Congratulations to @Rob65 who is the winner of the miniature bullwhip drawing. Thank you all for participating in the give-away, and I plan to do more of these in the future!

[@michaelmain1990]

Your videos/voice reminds me of Bob Ross

[@Airel17]

🎉congratulations Rob65 !

[@lukas_dox]

Man it's a bummer I live in Germany. I'd be the first to buy one of those whips. I feel like I'd be totally confused. I couldn't even braid pieces of rope after someone thought me how. It looked like a British chain (like on tanks but i.g. )compared to a German made chain ⛓️. 😄

[@rebelredRC]

Congrats to him man. I was just about to comment pineapple. 😂 Awesome videos man

[@willburke5384]

is there a mistake when you are measuring out the yellow and black strands at around 1:00:00? you say to measure out 2x 12ft strands (1 yellow and 1 black) then 1x 9.5ft strand of black then an 8ft strand of black again then a 5.5ft yellow and a 4ft black?? that makes 4 black strands and 2 yellow ones, you say there needs to be 3x of yellow and 3x of black. which one needs to change to yellow?

[@Bob-xo4es]

Who else decided to watch the entirety of this video nonstop at 2am because you’re bored out of your mind

[@jozefvelez8458]

YO!

[@green9012]

Relaxing before bed!

[@ohighojones4029]

I love making things out of paracord. But I'm gonna watch most of it it's not too late tho. Don't got anything else going on

[@dthundergunb3115]

Well the reason why I wad watching was cuz I was beating the shit out of everything in my house just like he was in the start of the video, and wanted to make a tiny whip so I could play inside and my wife not want to kill me for destroying the living room

[@dthundergunb3115]

This was an alternate reason for watching. But mainly because I wanted to make a small whip to play with inside the house and not have my wife murder me for destroying the living room with the full side whip

[@erichminer7722]

The Bob Ross of whip making… beautiful and clever cinematography in the beginning! Excited to give this a try!

[@CrustyBiker]

I thought the same too 🤭

[@JS-ob5ul]

His bob ross vibe is powerful. You didn’t see that was just a bonus!

[@rothbekirkendall7756]

Definite Bob Ross vibe.

[@idget5]

Came here looking for this!

[@Christ_died_for_your_sins_777.]

If i hear someone compare nick to bob ross 1 more time, im gonna off myself

[@chronxdev]

Didn't expect to watch over 2 hours of pocket size whip-making at 5 in the morning, but this is great stuff! Now I want to make one for myself

[@sirkleiber]

About 20 minutes in and I realized, for me, you are the Bob Ross of whip making.

[@NicksWhipShop]

Thanks!

[@CanadaWhips]

Just finished watching the intro. Very funny and fantastic cinematography (as usual). We are so fortunate to have such a talented filmmaker and whip maker in our community. Thanks for all of your hard work Nick!

[@NicksWhipShop]

Thank you very much, Justin! I love your new WhipTalk series you started tonight. I caught the tail end of it, but I'm looking forward to the next one!

[@mrjibrhanjamalkhan2144]

Tail end, hey hey

[@JohnJohn-xb1sn]

Hey Nick. Just wondering your thoughts on the way Adam made his single belly whip and your current method. The pros and cons. I've made 2 one your way and one his. Very new to this so i know mine are not perfect.. Curious to know since you got to crack it right after it was made.. Thanks John..

[@gazinta]

Yeah. About that. That looks like me this morning before my coffee.

[@UgadArgentis]

Looks like me after too many whiskeys

[@calebhamby5486]

Love the new project. you inspired me to start making whips years ago with the controversial electrical tape whip. Since then I’ve made six as gifts for friends and family, and nothing lights up someone’s face like the first time they break the sound barrier. Thank you for making this art accessible to so many, and keep up the killer work.

[@dalelarsen8684]

Awesome man. You have serious skills thanks for sharing 👍

[@JasonSmith-gd2un]

I been around whips has a child to my early 20’s . My Granddad started teaching me a little but time moved on . I just recently started braiding again. So a whip is gonna be my first thing . I believe it will be a micro,Awesome Thanks

[@MikeDneesoo]

I used to have a 12 ft but it got lost in a move. I love your whips and you make it look so easy. Keep making those very awesome looking whips

[@W8MJL]

I found your video on a suggested list. I've always wanted to try making my own bullwhip, bought books and everything, and i have to say your videos are a whole HEAP more helpful than any book. Your demos are so detailed and precise people can't help but be successful in making whips and once my winter layoff starts i'll be trying my hand at making this little wonder. And one last thing I wanted to add...Your like the Bob Ross of whip making, your soft voice and pleasant demeaner makes watching your videos a "JOY in whipmaking", all your missing is your happy little friends...LOL. Thanks for giving me a new hobby to add to my arsenal.

[@hingedelephant]

Hands down, easily among the best whip making videos I’ve viewed. Certainly the most personable. Thank you for this.

[@JayTB123]

When Nick drops a whip making tutorial, the rest of the day goes on hold.

[@koreyedwards8142]

You're the Bob Ross of whip making, such a calming voice.

[@draven7725]

I really appreciate your work. I used your first video to make my first bullwhip. That was a great learning experience and a lot of finger rope burns lol. I will try making this one now too.

[@chrisgriffith1573]

I have watched tons of your content. Over the last six months, I have learned the basics of whipmaking. I have just completed my third whip, and love the English eye method. I hope to one day be able to be able to tie a turks head knot without step by step video pauses in front of me! Glad to see you upload today!

[@NicksWhipShop]

Thanks for watching, Chris! The knots took me forever. It just takes repetition, you'll get it!

[@dp7228]

I am 12 years old I've been watching you videos for around a year now And I love making whips My next project will be 1 of those micro it gonna be a lot of fun

[@NicksWhipShop]

Thanks for watching DP! Hope it goes well!

[@Draecotic]

Love the content! Made my first whip thanks to your videos a year back and my friend has been convincing me to pursue it

[@DarthCommand]

Loving the idea for a miniature whip, I have been getting back into whip making after making my first two a couple years ago and this would be a really fun one to try!

[@sjb4552911]

I love having you on in the background while I'm at work. I can get my whip fix and your voice work is spot on and relaxing. This intro was the best.

[@661sInfamous]

I don't know what I'm getting myself into with this channel but I subscribed just on the intro alone...😂😂👍

[@NicksWhipShop]

Thanks so much!

[@hugginmcgroyne8262]

I have waited for another 3 foot build for a very very long time... and as expected.. this was well worth the wait.. Thank you Nick!

[@Garlgraxx]

I love your videos, Nick. You inspired me to make my first whips a few years ago :)

[@NicksWhipShop]

Thanks for watching! I'm very glad the videos have been helpful.

[@phillipm.edwardslll3916]

You and Adam have helped me in more ways than I can thank y'all for

[@adamems2540]

The struggle is real with indoor whipping. I plan on making a few of these micro whips. Thanks for all the great videos

[@NicksWhipShop]

Thank you all very much for being here! If you are new to the channel, I would encourage you to firstly build a full sized bullwhip if you have never made one before. You can find my most current method of building a bullwhip here ► kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3K2Z6eDrMiaqZY

[@RavensSpirit2012]

Thank you Im in the UK and Im very grateful to you for the excellent tutorial with plain simple language and demonstration. You now have a subscriber with full notification bell. Thanks again and keep sage and healthy ☺️

[@jamesfair9751]

Just curious as to why you would say to build a full sized first? Is it easier something to get practice on ??

[@McCracker907]

Yo Nick. My name is Elijah, I live in Alaska and became addicted to cracking whips about 1 and half ago. I was braiding knife handles, keychains, bracelets with Paracord...You know..well My buddy says he's gonna make a whip, And he did thanks to you! Always be proud of what you do,even on the days you just ain't feeling it. This is just the beginning for you my friend... Keep Cracking and do you my friend!!!!!

[@Dizzy7dezus]

You have changed my life I've watched all your videos over 100 times and I've been making whips since I started watching you during quarantine a few years ago.. Your the man.. Thanks for sharing all your wisdom I am truely greatful🤠

[@DamnWoodWorker]

Perfect! I also tried to make such a whip, but without good cords it turned out more like a club

[@pitdevildog]

Wow! The feeling of dismay you portrayed in the intro and the support of your cat had me chuckling my friend. Nice job :-)

[@Mr194911]

Just made a black and purple for grandson Christmas now to make another one for other grandson Thanks for sharing your talents

[@ChillinwithCav]

Nick is the Bob Ross of whip making.

[@Murzington]

This video reminds me of Bernie Wojcicki's videos from way back in the day. He's passed now but it's good to see the spirit of sharing knowledge he tried to foster still lives on.

[@4skin6]

This video is so very much of the big time awesomeness and Nick should start his own Mr. Rogers style show on PBS! Love it!

[@jebadiahhalfhand648]

I'd like to thank you for pulling me through some dark times in my life with your videos. I've found a new sort of meditative catharsis in whip making thanks to your ever-patient, calming and reflective demeanor. Thank you Nick, for giving to the world this gift of knowledge and for showing me a constructive and introspective way to chill the hell out. Cheers!!

[@Xormyr]

The one that taught me how to. Thanks to you nick. I have a beautifull whip to call my own. Been happily whippin for years now thanks to you

[@Copratra]

Been planning on trying to make a paracord whip for a long time now. I think this tutorial will be the best to void all resistance and excuses. Thank you!

[@rohanwolfe6840]

I have watched quite a few of your videos and I love them . I have always felt the way you talk during them is very Bob Ross esc. That calming sound while making a piece of art.

[@metisont]

Played with store bought whips as a kid ...following you for a while...want to start making...thank you for the knowledge!!

[@jonathanharney8405]

Thank you for making these tutorials. I find plaiting whips to be very helpful in releasing stress. It has literally safed my life.

[@NicksWhipShop]

So glad to hear that Jonathan!

[@darrinbosley1728]

I came across your videos for the first time today. I will be spending a lot time watching all of you videos. Thank you for making the videos.

[@jennifermoore4659]

I take every chance I can to watch a miniature tutorial. Never thought of a whip. This was very cool. My grandpa as a teenager in the 1940s was a whip master. Thank you for the video.

[@stanislavstrecker7476]

Hey Nick, I remember when i first got interested in whips. KZbin wasn't as refined as it is now and there was your video. A full length tutorial. It was a blessing. Your Video definitely got me started. Thank you!

[@Desert.Sagebrush.]

Thanks for all of the work you've done over the years. Without your videos I don't think I'd ever had gotten into the whipmaking and whipcracking world. I'm most defiantly will be trying out this project, and then trying my own flare with whipmaking. Keep up the great work!

[@J.T.91302]

Dude!!! Your awesome. Loved the fact that you realized you camera angel wasn’t correct and redid what wasn’t seen. This is my fist time seeing anything about a bull whip. Never knew or thought about a bull whip. But I just watched (or just about to finish) watching my first video by you. I’m not even a bull whip fan or know what they are actually for. Lmfao. But I’m gonna make this mini whip I just watched for the last 2hrs!! Just wanted to say thank you for showing me something new. You are much appreciated!!!!!

[@NicksWhipShop]

Thanks so much for watching, JT! Welcome to the world of whipmaking my friend.

[@melvinthomas3321]

I've always been a fan of your work forever (you had much longer hair back then). This is definitely a project I'm shooting to the top of my "make wish" list. Thank you Nick for your tremendous work in the communities you're part of on KZbin.

[@NicksWhipShop]

Thank you so much for watching all these years, Melvin! I really appreciate it, and it means so much. Let me know if you give this build a try!

[@andyshriner5443]

I got really into watching this channel when I had Covid the first time in 2020. Now I have it the third time, and I thought it was time to revisit.

[@robertseguin4875]

the "bob ross" of whip making, thanks

[@litlquiver]

Great video to show the possibilities the havoc throwing a whip indoors can cause. Thank you for sharing.

[@Wolverine05]

This made my face light up in a smile. My son will love this just wow

[@brokennose2681]

I remember when you put up the electrical tape video. What a progression! The "current method" upload during the quarantines was truly a gift. I couldn't get parts for my "current guitar making methods" and the timing of that instructional couldn't have been better. Thank you Nick. Batmaaaaaannnn!

[@NicksWhipShop]

Haha!! I've not had a visit from the Batman shouter since. Maybe he'll be back this fall! 😄 Thanks for watching!

[@KittyMcScratch]

Absolutely loved the intro! The mini whip next to the full size is just so cool and the mini is so adorable!

[@kevinpettinger6644]

Nick, you are the Bob Ross of whip making. Talented, encouraging and soothing!

[@Darksunbird]

you are the bob ross of whips making...that's a compliment.. i could meditate to this audio XD. great tutorial. guided meditation for you're inner dom.

[@BillyCaldwell-nu5mt]

I have several vintage whips started out cracking whips off horse back as a group of heatherns always wanted to make one of my own thanks to your videos you made that possible thank you

[@valkyrie1716]

Just found this and it's making me want to make one again. I found your videos when I was deployed and made a snake whip and a 6ft and 8ft whip when I had time.

[@joshuatroydespania8543]

I tried to follow one of your videos when i was younger and it came out pretty bad but watching your videos makes me want to try again

[@koed6490]

Always an inspiration and so calming to watch. I’ve learned to make whips watching your videos and it helped me through some rough times in my life and I wanted to thank you again for that. Love the intro to this one, shows your acting skills. Take care and keep them coming.

[@NicksWhipShop]

I'm so glad the videos have been encouraging. Thank you for watching!

[@lanedaugherty7658]

I have watched everyone of your videos from your first to this one and have made several Whips from all of your methods and I really thank You for your detail and in depth videos to help me get into whip making 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@julien93140]

You opened a small window in my head. Thank you from France :)

[@obh7762]

This is a fantastic tutorial. You explain everything in not only great detail, but very clearly as well.

[@DaGSlM2015]

The Bob Ross of whip making!

[@danielbear3802]

You inspired me to being whip making your instructions are great and easy to follow. Though I find it hard to afford the paracord. But thank you for introducing me to whip making

[@NooDLEfor]

This is super cool. A pocket bullwhip sounds super fun.

[@NicksWhipShop]

Thanks for watching!

[@atlimann79]

I have been following you since 2013 I think, and one of your full tutorial video was the first video on KZbin that was longer than 30 minutes that I ever watched. This whip would be a great conversation starter as I doubt that there are any whip crackers here in Iceland, and zero whip makers :)

[@GryphonArmorer]

“Why yes I do”, 🤪😂🤣 Such a cool little whip.

[@accvoodooracing412]

Never thought I'd be into making whips buuuut about 2 years ago I watched your 1st video .. aaaaaand now I've honestly lost count of how many I've made. Best guess 15 or 20 🤣 🤣 1st was terrible but still cracks and my latest whip is a thing of beauty! Everyone tells me I need to be selling them! Thank you for not procrastinating on the KZbin channel 🤣🤣🤣

[@patrickwade288]

Nick, I just want to thank you for the tutorials you have made. Many, many years ago my grandfather wanted me to learn how to build whips from his neighbor. I was very young and never had the “time” or patience for it. Fast forward 40 some odd and I by happenstance see one of your videos and watched it completely. I was mesmerized by it and then proceeded to watch several more. Then I thought hmm, I might just be able to do this. I went to Lowe’s and purchased some paracord and a few other supplies and made my first 6’ bullwhip. I was so proud of it when I finished. Some of my friends really liked it and wanted me to make them one. I made a second one for my wife’s friend who lives in Alaska. It turned out even so much better than the first one. I could see a lot of the imperfections in the first one now a lot more. Mainly how the taper just was not great. She absolutely loved the whip! I have now made 2 more 8’ whips for a friend of mine and my Uncle. Thank you so much for inspiring me and everyone else that you have helped to bring into this hobby. You will really never know how much joy you have brought into my life by your videos. I’m gonna stop now, otherwise I will just keep rambling on. Keep up the work brother!

[@pattyb3609]

I think I found my new hobby. And with your real time video is very helpful for me, as I can repeatly watch steps for clarification. Thank you for your efforts.

[@wren5291]

Never needed a tutorial as much as now. I smiled, I ooohed, I laughed, I winced and laughed some more😂. Finally, after managing to watch the whole video I can applaud you on another fantastic tutorial, repleat with top notch comedic theatrics - I hope the laptop was OK😉. I love the dryer scene, especially Tipper looking equally as curious to see what's happening. Bravo! Encour😹👏🏽🏆.

[@NicksWhipShop]

Thanks so much Wren! The laptop was already retired many years ago, and needed a proper finale! 😂

[@toddginaowensby5518]

Absolutely Awesome guides on whip making. It's awesome how you take your time to video the whole process of making the whip.

[@stevebrown3159]

Fabulous work. I've always been fascinated by knots and braiding. It's amazing to watch your whip making process. Thank you.

[@fahhque2917]

Your like the bob ross of bull whips, appreciate you.

[@lasher8589]

Thanks for all of your Videos, Made my First whip with your First Tutorial and i enjoy it ever since.

[@nikkothegoblin]

Didn't ever think there'd be a mini bullwhip tutorial but yknow what, sounds fun. I haven't made a whip in years

[@jaymeh5854]

I made the joke with my friends calling them calfwhips instead of bullwhips. Love the tutorial however, and the intro :)

[@MannequinMax]

You might very well be the incarnation of Bob Ross. I mean that as a compliment :)

[@raycandy7797]

Hey man thanks for all the tutorial you have gave me a new hobby in a really dark time in life.

[@anderdubosq6462]

I have been watching you for years I finally bought all the material now I need to start building. Great video and loved the intro. The dryer shrinking reminded me of April Fools videos on YT. Thanks

[@NicksWhipShop]

Thanks so much for watching! Please let me know how the build goes.

[@user-zx5pp6nc6i]

I served my 2 year LDS mission in Australia and always wanted a bull wip but left without one.love the video

[@rustybullwhips1567]

Love your nature backgrounds! The yellow leaves contrast nicely with the whip!

[@andrewlake7992]

Wonderfully done tutorial, kinda felt as if i was watching some good old fashioned bob ross.

[@johnestes2729]

Clever intro to the video! The cat was a nice touch.

[@billyelrod7881]

Thank you Nick for all your hard work I have been watching you videos for a long while, my first whip was the snake whip. You did a few years back. Thank you again.

[@zuban1165]

Good day, Nick. My name is Dmitry and I'm from Russia. I have long dreamed of making a whip and, thanks to your videos, my dream has come true. Thank you for the high-quality and detailed video. Thank you very much.

[@diversionpro]

What a great intro and step by step instruction as well. I'd like to see an updated stockwhip video with one of the lathe carved wooden handles. Keep up the great work.

[@SteveSmithgccaz]

I really enjoyed this video; very meditative. I've made/attempted a handful of whips in the past, but now I want to try a mini bullwhip. It's really, really helpful that you have links to all of the supplies, especially the whipmaker's cord. Thanks, Nick!

[@blevinsknives]

These look amazing! I am glad I found your videos! Looking forward to checking out your other work!

[@Thunder13cc]

I haven't had one of your videos pop up in my feed for a while. I am going to try this one. your videos are great, thank you for making them, best whip tutorials for sure.

[@NicksWhipShop]

Thank you very much!

[@davidclauss1305]

You give a thorough explanation of every step. What an awesome little whip!

[@robmuci9195]

I've been there before. Inside, gloomy day, just wishing I could get some practice in. This is perfect I'm gonna get going on making mine own right now. Thank you for the amazing tutorials, tips, and tricks. Definitely the best whipmakers videos out there!

[@NicksWhipShop]

Thanks Rob! Let me know how it goes!

[@ralphjoyce9212]

Nick has taught me so much about making whips. I'm working on a longer one now, but next week I'll be ordering whip makers cord. What a great idea.

[@NicksWhipShop]

Thanks for watching!

[@eliotswett6608]

I learned how to make whips from you and Adam Winrich. I’ve made quite a few and thank you for beginning a life long hobby

[@NicksWhipShop]

You are very welcome Eliot, I'm glad they have been inspiring.

[@z98133]

Nice craftsmanship. Delivered like Bob Ross the painter.

[@jjhallswhips4411]

Wonderful video Nick! Even I’m still doing your tutorials ! It’s a fun build to use the whip makers cord and miniaturized your own whips. Thank you for the tutorial man!

[@jeffreyluster7479]

I love this. Now to convince myself that I can actually do this.

[@wren5291]

You absolutely can AND should. Give it a go🏁.

[@weatherill430]

lead is not a good choice . your opening yourself to trouble imo

[@mattstorero3472]
