7:24 what a champion. I have a super budget whip, its not very supple at all might try rolling it, & it certainly cant perform like that 😂 maybe i'll get a nice one someday. Very informative video 😊 i love whips bc theyre a symbol of mans manipulation of physics; its like a momentum machine, similar to firearms & cars even
Did you use BBs in this bullwhip?
Hello. How long is the whip?
How do you determine the length of the strands?

Generally I go for 1.5 times the length it'll be plaited plus a bit to be safe. But the amount of stretch etc needs to be considered as well.
these whips are amazing and i wish i could afford one. the one i want is $994 unfortunately.. maybe someday.
How long does it take you to make a whip?

Depends on the specs but 18-24h on average. A short low plait whip can take 4-5h and a collectors whips can take up to two weeks.

What is the exact name of the tool you're using when cutting the strands for the initial belly of the whip? Before its stretched and cut to size.
