I have never seen it explained as you have in this video. Well done my friend, I like how you instruct us on the "why" of what you do.

It's an issue that effects many, he's not just a member of the kinky whip club...but he's also the president. Great video thx.

This video just changed my freaking life man. Thank you for breaking it down Barney Style for us. I've been making these for a little over a year and a half, and I FINALLY understand what I've been doing wrong this whole time. Thank you. No. Seriously. THANK YOU NICK. Your videos have kept me sane during the pandemic, and have subsequently made me the coolest dad in the neighborhood. You rock.

I want to take the time to say thank you . I enjoyed your educational tutorials , they seem to address problems or questions and I appreciate you ability and knowledge. And the fact you share it with others .

Making it simpler is the best way... I thank you for this video... I'm disabled and I've been working on a whip for about 4 months... I'm just about ready to finish it... I enjoy your work... Kenn

Thanks for watching Kenneth!

What brings me joy is the abundance of different hobbies people have. I never even knew there was a whip community until I found this video trying to look for a review on a BMX (Kink BMX Whip)

Still relevant in 2020 Working on my 1st whip now and noticed some kinks in the second belly. I'm not discouraged and will do the overlay. Next whip will be better. Thanks Nick!

I have been wondering about this area for transition for some time, thanks for showing this. About 10 years ago I made a duct tape whip and actually ran into these problems, and though I knew it was never going to be a "really good whip" I found out many of the construction problems that go along with any whip construction...

I love this video because it teachers you how to make your own whips and not just blindly following a tutorial

I’m learning a lot between you and Bernie Keep it up

thank you! great video! really learned a lot. its great to see your updated techniques over time. not to mention the effort put in to this video really shows. well done. love the channel!

Nick, thanks for your superb videos! How long should a fall and crack be on a 6ft and a 8ft?

You mentioned Bernie...Bernie46 from KZread? I love his work and videos! Thanks for the video, I love how much information you put into these. I'm following your instructions for my 8' bull, black with red accents (not my first whip, so I've ot a littler experience). Only major difference from your design is that I'm using BB loaded 550 inside my sinker cord, while you just load the BBs strait into your core (I had some loaded 550 from a previous whip). it makes the core a little stiffer, but not by much, plus it keeps it a bit neater IMO. Thanks again though for your videos, I've learned almost all my knowledge from Bernie46 and you!

Thanks Aron, yes I was referring to Bernie46. I learned so much from his helpful videos as well.

Question: when dropping strands on the belly, do you have to just leave it sticking out, or can you use the method for dropping on the overlay and tuck it down along the core and plait over it?

i have recently watched one of you videos on how to make a bull whip and in this video you contradict your self on what to do when finishing a belly, and whether or not you should use tape. so what would you suggest when finishing a belly and should i use tape?

I like the intro Nick!

Great video. Looking forward to more.

I have a handmade paracord whip with a metal rod as a base for the handle.Where the whip bends at the end of the rod the paracord is loosening and pulling apart a slight bit should i do this to fix it or what?

Ok going to ask what is the artificial sinu and where do i get it

do you wrap the whole length of the bellies using sinew? And do you only use hockey tape for the transition point?

i use a bicycle brake cable as a core. fantastic energy transfer and not a single buckle..,.

You could say this was a very "Kinky" episode!

My main problem is the transitions between bindings. I think my application of tension is getting better though. I use medical fabric tape, single pass. Seems like it takes the wax ok.

Can u wrap too tight and should u push up on you plating when you r plating

Good work

Can you update us when you change a method? It always helps. Keep up the good work.😉

Wth? The very first video of yours I saw, you wrapped the entire rod and slinky/bb core with electrical tape, followed by artificial sinew. Should I forget all of that now?

Nick I have always wondered if you could make a pair of nunchucks the same way you make your whip handles if so could you make a pair in a video so I can watch you and learn how I have used nunchucks for a very long time and would like to add a Paracord pair to my collection

@briancambell5976

It'd be the same as plaiting over the handle. Then you could do a Turks head knot or similar at the ends of each handle. Honestly, I think it's a great idea and I might just do it to my wooden nunchucks .

Thanks again sir

I wondered if you could help, i am making my first whip, i want to use cloth tape, in UK its really not easy to get hockey tape, but i have found an adhesive cloth tape called car loom tape, used in wiring car electrical looms. It comes in 25m length rolls, how many rolls do you think i would need for a 6ft whip?

You may just need to make sure your plaiting it tight enough. Very small gaps are fairly normal, but they shouldn't be getting bigger. Try waxing your whip as well that should help a lot.

I stopped using tape in my whips except for the handle i use athletic tape on my steel hamdles to make them have a surface with friction so my paracord doesn't slide around on the handle other than that i use sinew to bind my core strands, which i use 1/4" sinker cord on a 1/4" rod and I use sinew to bind the core like Mr.Winrich does. Ive been baving good experiences with that

How are u trying to attach? I've never needed a needle to attach a fall.

somewhat of a dumb/odd question, but I just recently saw the wrist loop tutorial and really like the 4 strand flat plait it may take some thinking (something my job gives me no time for these days) but would it be possible (likely using your lacing needle or something) to weave the flat plait in on itself similar to a Turks head (though preferably as a single pass instead of 2 layered side by side like a turks) and have that as a finishing/ferrule-holding knot? (that could in itself be the very definition of a Turks head, but I've had no sleep so forgive me if it is xD) as always great video :)

Buying From a Hobby Store in smallest amounts not intending to buy bulk to save money ... Id say about $50 for Everything Shown in one of Nick's How to Videos... But you will be left with enough of the other materials besides para-cord to make a few more whips. I am on my Second Whip and Still have not run out of the para-cord Either... SO I assume you would save $20 if you did the math before hand and purchased just enough para-cord for one whip... For labor ... I have been Averaging about 3-4hours per belly with a gradual learning curve speeding me up (8'-10'). Amazon is your Friend ... you can save money if you shop around... It is Quite Zen to listen to Podcasts / Audio Books and Make Whips ... Thanks Nick for all your Videos.

My whip building methods have changed drastically over the years. The intent of this video is to inform everyone of that fact, and share a more efficient building technique as well as make it known that the use of tape in a whip can be greatly improved with the help of some additional materials - artificial sinew as seen in the tutorial. I did not mean to confuse anyone Sean, hope this clears things up.

I created my first whip following your bullwhip tutorial now that I'm done I seen this video which contradicts a lot of the stuff out of your tutorial video.
