Watched your video from 2013 on how to make a bull whip. Today I finished the first 2 layers. Gonna get some sleep and finish up tomorrow. Thanks for the videos!
Nick, your videos have helped me tremendously. I have made i believe about 15 nylon whips all using your methods and im hooked. I am having some difficulty with diamond plaiting but still love whip making very much. Thanks for all your tutorials and advice. Also you are very thorough with your instructional videos. Awesome job
Making a 6 foot bullwhip with interwoven blue EL (LED) wire. Definitely gonna try out this harringbone knot! Great tutorial Nick, greatly appreciate the pace you go at and as always, your relaxing voice always keeps me focused on what you're doing!
Seriously, I am so grateful to you for making these long step by step videos showing all details and explaining every step. I have always had a love for whips since I was a young boy, but never even held one before. Soon I will be making my first bullwhip once all the stuff arrives. Thank again for all your knowledge that you shared with everyone.
Thank you for this tutorial. Let me try to give back to you now. My last 3 whips, I've been using rubber leg tips for the foundation. They come in 4 packs at any hardware store and different sizes. Your choice of staples, one wrap of hockey tape, a video of yours on which knot and off you go...lol. They're great for conchos too.
The only thing I wouldn't recommend about these though is the fact that they probably cost a lot more than bulk leather. I could probably make 50 leather foundations out of only a few big pieces of leather for about the same price as what a couple 4 packs of leg tips would cost.
@@MrJdmboy10 The price is about $3 dollars a pack and 2 were used on 2 whips I sold for over $200. It's always fun to experiment though and sometimes an extra dollar may be worth it or sometimes not.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I fish a lot and have been interested in wrapping my own pliers (I love anything pink and aqua). This tutorial helped me make the bottom wrap of the pliers handles instead of the Turks head wobble which leaves it more exposed
Nice video mate! Exactly what I was looking for. We go into lockdown for 4 weeks here in New Zealand in about 24 hrs, and I've got a load of paracord ready to go. I got into whip making because of your videos, so thanks!
Great tutorial on how to tie and expand a TH on the end of a spherical object. I’ve been tying and expanding on mandrels for some time but never on the end of a handle; same process but from a different perspective. Taking your time allows me to relate your moves to what I’m used to doing. Some presenters move too quickly which makes it a bit difficult to follow, even if one is familiar with the knot. Your lighting is also very good, which can also be a fault in some videos. Thanks for sharing your expertise. Donald.
I started making whips bc of ur video lol.......I probably rewinded the video a dozen times, and when I finally finished it, I realized I had made the awesomest and shittiest whip ide ever seen lol I was hooked and been kinda following along and comin up with my own stuff here and there and I've had alot of fun the past few years building much better whips and not needing to watch a video to guide me thru it lol anyhow long time listener first time caller thanx for the all the tutorials I dont no what I'd do if I couldn't twist up a whip and clear the mind
thanks for all of the work you put into these videos for us, but i have a question, how do you know how long to cut the strands for bellies, and the overlay?
When using white paracord, is there anything special you do during day the waxing process to ensure the white doesn’t dull, fade, or other colors bleed into it?
It doesn't work like it. The 3rd colour would break the pattern of the second. Herringbone Knots are quite complex. The second knot here is not the same turkshead. It is a sobre one vs. the regular first. It means it is an inverted version of the first one. With the first 7L 6B turkshead the standing part is coming out under it's own bight. With the white, second one the standing part is lying over its own bight. That is what makes this knot possible.
I'm a bit confused on materials. Do I need stuff with adhesive backsides? The items listed in the description dont have that. Do I want adhesive neoprene and pleather?
I don't know how to make either knot I just started waxing my whips. My 18' indy whip is much smoother after waxing but dam is it a workout to get moving. I'm gonna find the turks head knot video to give that a try first. You're a great teacher, Nick I love the videos
Hey there, I got a question related to your very successful 6ft bullwhip tutorial from 2013: As for the last layer of the whip you use 6 strands of paracord (20 20 19 14 9 5) and I got myself about 250ft black and a bit over 80ft red paracord as I want the whip to be in that color combination. So my question is, which strands (according to your braiding shown in the video) should be red and black to result in a quite nice pattern? As this is my first attempt ever I really don't have any clue :/ Thanks in advance for your help :)
Any color on any size cord will create the same effect you’re going for, as long as you’re consistent with the pattern design and there’s equal number of strand for both colors, length won’t matter

I've finally found the Bob Ross of paracord weaving. Thank you for your service, sir.
"Just a little tiny pull there"
Nick is the Bob Ross of whip making. I love it!!
All we need is a twitch stream through the whole weekend just Nick working on a whip!
I really enjoyed your video and the way you do the real-time. I did the whole whip, no problem! And your pretty handsome!
You have come a long way and improved your videos a lot. So much more professional. Congrats

Thanks for watching, and good luck!
@@NicksWhipShop finished my whip. Looks and works amazing. Played with it for hours today.
Finally! Now You need to learn the Type 1 Pineapple Knot. It is even simpler, and very convenient for covering hemispherical elements.

Very helpful Nick! Thank you, this was the first time I was able to tie this knot
Glad it helped!
Thank you, Nick! Keep up the great work.
Thanks Mason!
Man, you’ve missed your calling. You’d make a great narrator! You made that super easy to understand a very complicated knot. Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much for making these videos and your optimistic attitude. I finished my first whip thanks to your tutorials 2 days ago!

Excellent video Nick! I wish I had this when I learned this knot! That overhead rig worked great!!
Thank you Christian!
halo' have you link for herringbone in three colors????
Top-notch tutorial, as always! Much appreciated.
Great video it just helped me do a proper turks head.
Maybe a cow whip next
Thank you my friend. I love this knot and may use it for all my whips.
Oh and you need to come down and warm up. Lol
You're welcome! As soon as this all passes, I will be there!
fine work very clear thank you
Excellent video Nick. Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial.
Hey Nick, nice knot. Also, could you make a tutorial on a 6 ft snake whip?
Thanks Chris! If you use the strand lengths for a 6ft bullwhip, it will be perfect for a snakewhip also.
thanks for all of the work you put into these videos for us, but i have a question, how do you know how long to cut the strands for bellies, and the overlay?
Just in time for our lockdown cheers nick
You're welcome Paul, same here.
When using white paracord, is there anything special you do during day the waxing process to ensure the white doesn’t dull, fade, or other colors bleed into it?
In my experience the colors don't ever bleed into the whites. I just make sure to keep the wax dirt-free and all has been ok so far.
I've gotta make one of those whips
Nick: “use something other than your fingers to Press the melted para cord”
Me imagining using my head
Thanks brother, I'm gonna add that to my repertoire :)
You're welcome!
I found a 2mm crochet hook works too it just take a little more time
This is also called the pineapple knot I think. I've always liked this one.
With the same procedure be done to add a third color?
Hi Dennis, I'm working on this idea. Not sure yet.
It doesn't work like it. The 3rd colour would break the pattern of the second. Herringbone Knots are quite complex. The second knot here is not the same turkshead. It is a sobre one vs. the regular first. It means it is an inverted version of the first one. With the first 7L 6B turkshead the standing part is coming out under it's own bight.

Your voice and cadence makes me think of Bob Ross...
Fell swoop
Took me 9 hours but I got it. 🤯🤯🤯😴😴😴
So why is it called a 5 x 4 knot, or a 7 x 6 ?
Got the stuff ready to do this. And.....I realized I don't have a fid. Damn near impossible to do this without a fid. I gave up.
Whips.... since I'm stuck in doors, I want to start a new kangaroo hyde whip.
is that a snake whip?
Hey Nick what happened to your Facebook page? I can't find it

You sound like a very calm Tom Cruise.
