Love this technique. I just finished my first whip & it came out pretty sweet. I used an all black reflective paracord and did a 4 foot snake whip. I just added 6 inches to all your measurements for the 3 foot snake whip.

[@gonffbergvagg3300]

Ive just been spending the last few week trying to figure out this ending x3 impeccable timing!!

[@austinonly1965]

Gonff bergvägg Also my Paracord cost so much . I want to make 12 inch

[@austinonly1965]

lol *12 feet

[@nadineochtrup4791]

Thank you Nick, for another great video. I wandered how to do this end - saw the whip on facebook. So here is your answer :-) Thank you - i learned a lot so far.

[@thomaswhipshop889]

Great Video Nick. Always helpful to see how other people do things.

[@jjhallswhips4411]

I've always been curious about how this was made. Excellent video nick! !

[@titaniumonkey]

beautiful whip....nice job as always

[@agatasoda]

Have you tried the English eye end? Took me a couple attempts to wrap my head around it being plaited backwards but I love the ease of changing out falls!

[@ironsilk1000]

What, no crack... damn Nick. I was look forward to hear that lightning. Oh well good video as usual thank you.

[@jamesanderson2648]

Hey Nick, I’m making a 3 foot snakewhip,I don’t want to use electrical tape to secure the strands left to make the taper and don’t have access to artificial sinew. Would the inner strands from paracord work?

[@Mr194911]

You can do a twisted fall and still do a four point tie on which gives you the ability to change the fall out when you need to replace fall You just take a 30” piece of paracord and fold in half hooking center on hock and begin your twist tie off when completed Slip loop over your four strands of whip and tie on as you normally would do

[@gabriellejohnson3305]

Sorry I’m late to the party. Just found the joys of whip making. Does anyone know if the cord needs ta vine longer before feline this style of finish ? Especially with the fall inbuilt ? I am halfway through one and just found this clip. Wonder is I could do it on the end of the standard NWS 6foot bullwhip ?

[@calebscrazyamazinglife1795]

Have you ever made an English eye fallhich

[@josycroughs748]

Dear Nick, I admire your work keep it up. I have a quick question. Somewhere in a video I thought you have seat something of -self waxmaking. what link was that? I can't find it anymore. many thanks.

[@davidphillipson7256]

Hi Nick, I've finished a couple of whips with a tapered twist but the dropped strands tend to come adrift after some time. Then end up with ugly melting trying to make them stay in place. So the jury is still out whether I keep doing it or do a fall hitch. hmmm

[@NicksWhipShop]

Hi David, try flaring the strand out before you melt. Helps a lot!

[@ehcreations7821]

It looks beautiful but the thing is it can't replace it like a normal fall

[@josycroughs748]

are all the strings without core so flat both the core as the overlais?

[@caliberwhips9595]

Thanks Nick! Your tutorials always put a smile on my face! I think this is literally the first video tutorial on a tapered twist. BTW - I'm not trying to discredit your work, but I think Adam has a video on tying a fall to the two strand tapered twist. Here's the link, let me know if it applies. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmeYaIeXp9iFmMk

[@caliberwhips9595]

I agree Ethan. I saw that video a long time ago, but was sort of confused. Nick's video is was more well done. I just like the idea of attaching falls, doing what Nick did with the attached fall just sets off a little red flag in my head. But that's my opinion.

[@UnPetitPrince21]

can you make a vieo on whip holster ?

[@rayflowers9097]

Hey nick I have a dilemma I’m trying to deal with about my attempt at making my first whip. Got a minute?

[@briancambell5976]

I could answer most of your questions. I know it's been ten months so you prolly figured it out. If not though, I've been making my own for years so feel free to ask anything

[@mills8102]

It just occurred to me that cam cleats may be a good alternative to a vise at least for securing the smaller parts of the thong.

[@shane8037]

I don't want cleats anywhere near my thong thank you very much

[@MephistoRolling]

So OCD that you didnt group similar colours together for the twist.

[@NicksWhipShop]

Haha, I know. I don't usually do that.

[@austinonly1965]

Viewer is warned the bullwhip crack can actually make person deaf

[@Yeet-ci7pv]

Viewer warning This guy is stupid ^^^
