To anyone who Wants to keep the particular plating pattern, when you drop a strand, instead of going over 3 under 3 still, switch to / 3 under 2 on the side you droped the strand, and the plating pattern will continue the exact same

[@tac7826]

Do you sell paracord whips?

[@robertgissing]

I just finished my whip using your video, thank you for making this a very straightforward process. Now I have to make another one.

[@TheBigdawg0614]

Instead of electrical tape, I would try cloth tape. I used that type to tape up hockey sticks. And on the top of the shaft as you do your wraps twist the tape to create ridges to give your gloves something to hold on to . Would be an interesting alternative. Plus the cloth tape doesn't stretch and is incredibly sticky

[@diamondflaw]

Hockey tape cures so many ills.

Question! I see in his video when he drops strands on the overlay. He does under 3 over 2. My question is what about when you get to 4 strands on each side. Does it then go to an 8 plait style. Under 2 over 2. Or still continue doing under 3 over 1 if that makes sense

[@Anothermachine]

Just for all those who have gone unanswered--- Q: why not electrical tape? A: the adhesive fails easily and eventually it gets dry and will crack and crumble...this will work but will give you less quality for a high durability heirloom quality whip. Q: what should you use instead? A: many people suggest a fabric tape such as hockey tape. Medical tape also works with a good adhesive. Sports tape like KT tape is excellent. I cannot tell you MY secret weapon as i haven't finalized testing but recently have found a far superior product that so far out performs everything mentioned...

[@jeffkerr807]

Wanna let me in on the superior material? Tks

[@juanmartin3533]

[@goldenbergconstruction1656]

Would you consider making a video on what to look for in a whip, how to tell if the whip purchased is a good one and after a months use or so what defects might you find if it is not a well made whip. What to look for in a good whip?

[@sethrenville798]

More bellies generally equals a better meet with, you won't run from a reputable dealer that is not made with electrical tape, And likely one that has been waxed. Otherwise, aside from shoddy plating comer you can't really tell much from just looking at pictures of their whips, and everything else is entirely up to personal preference. Personally, I prefer a 7 football whip, or a 3 and a 1/2 foot snake whip, depending on what I'm using it for

[@quinedward7973]

The subtitles at the beginning of the video, when hes cracking the whip. "Applause"

[@SOLDIERNumberI]

For the base layer next to the nail but before you tape it, I've got a bit of a question. The second paracord length of 2 1/2 ft, is it also filled with bbs?

[@torenmcknight]

Only the core has bbs

[@kylanashcraft3805]

Thank you for this tutorial! I love the weight of this whip. I was wondering if you could do a tutorial for a 6 foot whip using the same shot loading method? Would be much appreciated!

[@caliberwhips9595]

You can use proportions to change its length.

[@DoodlyDoo59210]

Have you ever made a whip without gutting the outer belly plating? I made one last night and missed that step by accident. It works, but I can't tell what downfalls it has by being thicker and less flat plating. I'm wondering if it would be worth it to unweave the outer belly and gut, then re-plate.

[@mattlivesworld]

I’m confused on how he plated the second belly. What did he do with the two red strings starting out? Someone please help thank you

[@Jesse_underwoo]

Matt Irvin same dude I started from the bottom like the first layer and it’s turning out fine

[@frododavis9082]

if you drop your ends and change the over under on the side you dropped you can keep the pattern,,,,like under 3 over 2 then you drop one so on one side you are under 3 over 1 on the other side under 3 over 2 till you catch up to the next one to drop off then it is the same on both sides stop using that gd tape and use sinew instead

[@Nowweh]

I have to get more paracord for the overlay, but for the core I didn’t use paracord at all, or electrical tape. I used a 10ft iPhone charger for each segment of the core, then instead of electrical tape wrapped it with nylon masonry twine, super glueing it every 4 inches or so so it doesn’t come in done. Hoping it will work, seems pretty decent already .

[@TipsyRavenSailing]

Good morning. The longer 'core' - should i remove the inner strands of that 4 ft length or leave them? i have my bb strands done and not sure now.

[@dillonlynch5225]

[@sehamshouldbesacrificedtot1708]

Can you use wood for the handle?

[@illyariddell1032]

What is a better alternative to electrical tape if one wanted to be a better whip maker? Do you have an alternate tutorial NOT involving electrical tape?

[@danielstratyjr3994]

Artificial senue is what a better product, watch Nick's Whip Shop, he'll show so many better methods of making a much better whip.

[@blainemorris7584]

Did the overlay go black,red, red,black,black,black

[@SGD2718]

You use artificial sinew instead of electrical tape, and that's what I did with my core and it took all day long. (literally)

[@wing7534]

How could I scale this up to 6 feet?

[@spcolcord]

Hey I got a question, can I convert your measurements for this whip to a 6 foot whip and a 9-10 inch nail to make a 6 footer? And what would those measurements be by chance?

[@caliberwhips9595]

spcolcord - I don't have that, but use the proportional equation to covert all the measurements.

[@chrisdaniels4674]

So was that whip from the beginning of the video this one here that your making or do we get the p g whip. What do you use besides electric tape

[@bikerman198923]

Have you ever considered using jb weld instead of glue so the nail cant spike through or using a long bolt instead of a nail the paracord can then grip the threads

[@sethrenville798]

The pair record will definitely stay attached just fine, unless you are planning on using your whip to Swing around like Tarzan. As far as the different core for the handle, I find that 1/4 inch dowel rod is actually a perfect, as I can then thicken it up with layers of electrical Tape or heat shrink tubing if I decide, but I generally prefer a thinner handle

[@Nick-ul2nu]

If you make this whip round of the sharp tip of the nail a little bit with a file to prevent ripping

[@hughmorox]

Hey what changes would you need to make for a 6 foot whip?

[@tac7826]

If this is 4 ft multiply by 1.5.

[@JimCastleberry]

@@tac7826 Math is hard :)

[@paullong1737]

I made it. The outer layer is short by about 1-2 feet so cut a 20-21 for the long strands. Otherwise it came out to a 4’2” whip.

[@paullong1737]

I also used lamp chain instead of bbs

[@jacobchairez3360]

What tape do you use in your bull whips professional to bind them since you don't use electric tape?

Artificial sinew instead

[@dreday1062000]

are you supposed to remove the inside strands when doing the belly and other layers?

[@dreday1062000]

Nevermind, its answered further down in the comments.

[@alexvanover4444]

How did you get the bbs in the chord I'm still stuck on the a team part🤣🤣🤣

[@Devil_Dog3614]

Is core weight more important than length on this, I wonder?

[@dichromanjb]

The video seemed to cut out early for the order you were pulling the strands to start the overlay. I saw the first few,does it just go in order longest to shortest?

[@DonB-mp5hp]

How many times have you whipped yourself before getting pretty good at that cracking action lol I can imagine it was a couple at least

[@azraelf.6287]

For the 4.5' piece of 'normal' cord for the core, you didn't specify if it was gutted or still had the inner strands. Just that there were no BBs.

[@nan_number]

That caught my attention too. I think this is the only piece that is not gutted because you want the volume for the core.

[@jjbarn2024]

Yes it is ungutted

[@Lethal_Bite]

I'm wanting to do this, but I had one unclear question. For the core you had two strands with bbs and one without. Does the one without bbs still have its inner strands, or have they been removed?

[@iliketomakeweapons6677]

Fat Habit if you leave the longest length of paracord with its inner strands it makes last longer

[@rebeccasilveous8898]

I would say he doesn't have it gutted because it gathers in better with those inner cords inside the paracord they kind of all seat together when you're wrapping it with the tape if you cut it out it doesn't have the depth to hug into the other two beaded strands.

[@sethrenville798]

​@@rebeccasilveous8898 Not only that I, but it Helps to make the whip throw coils significantly more consistently, As it helps the weight taper more consistently towards the end. Otherwise, you're liable to end up with a relative "flop" where the shot loaded portion ends, As I unfortunately discovered

[@deavyhick6803]

I just pulled one of those nails from the ground for marking pipes. Also, can you use lead pellets for added weight?

[@davidbubar9107]

[@rodrigoruiz976]

Does it matter if the paracord is made of nylon or polyester?

[@sethrenville798]

Technically, no, especially since this is wrapped with electrical tape, and won't stay together for super long, but nylon is always preferable.

[@paultodd5408]

I’m trying to make this whip and I’m having problems with the plaiting is there any tips or tricks to getting the pattern to be straight on all sides of the whip or any videos that shows and tricks

[@cerberusdemon1649]

Plait towards you not away from you like this guy does in the start off. Easiest way is if you want the left top strand to come through reach through on the right side down how ever many strands and pull it through and over the others.

What is used instead of electrical tape if the whip is to be sold?
