks ago and the only thing he didn’t have was a whip, I just shared this video with him and he’s very impressed that you thought to use duct tape.

[@LostWax]

Nice, perfect finishing touch!

[@msvsalt]

Fantastic! Not only is the prop very impressive, (I can't believe you got the crack effect to work on duct tape) but your self control to only reference Devo once was equally amazing.

[@LostWax]

It did take a lot of self control.... that song was going through my head the whole time I was editing 😁

[@Metqa]

I have absolutely NO Use for this build, and yet I want to make one. Great Video! You always make them so easy looking and your instructions so incremental. That is much appreciated.

[@LostWax]

Yep, sometimes it's fun just to make something. Even if there's no good reason for it:)

[@crumbyk7798]

Very nice look and good cracking. I would recommend adding a gutted 550 cord lace filled with BB’s to give it more weight and better functionality

[@CommHawk]

When I was making the handle for my Qrow sword costume, I used a similar technique! If you prepare the duck tape strips a little differently they'll never unravel. Instead of doing one long strip you do each one individually. Start with a strip the size and cut in the shape you want. Put another strip on the non-sticky side and trim the edges close to the first stip. You want it far enough away to fold over but not so far as to cover all of the sticky side of the first strip. Fold the edges of the second strip over the first and you're good to go! This will make it easier to braid because the edges will slide over each other and stay in place once you press them down. You also don't get those white outlines on the edges!

[@LostWax]

That makes sense, a bit more work, but it would give a nice result! Thanks for sharing the idea!

[@COEYRN]

Chris how are your videos so vivid. Watching your videos is like watching an actual movie. My kids STILL! play with the Jack Sparrow guns, its been 4 years. Im also proud to say with your videos, those bad boys are still in one piece. Except the trigger. Lol. I fixed it twice and said thats it. 😅 Plus working on those guns I realized how much I missed making things. So I have continued to make, and fix and referbish. I owe this to you, Thank You.

[@LostWax]

Awww, wow, thanks so much for taking the time to share this with me. Funny, the more I do this, the more I realize how good it is for our souls when we use our hands and create -and there are so many different ways to do that. I love hearing that you are choosing to make it a part of your life. Take care and keep making:)

[@DrPandemonium]

Nice one Chris! Your whip really looks the part and I was very impressed with the cracks you’re able to produce. It was good to have the speed warning for the tip (just in case of detachment), people forget the whip was the first supersonic weapon.

[@LostWax]

So true!!

[@DanGiesbrecht]

Whip it! Whip it good! Awesome video Chris!

[@LostWax]

Thanks Dan!

[@Randomona]

Looks and sounds great! Was nice to see the whip cracking progress 😁

[@LostWax]

Yeah, I've never cracked a whip before, and didn't understand why people would find it fun, but I actually really enjoyed it. Would have been better if I wasn't wearing an insulated vinyl jacket in the hot summer sun tho.....

[@Randomona]

@@LostWax it did actually look fun! Yeah, how does Indiana Jones not get hot?

[@LostWax]

@@Randomona indeed:)

[@Tripswitch1000]

Another brilliant video with such clear instructions on the build. I'm not in to the Indiana Jones franchise but strangely want to make this and dress up as him!

[@LostWax]

Thank you so much!!

[@lourdeschinchilla815]

Amazing costume! Indiana Jones would be amaze and proud 🧐👏🏻 Thanks for this tutorial!

[@LostWax]

Thanks for watching!

[@Z0MB13Redfield]

Indiana Jones would be proud.

[@LostWax]

I think he would 😁

[@Purrblind]

what a fantastic tutorial!! thank you so much- this is super helpful for a cosplay im working on and this has me so excited now!

[@LostWax]

I'm so glad it's helpful for you!

[@kjohnson4077]

Thanks for posting! Mine turned out pretty decent for using random materials I found around the house

[@LostWax]

Great to hear!

[@Izzy-cp8yt]

Jacques ze Whipper should give this a try! I'd be interested to see what he made of it!

[@LostWax]

indeed!

[@bretlemieux2489]

If you punch a hole in the leather you can run the fall through the hole you made and through itself it will tighten down and not fall off

[@LostWax]

Aaah, now there's a good idea. Thanks for that!

[@bretlemieux2489]

@@LostWax I have made a whip before that is how most people attach the fall.

[@LostWax]

@@bretlemieux2489 good to know!

[@ivantheterrible2796]

Thank You SO much for the DEVO reference, made me laugh. 😁Awesome video as per your norm! Keep up the great work!

[@LostWax]

😁 You're welcome.

[@ruthbryant3929]

Thank you for a delightful tutorial.

[@LostWax]

You are so welcome!

[@Shindai]

"That was a fun project that didn't take very long, only seven years start to finish" xD

[@LostWax]

Hehe. too true.

[@PlayNowWorkLater]

The ancient tape fingers method. Ah yes, extreme mastery

[@LostWax]

😁

[@JacobHGamez]

This is incredible!!!

[@LostWax]

Thanks:)

[@JacobHGamez]

@@LostWaxI also really liked the proton pack build, will you do any more ghostbusters projects?

[@LostWax]

@@JacobHGamez Probably not in the near future. possibly down the line though

[@JacobHGamez]

@@LostWax ok, keep up the good work!

[@lady_id.dixiet_dixt]

This looks like a cool and fun project however, if I may add, that if you want to "CRACK" your whip you should check with your local laws on that subject. Here in the county I live in, in the state of Nevada, USA a law was just recently passed that it is now against the law to crack a whip within the city limits. Thank you for sharing this video. As always, I get a kick out of them and, I'll be watching for the next one.

[@LostWax]

Good point, I had not thought of that at all.....

[@tiffanynoelle3733]

That’s awesome!!

[@GamingDad63]

Will you be posting the unedited version of the braiding as well? Would be interesting to watch. 😛 Just kidding. Nice to see something like this made out of everyday stuff.

[@LostWax]

Hehe, yep, that'd be a long, repetitive video:)

[@johnsanchez5204]

I would recommend putting a Clove-Hitch around zee end of zee Tassle, Tuh hold it on zairgh. Vuht do ye zink?

[@polliboechat]

Vc usar bastante da sua ideia , mas farei um pouco diferente obrigada por me ajudar . O seu ficou lindo

[@sketchingfish]

Amazing idea looks like leather!!

[@LostWax]

Yeah, it worked out way better than I was expecting!

[@sketchingfish]

​@@LostWaxyes the crack it made was perfect!

[@LostWax]

@@sketchingfish much louder than I thought it would be:)

[@sketchingfish]

@@LostWax yes it is really loud!

[@RavenclawFtW3295]

Fun fact: The "crack" of a whip is actually a small sonic boom. This man just made an item that can break the sound barrier out of string, duct tape, and a PVC pipe.

[@LostWax]

Sound pretty impressive when you put it that way:)

[@spencerbrotherson9061]

So no one has said, "OMG, he's using electrical tape in a whip build?" yet?" Ok, maybe I'm too much of a whip geek for this build. I get it. For what this is, it's honestly pretty impressive. I might have to try one of these

[@rycreative2699]

Hi nice video Please how long did that whip come at the end?

[@LostWax]

Including the fall, cracker, and handle, its right around 9 ft long.

[@MsBs-ws3yb]

co cute Im gonna make one in pink

[@LostWax]

Yeah!!

[@greysonkalajian5956]

Can you do a giveaway for cosplay foam

[@TheRightyBassman]

Can I buy it?

[@munklock6098]

hope this help with the convention let me go in without count the wip as "dangerous weapon" xd

[@wsdmsage]

Just noticed he looks like Harrison Wells from CW The Flash.

[@daalelli]

@JacquesZeWhipper I thought you might enjoy a whip created from duct tape.

[@Mein_suyash_hoon]

How loud does it crack

[@LostWax]

It depends a lot on how well I crack it, but I definitely can get a pretty good crack out of it.

[@nex5691]

or u can consecrate the whip for killing vampires

[@JonMadsen70]

:)

[@Mr.redacted.]

And, if you had used real leather you would have a real whip.

[@j76harris]

Absolutely no hate intended to this tutorial, but that was kinda my first thought too. I mean, there was an awful lot of time and effort put into this project, so if you're gonna do that much work anyway, why not get some leather and do it properly?

[@jarule275]

Centimeters??? We in China or what?

[@LostWax]

Nope, not China, but not the U.S. either. I've used both systems, and for some things, especially small measurements, the metric system wins hands down, but it really depends what you are used to.
