The music is so peaceful. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video, thanx man!

[@FrankietheGoose]

This is a beautiful craft and it is obvious how much love you put into your work. Thank you for sharing this!

[@novaworxconstruction1173]

WOW!!! if only one day to bring myself to the level of a true whip smith like yourself , after viewing you crafting such a beautiful piece , i strive and push now to do better, i want what you have the skill to craft such art . you sir are my insperation to build and learn better ways with my hands and mind . Thank you W.K

[@kameccashabolton7327]

I am absolutely amazed at the beauty ~ You’re a wonderful inspiration!

[@GonnaSaveThePrincess]

The shot of the various leather braiding/whip books at 1:20 was an awesome idea, love it!

[@kycornbread6990]

You sir are a craftsman. You show quality from start to end. A person who owns anything you made can be assured it was done with pride. Thanks for sharing.

[@WitchcraftWhips]

That's very kind of you. I take great pride in my work. Thank you.

[@sandeepmagar2183]

What a brilliant video very interesting to know how such an iconic whip is made including all the attention to detail

[@pieces2010]

Beautiful! Thanks, was great to watch. Have always wanted one of these since I was little. Might just have to buy one of yours, now that I've seen you at work!

[@starwarwasp6439]

That is a truly beautiful whip you’ve made. I don’t even know why, but I LOVE the handle. Spectacular job dude

[@anna-karinkarlsson8709]

Amazing! So beautiful. I am full of respect for your skills

[@skipbfx]

The last time I saw a video this well done, it won an academy award. What an absolute pleasure to watch. I'll never make a whip​ but will certainly borrow some ideas I have seen. Thank you.

[@WitchcraftWhips]

Much appreciated! Thank you very much.

[@DeanLouie-t1x]

Now that is finely made!

[@mergrew0110]

These skills and many others were developed over countless generations and are in great danger of being lost. To see a younger person keeping at least one craft alive is so encouraging! All too often it is a person who is over 60 and the last in his line.

[@WitchcraftWhips]

Mergrew 01 I agree with you. I hope the craft will live on. That goes for other crafts as well. I try to support the whipmaking and braiding branch as much as I can. I'm a member of the Australian plaiters and whipmakers association and sadly there's not to many "younger" active members. Thanks for your encouragement!

[@mergrew0110]

Witchcraft Whips. You are very welcome! I'm a Woodturner, and try to pass on the art to others. However, computer games, girls and pressures of modern life make for very few youngsters being interested. Good luck for the future!

[@WitchcraftWhips]

Mergrew 01 The same to you!

[@elizabethwatson71]

I fell in love with your skiver! Beautiful work!

[@trevorbyron8181]

Probably the best video on whipmaking. Immaculate work

[@gustavorivero5071]

Добрый день. Подскажите способы соединить (нарастить) кожаную ленту?

[@griffinreitz7041]

Well done. Very nice work. Last one I make is close to 50 years old now. It's still hanging out in the shop. I get it down once in a while to see if I can still work it. Wish my hands would let me make them now, but I'm not real sure I remember how. I braided bull ropes, as a young man too. Sadly, I can't remember how to do those at all any more. Heck to get old, enjoy being young while you can !!

[@tradron]

I'm a newbi in this arena and am delighted to have found your site!

[@WitchcraftWhips]

That's wonderful. Really makes me glad to hear!

[@mandy.spages6142]

Very impressive! I admire your patience and craftsmanship ... Thanks for teaching/sharing.

[@WitchcraftWhips]

Thank you! There's more to it than whats in this video but almost 13 minutes is plenty to watch. :P Appreciate your comment Mandy! Cheers.

[@mandy.spages6142]

I know there definitely is much more. I make bags, and I'm still struggling with hidden steps that tutorials do not show. Currently, I am trying to master lacing. Having all the tools isn't enough, which I do, but the finesse with leather crafts come only with dedication and practice and finding those steps or methods that make each work unique, that which can never be emphasized enough or replicated in a tutorial. Again, impressive.

[@dichromanjb]

What a excellent video it shows the beauty of what you are doing so well.

[@wimvanstaden7525]

Wonderful work...Fascinating.

[@blainewarner1596]

Hi, I was hoping you might be able to help, I've done handle braiding/plaiting, Turks head knots, I can put an eye splice or a back splice in 3 strand twisted rope, and on a few things I've made, just little 3 braid handle loops but I'm interested in trying a diy quirt whip and most of the examples I see appear to have a loop that is plaits (belly?) braided around a core, then spliced back into those plaits (like an eye splice?) Before another layer of wrap (belly again?) is added to the handle. Can you point me to a good resource for how this core-d loop would be made?

[@AlfonseGambino]

He like the Bob Ross of whip crafting.

[@mihaibirton273]

I want to buy one like this 😍

[@mihail_sergeev]

How do you calculate the width of the stripes?

[@eugenfranz6462]

Hello, these devices with which you cut the strips to size, are they available to buy?

[@jonhunter8725]

Have you ever thought of using a mig welder liner as the in side core?

[@WitchcraftWhips]

I have not. For what purpose?

[@jonhunter8725]

You can pick old used ones that need to be replaced from the local welders for free. Basically it's a long thin flexible spring covered in a rubber casing. I just thought it may be worth trying.

[@thebriannanash]

This is one of the most awesome videos I’ve watched on making whips. The music sets the tone for sure. Timeless tradition. About how long would you say it takes you to make one whip? Roughly.

[@WitchcraftWhips]

Thank you Brianna! That's very kind of you. That's a though one that I get a lot! I need to prepare some kind of good answer one of these days.. But I'd say roughly 8-20 hours depending on length, plait count, pattern work etc. Hope that does it for your question! Thanks again.

[@Retrosigns1]

Incredible craftsmanship!!

[@thepompking8842]

Why is the last couple feet binded?

[@WitchcraftWhips]

That's part of the dyneema fall assembly which this whip had instead of a trad fall.

[@streetDAOC]

Craftsmanship! Very awesome.

[@cartooncontrarian7804]

If you don't mind my asking, I understand you're getting the diameter of the whip with that caliper, but why? Are you trying to figure out how thick each lace is going to have to be in order to get full coverage?
