I believe that the entire point is essentially *all* people can go to heaven, be a bit more lenient and forgiving.

Oh wow, thank you so much for that comment! You're absolutely right, integrating story telling into this tutorial was one of the hardest videos I've had to produce, but I wanted to start taking these videos beyond just a "tutorial".

[@sethmays8309]

I have one that i have been working on for a while(it's been on the back burner for a few months) that has a few differences. I moved both ends to where they come out of the same spot on the monkey fist(1" steel core), then added another strand looped over(middle) and started a 4 strand sinnet knot to lock it in next to the monkey fist. I then added a core strand(a piece of paracord with the core strands left in) to the middle of my sinnet knot and then transitioned to a 4 plait. I plaited a few inches for the first belly then trimmed the tails to different lengths to add taper and removed the core strands at the halfway mark of each tail to further induce taper. After that I began plaiting an 8 plait belly over my first belly and core with each strand having the core strands removed for the second belly. I'll add an overlay when I get back to it and finally wax it once I'm finished to add a little extra mass and smooth the rollout.

[@JackDewitt-f2x]

Go big or go home!!! I had the idea of making a paracord whip rolling around in my head for a couple weeks and your video came out right as I decided to look into a tutorial! It was just meant to be :)) A full sized one would be legit too

Haha awesome! Hope this video is able to give you some guidance in that case, if you need any extra help or run into any problems just leave me a comment and I'll do my best to help you out if I can.

[@JohnFourtyTwo]

Sorry to hear about your long term relationship, same happened to me a couple years ago, just wish I would’ve ended it sooner or never gotten into it. No kids involved but all the time and money invested and wasted will never be recovered. Looking forward to your full build parawhip video. You need to put a dowel rod in the handle to give it rigidity to help you better control the whip and get more satisfying pops. You’ll want to watch some whip cracking tutorials so you don’t beat yourself up. I’ve watched videos of Harrison Ford practicing and it’s mostly slow and gentle moves. You have to remember also it’s the sound department putting those very loud cracks in and not necessarily the actor making so the whip noise.

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

Thank your for your comment! Regardless of how yours ended, I hope you came out stronger and there's always a degree of loss when these things end. Hope you were able to recover! I appreciate the tips for the bullwhip as well. It will be a much bigger undertaking, but I think it'll be fun and worth it. All the best!

[@JohnFourtyTwo]

@@TheWeaversofEternity I’m definitely over her as soon as as I drove off and put all that in the rearview mirror and not looking back. The financial recovery will take some time, just taking it a day at as time there. I’ve watched a parawhip build video and a kangaroo leather whip build video and they are intense, so I know you have a huge project ahead but I know you can handle it.

[@Sion_Revan]

Made a stockmans whip from paracord and used one of my old drum sticks as the core, cheap to make and cracks like thunder.

[@frogbear02]

some helpful tips!. one thats not a cattlemans crack, thats a "hurt yourself" crack that everyone tries when they start, then quickly learn not to do XD two, make it longer! about 6 to 7 feet is about what you want to work with as a beginner because too short = hard to crack, and too long = hard to handle

For the end of the whip you could try using a safety wire twisting took. Simple pull spin on a locking plier end. Pretty cool tool.

Great video!! I have a couple of whips, one made with paracord and one kangaroo hide, both "Indy style" bullwhips and I'm thinking of getting one zorry style soon as I love the old tv show from the 50s/60s and the Antonio Banderas' movies as well. Thought about making myself one but it's kinda scary to learn how to make one just to maybe fail at the end. I know I'll try someday

[@kfletcher2005]

I had no idea that the 'pop' from a whip is due to breaking the sound barrier. I take slightly damp towels and crack them all the time trying to pop flies out of the air.

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

Smarter Every Day made a really cool video about that, you can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5_EcoaKd9OSgZYsi=pczU3N_8khq5inE0 I watched it as part of my research for this video haha, and I think when the wet towel pops it's the same effect.

[@thatonesaiyan6309]

0:28 damn, bro hit himself so hard he shifted dimensions

[@IAmValenwind]

if you make the core full of BBs, it cracks better and has a more "solid" feel to it. beyond this, the longer the whip, the louder the crack. my favorite whip i've made is 5 feet (i made it for someone else who reneged on payment, so it's now mine, hollow core but cracks like it's full through and through), but the best and loudest one i made was 8 feet, "solid" core. be aware, though, the BBs ones do a lot more damage than the hollow ones. mind your eyes.

[@TimHootenJr]

Fantastic job man! I had never considered using a monkey's fist for the foot knot on a whip. I would love to see what a full-size whip looks like in this fashion.

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

Thank you! The only thing I don't like about this method is that there's a single strand of gutted 550 connecting the monkey's fist to the rest of the whip. I doubt it'll ever be an issue as you're never really putting tension on the monkey's fist when you use the whip, but it's just not very solid feeling. I'll have to see what I can come up with for a larger whip!

I'm confused =.=

Glad I could introduce you to paracord! As for the name, it's really just "paracord" at least here in Canada and the US. It might be called something different where you live.

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

You should be able to find it by searching "550 paracord". It's a kernmantle construction, a 32 strand nylon woven sheath around a 7 strand inner core, with 550lb tensile strength. It was originally used for parachute risers due to its small size and high strength, hence the "para" in the name.
