This video is awesome!! I have been watching your videos for awhile now and I just changed the fall on a stock whip I have for the first time! Thanks Nick!
I will never get tired of learning new skills from a gorgeous man.
Thanks Nick. Quality content, a blend of art, skill, and tech. Love it. 👍🏼👍🏼
There's nothing better than whip making outside on a nice day
I’m new to whip cracking and my inexperience is hard on my whip. Thanks for the coaching to repair my whip.
That was very insiteful! I was like "yeah he's just going to use the needle and send it through..." Nope and here's why. Great info! Thanks!
Many thanks your video is helping me out.
Great vid, i have made my first whip now really pleased with it. On the fall hitch, i decided to whip the end with 1mm waxed thread rather than knots, as it a much smaller lump on the end and to replace later i just cut and remove the whipping add a new fall and whip again. I used a west country whipping technique.
Great video Nick!
Hey Nick! Love your videos. Could you please let me know how to set up a chevron pattern? Also, I hope to see you continue you "Plait this pattern" series. Keep up the great work :) I wouldn't be into whips if it weren't for you!
Very nice tuto,look so easy...thx
Hi! Great tutorial! I'm a whip newbie and thus wondered if I "wet" the cracker tassel end, would my whip crack easier & louder? It sure felt like that in the junior high school gym locker rooms with them ferocious wet towels!
Welcome to the world of whips, Tuck! The reason that the towels snapped better when they were wet is because it gave them some more weight which helps it move through the air more easily, similar to how you can throw a wet sponge much further than a dry one. If the whip is extremely light to begin with, then yes some water would help for sure. The whips made on this channel are built in such a way that they are already heavy enough, so adding water would just end up making it heavier, and wouldn't really help it crack any easier. Thanks for watching!
I already bought two whips sadly not from you Nick because you are so busy and won't be selling but I made some cool crackers out of spider wire boy are they reliable 8 inch body 2 inch tassel but I'm not sure how long they should be and I seen a video of your falls being a certain length this one's only about a ft long yours are two, anyways love your videos you're my idol can't wait to purchase a whip from you in the future hopefully I can find a way to contact you in July if you are still making those beautiful masterpieces !
helpful video. thank you so much Nick
Very good information!
Thanks!
I never thought of replacing falls like this. I should try it next time i need to replace a fall. How often would you recommend replacing a fall?
dark96744 just when it gets to short or if it is damaged.
I luv your videos, thank you for being so amazingly awesome to explain things that a novice can understand! Please keep them coming. What leather conditioner do you suggest for whips?
Thanks Geri! I prefer Pecard leather conditioner.
Do you have a video on how to replace a fall on a whip that ends in a tapered twist?
Sir I bought a Indiana Jones whip on BUDK and I started playing with it inside the house in the hallway I made it snap three times and the little string with a ball fell off and the whip became unbraided is this normal? About 3 in of the whip became unbraided and I put red tape on there so it won't progress and also the whip is leather and it came really dry like falling apart is that normal for leather whips? I put coconut oil on it but in two days it got dried up again. Thank you awesome video by the way thank you for sharing I never knew there were night long whips do you sell them?
i had the same problem about the tunnel closing. this makes it way easier. and i think thats why i had problems with the hitch coming apart. because i forced the needle through and it wouldnt be as strong as a newly braided hitch
Just wondering do you think a nylon fall like The one you have shown will work on a leather whip ?
Yes, but you may need to make it longer to compensate for the heavier end of the leather whip relative to nylon.
Hey Nick! How do you know when to use different numbers of strands while plaiting? I.e. When do you do a 12 plait as opposed to 8 plait? Or when to use 16 or 18 plait?
7:51 Hahaha, thats me!!! :D
Hey nick what brand 550 paracord do you use? I always have so much trouble making a fall because my 550 paracord is narrower than yours apparently.
Also do you use bolsters for nylon whips ever? If so, what are they made of
Try Paracord.com great selection of Paracord it has vast amounts of colors, patterns, and sizes. Also if you are using a permalock needle to feed through; if it is one you just bought in the store, you will notice that the tip is swelled up so that could be your problem.
Thanks! I used a grinder to smooth down the swell and it is so much easier to make a fall now!
I use Hobby Lobby paracord 550. I'm pretty sure they're their own brand. It's wide enough for loading BBs and for making falls. Plus, with the digital coupons, it makes it around the same price that 500 or 1000 feet would be (per foot).
Tanks Nick
Welcome!
Hi Nick!!
What if you thread a needle on the old fall while you pull it out? That way the needle is in the correct orientation and can be used to pull the new one through.
Sterling Hamilton he said it closes up a bit and is easier to do it the other way
How do you thread the paracord in itself to make the fall if you don't have a paracord fid?
Some people will use a paper clip wrapped around the piece to be threaded. It'll work, but I feel like there's a chance for the clip to catch on some of the cord. Might fray some of it.
Nick! I need to find a video on how to create a hitch onto my unwoven whip. Any suggestions? I am desperate..
Hi Kayla, this will help. th-cam.com/video/QMewygC4Rws/w-d-xo.html
Skip to the 43 minute mark.
Wait... I may have misunderstood. Can you send me a photo of the whip in progress?
@@NicksWhipShop How do I send you a photooooooo
@@kaylapoujade8029 you can email me nickwschrader@gmail.com or through the nickswhipshop facebook page.
I was wondering, if I wanted to make a 9 foot bullwhip but I can't get sinker cord for whatever reason, would gutted 550 paracord work as a substitute?
I just made a 6 foot whip and Ill tell you, if you are planning on doing shot loaded core (bunch of BBs) they wont fit or will be extreamly difficult. I got a 10 foot section of 1/4 inch nylon cord at walmart which worked pretty well. it was only $4. i won't guarentee it will be at other walmarts though
bicycle brake cable makes a great c
ore....
How do you make your crackers?
aprox how long do you make a fall (finished) for a 8+ foot whip
when is the next whip meet
Rather than cut the loop on the old fall and fuse the new fall to it, why not loop the old fall off the whip, then grab the end of the new fall with the loop of the old fall and draw it through that way?
Can you make a video of how to make an 8 foot snake whip
do you have a video on
Yeah, i didn't have enough length on one of the stragglers to tie off. So i improvised. I took one of the ends, pulled it out far enough to double knot the fall to it, and simply melted the knot ends into it. Not confident enough to unbraid it just to aquire the appropriate length. Seems to be working fine for now😅. FYI, this IS NOT one of yours respectively.
Does anybody know how deep you need to fill the sinker cord with bbs on a 16 plait 8 ft whip?
And how do you start each belly? ( 1st belly 2nd and overlay)
Based on what nick says in his vids and my calculations, on an 8 ft whip you should put about 21.5 inches of bbs into it
Is that right?
litterly just did it on a 9ft, bit under halfways
I have a solid leather fall , so poking a hole in it to put the whip on it won't work.
Hey Nick, I made a response video for you about how you inspired me to start making whips. Could you check it out? It's unlisted so I'd need to give you a link.
I can do tricks. I call them "Nick's whip tricks"
You've got some hairy arms bro. Lol
Hahahahaha and you some ugly dirty finger nails
