Hi friends, in this video Adam Winrich shows us how to make a very simple “Bare Bones” 6 1/2ft, 16 plait 550 nylon paracord bullwhip which requires no waxing, no Turk’s Head knots, no tape, and no gutting of the primary paracord strands. It’s a great build for beginners because of the minimal tools and materials required, and is also great for seasoned whipmakers looking for a quick build that requires only a couple of hours to make and cracks well. Many people around the world know Adam primarily for his impeccable whip cracking abilities, but some may not be aware that he is also a top-notch whipmaker, and remains one of the greatest (in both synthetic and leather) whipmakers that I have ever known. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the build!

Was almost arrested at the Calgary stampede a decade ago for having and using a 15ft bullwhip. Was forced to put it in the garbage (which I later grabbed back). The people loved it, the police notsomuch....
For having a fun with it or just having it?
This is so cool... of all the years of watching TH-cam, I have never watched a video that was not only from my home town, but also something that fascinates me and that I am going to try some day. You guys are awesome, thank you.
This is by far thee best whip making method I’ve found so far, like Nick said it’s the cheapest and quickest way to make a fine whip, that even Harrison ford would be proud to use and own.🎉
Thanks to both of you guys! I became fascinated with whips after seeing Adam perform at the Az ren festival last year. And then I randomly came across
Nicks micro bullwhip video about a month ago. In that time, I’ve built two bullwhips, 3.5ft and 5.5ft, a performance hybrid 4.5ft, and a 3.5ft snake whip. It’s a new hobby that my
Son and I are really enjoying! Thank you!
dear nick, thanks much for sharing this information. my second whip was a 4ft snakewhip, using your 2018 method, and it came out nicely. subsequently i received my first request for a whip. my go-to is the bare bones (for now) as it is a time saver. i learned so much, making a bare bones for the second time. much appreciated. i hope that the two of you are well.
Great to see both of you collaborating together again.
I watched the video then got straight on to making one. Definitely a "bare bones" whip.
I made a whip in the past with 2 ungutted bellies but not an overlay but will try in the future.
For those who like to save on waste (like me) these are the lengths i used with about a foot (300mm) to play with at the end.
Overlay
1st - 21.5ft or 6.55m
2nd - 20ft or 6.1m
3rd - 18ft or 5.5m
4th - 17ft or 5.2m
5th - 13ft or 4m
6th - 11ft or 3.55m
7th - 8.5ft or 2.6m
8th - 7ft or 2.15m
Thanks to Nick and Adam for another great video and hope they colab again soon.
damn, thanks
Thank you so much guys for sharing this ! I will use some of these techniques for my fire whip prototype and it will be very useful ! You are amazing
Hey Nick. Could you make a video showing the differnet types of round braids your method of "over X under Y on the left, over Y under X on the right resonated with me and got me a lot closer to understanding how to round braid.
Glad to see your video with Adam Winrich
Hahaha Adam
I Remember your rope , chain , and duct tape whip .
I made 1 of those . Then a dog trainer I met liked it so much I made 1 for him .
That whip was tough and easy to make .
Good to see you are still around .
Thank you so much for the detailed video!!!🙏
This was awesome to see something a lil bit more managable as a first whip project
Thank you so much for taking you time and explaining everything so clear. I just found out about whip making a couple days ago and i'm gonna give it a try.
Adam my friend, you are the man when it comes to whip making. I enjoyed this video as much as any on here. Thank you so much for making this whip so all like me could enjoy it. Your braiding skills are spot on!!!
Crazy leaving the core in the paracord and starting from the otherside, gonna have to try it out
Thank you, dude and the best wishes from germany. 😎👍
Great video, it's something I'm thinking of trying, very interesting and educational
yet another good Nick and Adam Winrich Collab, also i think that it is funny that y'all used a chair leg nob as the heal foundation.
Thank you for this video.
Not sure how I got here but glad I stopped by. Rad work Adam
I followed this video and made one and turned out awesome, so I made another and doubled every measurement except for the fall, and cracker. Man that long one is really loud, but wears a guys shoulder out after a few cracks! Great video
This video is great! Love the whip, love the tutorial and love the expression ‘abandon apple’ haha!
You're an amazing man to watch braids I don't know how you can keep them all their strengths in order my eyeballs can keep up to you you're good at what you do that's for darn sure
Awesome craftmanship 🍻🍻🍻
I've never tried reverse plaiting/English eye but this makes me want to give it a go. I have a complete core here which has been sitting on the couch for about 6 months so when time permits I'll hang it up and have a shot.
I've had a lot of success making snake whips using the reverse plait method never tried with a bull whip. I have no success with leaving the guts in, so that one I'm gonna have to really look into. Awesome job guys beautifully done of course.
wow i enjoyed that. im bout to buy my first whip a 8ft karaka bull whip synthectic cheers enjoy ya vids from new zealand
I learned English eye method for whip making at my third whip, and found by far, adding strands into the braid is far easier to make happen than tapering them out and get to look good, and this tutorial is really nice to see. And... SPIDER DRAMA!
Adam, Nick, thanks for a great video. Always was a fan of Indiana Jones and paracord is so accessible, there's almost no reason not to try this. 😂 Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the community.
Awesome !!!
Hey Nick and Adam, love this technique! Hope to give it a shot soon...Nick....I am going to ask for some Chicago flights in the coming months...great job guys!
amazing!
Adam I must say I read the books on whip making and after this video and your single belly whip video I gotta say you change my perception on whip making completely different then nicks almost religious method of whip forming I’d like to shake your hand one day for real! I also have like I can think of 4 solid questions about whips right after the handshake so heads up
I was able to use this tutorial to make my own Indiana Jones Bullwhip! I was even able to learn the turkshead knots and make the wrist loop! 😃
Mantap,, terima kasih..
Dari indonesian
I have been wanting to make a whip with fiberglass rod. Have the stuff, just need to start it.
what a delightful dude :) Fun spider anecdotes!
This is fascinating... I'm not a whip making expert by any stretch but I've made a couple of whips based off of Nick's older tutorials, at least one of which was a really early one from before he learned that, "some people think that tape in a whip is a really bad thing"... I laughed harder than I should have at that little side comment. I've been meaning to get around to doing one of his snake whips for a while now, but I haven't gotten to it yet. I really didn't think I was going to like the way the cord lays with the core still in, but I honestly don't hate this. It's a little chunkier, but I honestly think I don't mind the extra texture with the color pattern like this. I don't know if I'd like it as well on a solid color whip, but it works for this. I'm going to have to put one of these together and see how it feels. I honestly despise having to strip the core strands out of what seems like miles of paracord, so if this works I'd probably be more inclined to play with more whip builds. Good job, guys. I'm a huge fan of both of you, so it's great to see you working together on stuff like this. Keep it up
Little green spider, probably a lynx spider. Great little spider, loads of personality
I made my first whip from the light blue whip video you and Adam made some years ago. Looks like this'll be my second one.
Me too, I've been making them since using that formula with some adjustments from Nick's other videos
I made one! cracks great! still have to practice. I am not getting consistent cracks.
Bravo.....sharp scissors........u don't burn ends.....crazy glue......piece of cable core......cheers
I I definitely need to watch the braiding part several times. I couldn’t follow it the first time I watched it. Hopefully I can get it after a few times watching.
I agree! I am almost done with my first whip following this method, every step was super easy to follow except the braiding. Here is how I figured it out: divide the strands by 2, left and right, then divide by 2 again, top and bottom. Pull the strand from the top most position, around the back and split the strings in half as you go through them. So if you have 4 strings, that’s 2 for each side, braid in between the 2. Go left right left right always placing the next strand crossways to the last strand you braided. If you have 8 strands, go between two as you come around, if you have 12 strands, go between 3 as you come around. 16, go between 4. Strand counts 6, 10, 14 don’t quarter, so left side, round down, right side round up. I don’t think it matters much if you round up or round down left versus right as long as you do it the same over the whole whip. The transition will just go top or bottom depending on your choice. Hope this helps!
Almost finished my whip. I had a braided belly I had started a few years ago. So I used it for this build. Definitely should have paid a little closer attention to how long it was.... it's just shy of 7ft without the fall. I definitely had to get creative with finishing the handle. Gutted the ends and laid them evenly. Wrapped with some nano cord, hockey tape and did a grapevine hitch with some type 1 paracord. The demonstrations look a little off but it should crack!
Dam I love the new method.. I've made several 6ft to 8ft 3 belly whips( 20+ ) for friends and various people and the normal reaction is dam that's deadly .. I'm gonna have to try this. I can make a core, 2 belly, outer cover whip In about 3 days taking my time doing it right.. lol but people don't seem to want to pay for quality.... this seems like a good comprimise
On a side note that was one of the easiest explanations and demonstrations for reverse plaiting I've seen. Ty. That should work to put and English eye to attach fall to shouldn't it ?
I found it to be very interesting
hell yea, thanks
I love this and have now done 4 whips using this build method. I created a weighted core by replacing the fiberglass rod with a 3/8"x10" carriage bolt fixed with a gutted 1100 strand filled 6" with 3/8 slingshot steel shot, followed by 10" of copper-plated BBs, followed by a fused 550 un-gutted strand for a total length of 52". I then wrap that in the 10 tapered core-strands and the rest basically follows the video from there. Since my handle-core is a little longer (52" instead of 48"), I add-in the core about 4 inches earlier than shown in the video. The resulting whip feels great, is super easy to crack, and still provides 6' to 7' whip accuracy. 😊
how many whips have you made altogether?
@@user-uo3pb3rr4f 4. This video started me off. 😃 But I'm a quick study - my very first one came out quite nice though with some gaps and no intentional pattern. Cracks and targets well, but was a bit light because I used a wooden dowel for the handle but otherwise built it exactly as demonstrated. After watching a few other whip makers I started using the bolt and shot/BBs for the core and the results have been excellent. I recently started working on #5 which is my first gutted-strand 8-footer with the same core but a plaited belly instead of just tapered and wrapped. It's coming along nicely, but my hands and forearms are suffering. 😒
@@sonofgeorge8778 thanks. ive been thinking i should add a little mass . my greater question is how to expand the design to 8 or 8.5. would i merely add a bit to each section before adding. also, how to stagger the core properly, any input would be much appreciated.
@@user-uo3pb3rr4f I was thinking about that myself. I was going to make a 6' core/belly, and then just add the difference in inches where each new strand is added in, so instead of 8 inches I would maybe do 10 or 11. I also thought it could be build the exact same way (but with a longer core/belly), and use the same measurements, except go up to 18 or 20 plait instead of just 16.
My first attempt didn't work out. I finished the 5th whip and it's great, but I only got it to 7', not 8', so I screwed up my measurements somehow. Will let you know details if I build a successful 8-footer using this method. 👍
@@sonofgeorge8778 I really need to stop procrastinating. I think I'll add a foot to the belly, and a foot to the point before inserting the belly. I just need to hurry up and start my first whip. I braided other items so I have many of the skills in place.
I know you have a video out on how to add strands, but would it be possible to get a second video on how to add strands in where we can see footage from all four sides as you’re adding those strands, pretty please? Still in the middle of the video but really enjoying it.
Really liked the video of you two ,one making ,one recording. I would like to try to make an 8 ft bullwhip. Where can I find the measurements ?
Abandon Apple! Haha
Great video guys
@Adamwinrich Have you got a small pocket on the right above the main pocket in those jeans? Have you ever wondered what it’s for? If I may make a suggestion that pocket is designed to fit a zippo in it, the suggestion is swap out that crappy Bic lighter for the zippo. Zippos are great and are refillable also you won’t get a burnt finger when the striker gets hot.
Cool
A tip for your sinew wrapping: Make a small coil from the working end and then you can roll it over and around whatever you're wrapping, almost like a roll of tape!
dear sirs, thank yall for the fine production work, and for the very good design. i have cut miles of lace, mostly for wristwear and neckwear, know several turk's heads by heart, and have spent years referring to bruce grant, ron edwards, david morgan, woolery, etc. this video gives me surefire tapering and all other details in a format that i'll easilly be able to follow. with my skillset, the only hinderance is procrastination. now that i know i can handle every detail, and will wind up with a serviceable whip, i can press past the procrastination. heavier handle has both advantages and disadvantages? if i can find my large spool of sinew, i neednt order anything. the leg cap is a great idea, and i'll keep it in mind, despite the fact that i'll probably use fancy U2O2 turk's type knot for the heel. hope i can meet yall comeday. i should learn to crack from someone, rather than teach myself, right? (the etymology of the word plait is interesting, and explains the spelling. again, thanks for all the nuance. a fun watch.
Huuuuuyyyyyyyyyyyyiiii la verraquera esos látigos decimos en Colombia
Feckin wow 🏴!
I'm trying to wrap my mind (no pun intended) around how to maintain the necessary girth when transitioning from the handle to the rest of the whip.
🤯
You could try putting a turks head over the rubber chair piece.
it would be a cool shape heel knot
There needs to be more in depth whip making videos. It's a hobby I never got I to but have always wanted to make and know how to make my own simple whip
I really enjoyed trying this one out! I found that at the end of the plaiting, I had a lot less leftover in the strands than Adam. Does that mean I should be plaiting tighter??
Question - the handle pole, what other materials could i use? Could i use a carbon arrow for example or does it need to be solid?
Adam: There are no accidents in whip making.
A few... moments... later
Adam: oops! Forgot to cut one lol😂 Love you Adam
I meant to say “no happy accidents”, like what Bob Ross used to say.
Is there any way I could buy a sip from you or Adam? I live less than 45 minutes away from Fall Creek and I’m too lazy to make my own
Hey nick I was wondering what formula you use to determine what length you need for each strand of a braided layer when you have...
1. The number of braided layers
2. Number of strands per braided layers
3. How long the whip is going to be
And also I need help determining how many braided layers I need per whip design when I know the length.
And also how many strands I need for a given belly determined by the amount of strands from the overlay. Thank you and i love your videos im learning so much.
Lol I can't keep up with the braid . Lol I will just buy a whip 😂 but it is interesting how its made 😊
Nick is back 🙌🙌🙌
Are all the paracord strands gutted? It didn’t look like they were. I want to give this one a try. 👍👍👍
I made 14 various length whips during the covid shutdown from watching Nick's videos. I've got to say I like this method also.
Nice. I made one bullwhip with the latest "lastest method " video from Nick (so you have an idea of my inexperience). And I like this video (I plan to try making my second whip this way but with turk's head) but when I saw Adam wrap the whole core length it seemed tedious because of the need to constantly make the sinew strand go around. I wonder if having a swivel where you attach the handle (like a dog leach fastener or some such) which would let you turn the whip around freely would make the process easier.
A less tedious method would be to tape it together using electrical tape or athletic tape.
Did you try how a whip of this pattern behaves when you wax it?
Every Tesla should come with a bullwhip!
That is a handsome basket you keep your scrap paracord in.
What type is it, what's it made of? Who made it? Where can I get one?
What would all of the measurements be if I wanted to make a longer whip? Like a 10 footer for instance
I apologize!!! Once U get started making the whip the camera person did a PERFECT JOB!!!
I love both of your work gentlemen, however maybe you could do the braiding part just a touch slower next time (or just the start of it) :D haha! But seriously, thank you again for this video... Now I'm off to feed my spiders here in Oz
Adam cut the fiberglass at 12". if i were to cut at 13-17 would it behave a bit like a hybrid stock whip? anyone with advice is welcome.
Great video boys, cheers🍻
This should be a kit
Hi realy liked this video of making a whip, but can you tell me how much of the 550 paracord i need in total please.
thanks
Самый простой метод!
Молодец! 🤝🇷🇺
Have You ever considered to use K Tape for building Whips?
Les gooooo
Is that a Drum KIt sitting on that platform deck?
What if you were to use a spike for the handle?
For a beginner whip, you guys are going real fast.
Yes, I also need more detail especially with the braiding. It's hard to braid on two sides at once as well... Maybe a colour code could work to learn the first time...
You can slow the video down ya know 😊
Do you think you could wax this whip or do you think that would make it too stiff?
Could you also insert the lengths in Metric, would make the video more popular in the rest of the world:)
how much sinew do you need? and does un waxed sinew work?
When braiding 6 strands why do you use a different pattern on left and right side u1o2, u2o1? It would be nice to explain it. (same question for the 10 plait section)
Hi,
Doing the 6,10 and 14 plait this way helps keep the plait lines equally spaced round the whip specially when using 2 or more colours.
This is a bit confusing for beginners.
Hope this helps.
Hello, how can I buy a 3 meter whip from you? Do you have a virtual store?
I could not find how much rope to get. Does anyone know?
Hi I would like to buy that one, just let me know how.
I remember in a video that you don't use the core in a whip because it would be too bulky. I'm gonna try this with coreless.
This design is meant to have the core left in.
@AdamCWM I realized after watching the video again, that the staggered belly stands made up for the thickness.
You also mentioned that the length of the belly determines the speed of the whip. Could you please go into more detail about this?
you make it look so easy but its not I have trouble with the plaiting I get confused as to which one to bring under & the pattern goes wrong
Canada Whips has a video for a making a hybrid with a pvc handle. He describes very clearly what goes over and under as he goes along and as he drops strands. It helped me a lot.
th-cam.com/video/KTUWcJWazo0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=pp8nZFo7f-VkOm-L
I wish I could buy one of your whips but im so poor I have to scrap for each bill every month including food and home essentials id love to learn but got lost on the branding
Is that Adam as in Adam Crack as in guiness world record holder
Yes.
Have any idea what a rough estimate for 8', 10' and 12' (most concerned with 8') whips would be? I don't know all the ins and outs of whipmaking math lol
Hi.
If you have the strand lengths for a 6' but want to make a 8' this worked for me when I first started.
Example 6' to 8'
Strand = 24ft
Whip = 6ft
24 ÷ 6 = 4
4 × 8 = 32ft
It also works if you want to make a shorter whip.
Example 12' to 8'
Strand = 36ft
Whip = 12ft
36 ÷ 12 = 3
3 × 8 = 24ft
Hope this helps
That's what Adam said too eve. Abandon apple!
