English is not my first language so I'm not sure what exactly is the product you refer throughout this series as athletic tape. ¿Is it tape meant to be applied on the skin to shape muscles and avoid in recovery from injury? ¿Is it meant to be used on the handles of bats, sticks, rakets and other sport equipment to provide grip? ¿Is it specifically meant for the striking part of hokey sticks to add a ton of grip? I don't know what I'll be able to get my hands upon, ¿perhaps would all of the described products work well for whip making? ¿Would surgical tape work?
This series was so good to watch!! I've never had a bullwhip but i want one but there is no way i could make one!! So on your etsy store can you choose custom colours? And do you recommend a 6ft for a beginner? Im 6ft myself and 100kgs if that matters. P.s the amount of detail and perfection you put into these whips is amazing definitely pushed me over the line to get one now thanks 👍
Hey Brad, thank you! I do offer custom bullwhips where you choose 2 colors and a handle design! You can design your own bullwhip on my website if you'd like: www.whipworks.com/design-bullwhip
And my favorite all around bullwhip length is a 7 footer with a 10 or 12 inch handle, but a 6 footer would also be great as a first whip! Feel free to reach out if you have any question, adam@whipworks.com
Hi! I love your content and your whips. Thank you for your Toturial series, I recently purchased the full template pack. Are you also planning templates for your floggers? If not, would a 1on1 be possible?
Hey Rene, Thank you! I don't actually make the floggers any more, they don't really sell for the price I need to for how long they take me to make. Feel free to message me via etsy or instagram if you have any questions, maybe I'll be able to answer for you.
@@whipworks4468 Thanks, Adam! I was thinking there might be a special way to break it in…like only going half-speed for so many cracks then gradually increasing power/speeding up, etc. or doing so many cracks of a certain kind then switching to another crack to balance out the roll out. Just over thinking it! HAHA!
Waxing is not crucial, but it gives the whip a water resistant layer that helps protect the whip. It also gives the whip a professional looking matte finish that I like!
These are going to be jumbled, but are questions I was wondering about throughout the process and figured I would ask them here after I finished binging the whole series. 1: Why do you use electrical tape, athletic tape, carpet backing and medical tape when you could use silicon epoxy and cloth? Similarly, why not just worm, parcel and serve the whole of the whip core after every section of plait you finish? 2: When you drop the cords and incorporate them into the core of the whip's design, why didn't you splice them into the core and then feather them out to create smoother transitions? 3: Was there a reason why you didnt concentrically crown the whole of the whip core instead of plaiting it? If so, what was it? 4: When fabricating the weighted core, why not just use sand and then heat treat the whole of the outside of the core to effectively shrink wrap the sand into place? 5: When fully fabricated, what is the approximate weight of the whip? 6: When are you going to elaborate on the estranged superstitions of whip makers? That sounds odd yet fascinating.
Some very good finishing details observed there, thanks!
I finised it today :) It's great need to replace waxed poper... but it still cracks even beter now... :D

I don't know what I'll be able to get my hands upon,

¿Would surgical tape work?
Both of these tapes will work great! any textile based tape, so hockey tape or athletic injury wrapping tape will be perfect
@@whipworks4468 thank you, hope I get the chance to build one

Do you have a faceplait link for your jokester whip handle pattern?
I do not! That's a good idea to add to the blueprints I offer though
Hey, Adam! Is there anything special you need to do to “break-in” a new whip? Or can you just start crackin’? Any insight would be fantastic! Thanks!!
Honestly, I think cracking it is the best way to break it in! Especially if it's waxed, give it a little time to break down a bit

Hey I seen you waxed your glow in the dark whip, is waxing a crucial step to do and what difference does waxing a whip make?
Waxing is not crucial, but it gives the whip a water resistant layer that helps protect the whip. It also gives the whip a professional looking matte finish that I like!
Great video. Sometimes your head gets in the way.
