Making a Paracord Bullwhip for Adam Savage!

[@charlesputcho9329]

That's awesome. I'd love to watch and learn as much from you "making a bullwhip " as possible.

[@dannysantos1266]

Mind blowing patience and dedication. Bravo.

[@MrOwen703]

That is truly amazing! The amount of work that goes into one of these is astonishing! Well done.

[@tiggerinakilt]

Looks Great and Great job keeping your lines straight.

[@Rubmaster]

That thing is outrageously beautiful

[@Xormyr]

What an absolute beautifull whip....

[@bengeisser]

That’s awesome! Hopefully Adam Savage does an unboxing video of this whip! Would love to see his reaction and see him use it! You sir have found yourself another subscriber! Your videos are very well put together keep them coming!!!

[@paladinlv1]

Nice job on the whip! I like your idea of how to start plaiting a layer, I'll use it the next time around!

[@thebeardedmantravels394]

Amazing work, real craftsmanship!

[@joebaileygl1500]

Excellent work

[@whipworks4468]

Thanks!

[@toferj7441]

Would love an update on whether Adam Savage ever gets this whip (assuming he doesn't post about it on the TESTED channel)

[@whipworks4468]

I'll definitely do that! I really hope it gets to him :-)

[@codymccormick2613]

This is Adam savage we’re talking about! You’ve sent him a whip that you’ve made by hand with a video on how it was made. 99 percent sure this will end up on tested! Fantastic job btw

[@whipworks4468]

Thanks for the optimism Cody, and for the compliment :-)

[@sparkplug1972]

Interesting way of starting the plaiting. Great looking whip!

[@Bretandmarisa]

I'm sure Adam will love it, I hope he makes a video about it

[@bryanneemanns]

I didn't know that Adam had his own KZbin page, so thank you. I also subscribed to you. I am wanting to get into whip making.

This looks like a really fun project! - Great video by the way! I would love to learn how to make a bull whip!

[@whipworks4468]

Ben Lavallee Thanks! I plan on making my big how to make a bullwhip series in March, it's a big undertaking!

[@johnlait1654]

Why am I only finding out about your channel now, you rock

[@NicksWhipShop]

Nice whip Adam! I'm sure he'll be very pleased. Also great idea melting the sinker cord to the steel and giving it a roll while its hot - looks like it really keeps things nice, and as flat as possible.

[@whipworks4468]

Thanks Nick! Ya, it kind of locks the sinker cord in place when loading the core. So glad you enjoyed it!

[@whipmakingjosy1759]

nice job i am whating for your tutorials great stuff

What are you using to hold down the taped strands to plait. Looks like 2 metal blocks. (2 x 4)

[@bigv6724]

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

[@McJaews]

Great job on the whip.The lettering pattern on the handle is a very nice touch. It would be awesome if you disable autofocus on your camera for timelapse, since the constant rapid focus switches can be pretty nausea inducing. I hope Adam was pleased!

[@whipworks4468]

Thanks for the advice, I am still figuring out this medium. I really enjoy it though. Thanks for the comment!

[@bluesnowball9346]

Are there other videos that explain what's being done, what processes are used when and for what purposes, what materials are being used, etc. ?

[@SteveHupe]

Love the video! Never seen a paracord whip made before, so this was awesome. One helpful hint though, set your camera focus to manual on your static shots and it won’t keep slipping in and out of focus, since you’re just focusing on one area in the scene. :) Great job, I’m gonna check out more vids and maybe sub.

[@whipworks4468]

Steve H Thanks! Ya, I have gotten that note several times now and have learned my lesson, auto focus + time-lapse = a big headache! I'm glad you enjoyed the video though

[@wherethefukdabucketat3389]

Defiantly need a tutorial for this

[@Techliz.X]

Nice vid duder! Sidenote: really appreciate your how-to on whips but, you think you can point me in the right direction for more music like the the track you used for this? It's not within my usual sphere of go-to audio but, the more I hear it the more I like it!! Especially that second one that starts at 5:00 minutes in!! Thanks for taking the time to show us how you do this btw!

[@whipworks4468]

Thanks! All of the music I use in my videos comes from the free music library from KZbin. It takes some searching, but there is some great stuff in there

[@meadmaker4525]

So, what did Adam think of the whip? Did he ever get it? Did he comment on it or try it out?

[@whipworks4468]

I got a response from the team at Tested saying he got it, they sent me a picture of it sitting in his workshop which was pretty cool!

[@meadmaker4525]

@@whipworks4468 - I guess that's something. After all the work you put into it, though, I hoped he would have at least sent a picture of him holding it or something. Great job on the whip! Haven't seen anyone plat text into a design before.

Thanks James! There should be one coming your way in late March ;-)

[@dark96744]

That was absolutely beautiful. My whip making skills are no where near your level i can barely do the transition knot and I cant even do the heel knot

[@whipworks4468]

Thanks! The accent knots take forever. At one point I took a pvc pipe and covered it in different widths/thicknesses of leather to practice the knots on. Keep at it!

[@dark96744]

That should try that

[@colegordon7110]

How did you braid the letters into it? I would like to know.

[@whipworks4468]

Thanks for the comment! I'll have to do a tutorial on that

[@coldendain691]

I’d like to see how you start each layer and how I can keep kinks out of my whips they crack but it’s not real neat if you would do that I would be forever in your debt and thank you

[@nickgrant1974]

Please make a video on how to make one. Which is better for a beginner, a 6ft or 8ft bullwhip?

[@whipworks4468]

A how to set of videos is in the early stages of being made! I would recommend a shorter whip for your first on hands down.

[@TheTarrMan]

What's the name of the song at 2:28. The google song find thing keeps taking me to some other song. NICE BULLWHIP!

[@whipworks4468]

Thanks! It's called Far Away by MK2

[@ajwadt701]

How much parachord we need for this whip

[@mutazaljahrani1829]

Omg, what if you made a latch whip a whip that can grab things and pull them without untying itself or tangling it’s self. And at the same time it can move quickly like a stock whip

[@Kezat]

Vary cool build, thanks! Not sure if it was intended as a style but the constant lost of camera focus thing I found quite annoying.

[@ControlledWrinkles]

Very nicely done whip. I was amused by all the taped fingers and the glove wearing for the Turks head assembly. I don’t plait four or six strands except on my hair or beard, and if I stop mid braid, I find it horribly difficult to figure out/remember where I left off. How many whips have you made total on average?

[@whipworks4468]

Haha, sometimes the medical tape on the fingers in necessary on long plaiting days. I am approaching my 100th whip, I am really close!

[@Rookthabastad]

HEY WHATS THAT WHITE GRIDLOOKING STUFF HE PUT ON THERE

[@sandrokraner3607]

Great whip! Where do you buy your paracord?

[@whipworks4468]

Thanks! I get mine in bulk from E. L. Wood Braiding

[@onotadaki]

Cool content. I might suggest finding a way to have better contrast on your work material. It's often small, dark and moving, all over a dark background. Different lighting, camera angles, backdrops, etc... May help.

[@paulpower1972]

Hi Adam. Complete newbee here but would love to try making a paracord whip myself. Are the core strands removed from ALL the paracord before use? Thank you in advance

[@whipworks4468]

Coaster's Bushcraft Yes they are! And just so you know, I plan on having a comprehensive guide up in March on How To Make a Bullwhip. So if you're still thinking about it then, keep an eye out for those videos!

[@charlesputcho9329]

What are you using on the transition from the handle?

[@whipworks4468]

It's 1/4" shrink tubing, it's usually used to insulate the connection between wires. Is that what you're referring to?

@@whipworks4468 Idk. I was referring to the mesh you secured on with artificial sinew

[@charlesputcho9329]

@@whipworks4468 Thanks. I love your work. I'm about to venture into a 9 foot whip. I've made the core only so far. I'm curious as to why you gut the cord for the core? I mean I understand loading them with bbs but the bottom part of the core. Why not leave it round with strands in core?

[@whipworks4468]

@@charlesputcho9329 The coreless lays more flait, even in my internal layers I think it makes a difference. Also, I order all of my paracord coreless straight from the manufacturer, so I don't waste any material by doing it this way. Good luck on that 9 footer!

I wanted to buy a whip from you but etsy is sold out. Bummer.
