How do I buy? What are your whips a long time ago? When you made your first tutorial, I've followed it. I still have that whip, But it is old and sloppy now I would love to have One of your Latest creations
I don't know if this is just a certain whip/whip material trait, but I recall a whip demonstration when I was younger, where a big point of the thing was him showing that when he cracks the whip, there was almost always a sizeable small cloud of smoke where the cracker broke the sound barrier. He explained this to us as the cracker moving through the air so fast when it's breaking the sound barrier, that it actually starts burning the oxygen around it for a very small period of time. I want to say that it was a 12' leather whip (he was a circus performer/lion tamer as he said), but I was just wondering if hat he said is accurate, and if so, do nylon whips like these replicate that as well? And if it isn't so, maybe what kind of parlor trick he was doing? This was all on a very well lit indoor stage, though, so that may have something to do with it. I'm nostalgic for those days and I want to actually create a whip capable of that
Has anyone noticed he is using completely 2 different whips in this video? At 8:00-8:30 he goes from the whip he is braiding with artifical sinew binding to a whip that does not even have binding! And then again hits the switch at 21:40-21:50 he goes from a binded whip to a whip that is not even binded! What is going on here?

My name is Paul from Alabama. I like this content. I also consider myself to be a artist and crafter. You also inspired me with the music from Help Hounds. But this whip making really caught my attention. I am going to try and start making whips. My braiding experience is mainly macrame. I am excited that making whips will carry me into a new braiding experience. Thanks for your channel!!!.
This video made me want to frickin cry.... 😭 I had this EXACT SAME whip. Im not talking similar. I mean EXACT. It ended up getting stolen from me sever years ago and i miss that whip so much. I still have 2 bullwhips but nothing handled like that indy... I still look for it frequently on various forums, marketplaces, and websites that sell used whips. I doubt ill ever see it again but man... Id love to have it back. Some people really suck 😞 to anyone reading this, be careful who you trust and know that people can turn on you faster than a wild animal...
Hi, I just made my first 8ft bullwhip with this tutorial and the current method video. Man Ilove it❤, I am now trying to learn to crack it. I'm so grateful for this content and all your work. Honored to follow your instructions and to listen to your beautyful voice. Regards and a hug from Chile. -Ignacio
Hey Nick my brother I am near completion of my first whip and I would like to send you some photos for critiques and I think your going to want to see it I did a crazy couple Extra's please let me know where I can send the photos thanks.
HA! I have the link to this video, time stamped at about 12:12, copied onto my cutnpaste cheat sheet because I use it so often (clients ask me for it a lot). Too bad you don't get a nickel for every time....wait....um.... OKAY, EVERYBODY! Like, comment, and if you're feeling froggy, subscribe! Boy's gotta eat! ;)
I purchased an 8ft kangaroo leather bullwhip. It came with a tapered leather fall with cracker. The fall was 26" and the cracker was 12". I was able get a crack using only the cattleman's crack and only then when using significant effort. I shorted the fall to 24" and the cracker to 8" per your video. Whip performs cracks significantly better now. Thank you.
I want to try this, but where I live (over here in Belgium) it's not easy to find the right type of cord. Especially sinker cord seems to be hard to find. Is it similar to coreless 650 paracord? I can also find 750 or 1250 locally and I could take out the core myself if that would be better. Does anyone have some words of wisdom for me?
