Brilliant idea🙂 I am.making my first paracord bullwhip is there such a thing as plating to tightly? I am near the last few and worried i may have made it too stiff near the fall hitch area from pulling em all so tight? The tension is evenly tapered but the thin area does not have a lot of weight and was not sure if being stiff near the fall.hitch was good or bad?😟 i have enough chord to make it longer so it flexes more but don't know if that is a good or bad idea 6 foot bull whip last foot and 1/2 or so can hold it self fairly straight if i let it hang off the table🤷
Awesome video! I’ve only made nylon whips, in which the paracord are thicker than leather strands. Therefore everytime I executed double strand drops, the thong tended to bulken up at the drop. Ever since I have executed single strand drops, but that affects the esthetic appearance of the plaiting.. any ideas Johnny? 🧐
Well I don't know much about nylon but you'll primarily have that problem when you drop strands on top of a hard surface with no give. For example if you're dropping on top of your belly braid. If however you drop over the strand ends from the belly the dropped strands will blend in with the core strands and shouldn't leave a bulge. A soft bolster material could help out, but i know bolstering nylon whips ain't common. And it might be a bad idea but maybe cutting the strand open (making it flatter) right where you drop it could work. Given there's enough strength left in it to keep it secure. But again, I don't know.
Witchcraft Whips I also gave that idea a thought - cutting the strands open! However then I won’t be able to get a good grip to tighten it later on.. I have been thinking really hard about how to craft the perfect nylon whip, and my idea is to remove all internal bellies. I am currently working on this bullwhip now where the steel handle core will be directly underneath the overlay, with a thin coating of a grippy adhesive rubber material, providing sufficient grip for the overlay. When it comes to the transition, I am wotking on a tapered steel cable, which will add a tapered ridgidity and stiffness without the neccesity of binding. I will add small Tungsten BBs with high density around the cable, in a descreasing manner, all the way down to the fall hitch area. The whole core is going to be coated with the same adhesive rubber material to provide a soft surface for double strand drops. According to my calculations, this whip will weigh around 3-5 lbs if the space is used efficiently to load weight in it.

Just what I was looking for. Thanks for this video, Johnny!
Johnny That’s a sweet trick!!!
VALUABLE information, cant wait to employ it in the future, THANK YOU for making such pertinent videos with so much good information in them.
Well, that's a pretty neat method! Thank you very much for sharing :D
