I love the simplified methods you use here! This is so cool, I haven't watched your video from 3 years ago, I'm gonna watch that now. It makes me want to throw my hat in the ring and do a WhipWorks version, you'd get a shoutout of course ;-) Thanks for the great content!
You make it look SOOOO EASY cracking that whip. I made this version and tried to crack it a couple times....but not before I "Indiana Jonesed" myself a few times, kinda bummed out
This is pretty cool! I made Adam Winrich's instant bullwhip so I recognize a lot of the same concept here, but good thinking! I like the use of paracord instead of the twisted nylon rope Adam used. Good work!
thank you so much! i made this whip and have nicknamed it the "lightning rod" because it literally makes your ears ring when you crack it! wonderful tutorial.
Hootyhoo; how's it goin bud? It's Scott; Glad to see ya & you look like you've been busy / lookin fit; good on you... so I just wanted to comment in reguards to this method of mfg. ; #1; Nick, & Adam along w/ other colleges of yours (I'm sure) arn't gonna like this video! " ITS THE ELECTRICAL TAPE THING AS YOU - WELL KNOW...😂😁😄😅 2ndly; I think its fantastic that you've put this together and out there specifically for those newbies; pretty cool of you; this will get more people into this 'sport' ?? (I guess you'd call it). You've just made it sound better to just get one of these whips made ; quick & easy; some folks may not really get into it once they've thrown one together. I personally don't mind that.... 3rdly; you've just given me an outlet for my frustration in that I have a friend whom keeps buggin me ; he wants me to build a whip for him ; I already know that he won't appreciate it if I were to do so...; and now I can just send him right to this video n introduce him to you & your simplified tech. I will say that I'm better off having learned from you some time ago; as you may recall I built my very first whip watching your paracord whip tutorial a few years ago; you were so against the use of elec.tape in the whip even alittle just using it in the very beginning on the handle and or the turks head knot... not so much it being your rules but more so think along the lines of peir pressure as far as teaching someone else how to... Nice to see you've gotten beyond that "somewhat"; I know that it's still important to you ethically on your own P.C. whips... I'd like to think so anyway. Anyways; COOL, COOL. GOOD job on this video the length and the ease of understandability. Although you did throw me off when you started to go to the floor showing how to set up for the taper & you went right to it ; I was expecting you to set up for plating n the whole 9 yards... " you got me!"😂😀 Anyhow glad your still up to vid. creation . THANKS , VERY ENTERTAINING. Scott Outta Wa. 😎 🙈🙉🙊 P.S.: I ain't sayin shit ( to anyone ) about the tape !!!😆
Hi Scott, great to hear from you! I’m happy to hear you find this vid helpful for your friend. As for the tape, I only have an issue when whip makers use it to take shortcuts in order to make quick buck. Otherwise, e-tape is great for a making a crude whip in a pinch, and I don’t care if others have issue. They should know me well enough by now, and that quality is one of my top priorities in whip making.
@@caliberwhips9595; YEP, I was chuckling to myself the whole time as I wrote earlier about the E .T . issue ! I recall very clearly that this was a big part of what I took away w/me from your toutorials that's why it was my #1 in my last post. & thank you reaffirming and clarifying your position; you made the whole issue on doing shortcuts in whip building for easy $$$ in your point of view to be unethical . I feel really positive when I can see a person exhibiting good morals in what they're passionate about. I'm pretty sure this is why I made my choice in the first place to go w/ your channel in the begin of my 1st Bull Whip. Oh yeah I'm glad I remembered; I've been wondering your opinion on which do you feel is an easier whip for a beginner; the Bull whip or the Stock whip as I've thought of making a whip for my younger Brother. He's definitely not a kid but I think he feels a little intimidated; (though he would never admit it) to this day he has avoided picking one up (around me). Sad to say thinking about it now; is it's probably his apprehension AROUND ME!?! (BEING HIS OLDER BROTHER)!?! He doesn't want to fall short on his crackability around me (if that's even a term or a statement) (guess so ; I just made it) cause he's pobably concerned I'm gonna flip him shit if he has any difficulty what so ever. That sucks! I just realize something bout myself and my influence on him. Ive been trying make up for this my whole grown part of my life... what a pain in The @$$... Dang sorry bout being so long winded. Anywho; Thx. For the leason; SENSAY. 😉 J.K. Scott Outta Wa.
Instead of cutting the ends 6 inches for each pair you could make them offset by that much when securing them in the first place, that would be easier and faster and would lead to you not having a bunch of 6 inch trash pieces.
Update: i now have 2 6ft whips because i measured for that. I can do multiple cracks and my whips just need more tape from time to time (obviously new crackers and falls). Thankyou so much!
If I want to make a 14 foot whip would I simply just need to double the lengths of cordage you mentioned or would the strands of cordage still need to whittle all the way down to 2ft?
1" gaffer or hockey/athletic tape works quite a bit better over electrical. The cloth based tapes and their adhesives don't break down over time the same way the electrical tape does.
Hi! Could you please research a mystery object known as a roman dodecahedron, and see if you think it might have been useful for constructing leather whips - thank you!
Be Careful! I had a good friend slap himself in the face with a bullwhip. Luckily, it narrowly missed his left eye!!! He had a Serious Scar for quite a while. I guess it didn't keep him out of the FBI though!!!
@@applecabuguas6757I will try and maybe go Indiana Jones and what I would do is throw a golden idol project at them and when they pick it up I'll bring out the whip and say "THAT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!"
Where is the explanation of the ball chain? I see a moment where it gets attached but I don’t see anything regarding where it goes? Is it with the parachute cord strands?
This looks so great for peeps on a really tight budget - like me haha. Would it still work if you just staggered the paracord so that it didn't need cutting thus saving money and time? I imagine I would need to subtract some inches in order to get the desired length whip.
I did it! I made one and it works! Is it perfect? No, but it works. I especially struggled with the first knot in the 14ft cord (your hands were a obstructing the knot a bit when making it), attaching the ballchain (it didnt stick to my tape) and wrapping the tape (tape wasn't colaborating). After trying it a few times I do notice that the tape breaks at certain points but you can just reinforce that with more tape!
I literally ran out and got the supplies the same day I saw this. Mine turned out pretty good (although it took a lot longer than 30 mins) 😂 I only cracked it for like 15 mins though before I noticed the electrical tape was already starting to break apart towards the end of the whip. Should I wrap it more?? I did two layers. Maybe three. I can’t remember.
@@caliberwhips9595 ; RIGHT? Glad to see there's still others who remember the old you... I still think back to how your MOM was gettin On you bout getting on w/ you life & "career" I do think the mfg. Deal could be a good way to go; but your gonna get so much more life experience the route you've gone. Ok ; I'm out LATE Scott Outta Wa.
@@Psilomuscimol A bull can cause lots of injury if you work near them, we did had a farmer who got killed by one. Even dispite they gued tennis balls on its horn.
Amazingggggg....a electric tape bull whip...wow..totally amazing. I wonder tho how long would it last cracking everyday.?????? One month??? Two months??? I wonder...buttttt,,,it actually works..I can't wait to build one.
Thanks for the video! I am going to try and modify your process a bit to try and come up with a 60" or so baby snake/signal whip to test a usage for the whip. If it works I may invest in a more expensive/permanent whip, but I want to prove my idea before investing in something more expensive. I need something I can pocket easily and still get a good loud crack out of. Any advice for me? I'd appreciate it.
I like your voice and I want it perfect. I also read the whip wikis to understand all the stuff better. And to get the general idea of whip making overall. Im gonna use bbs though because I have a lot of them.
I was also thinking it would be fun to braid electical cables into a taper and make a copper frayed cracker. I have plenty of scrap cables. Different sizes and some are pretty flexible
