Why Does My Plaiting Look Good On Top, But Bad On The Bottom? - Tips On Making A Nylon Paracord Whip

- Hi Everyone, in this video we'll talk about some ways that we can greatly improve how our plaiting looks on the underside of our whips, so that it can look just as good on the bottom as it does on the top.

It takes the wisdom and confidence of a master craftsman to happily show their very first piece and all the flaws in it, so we can see how nobody starts out perfect. Bravo
It’s definitely something we just take for granted. Lol paying attention is very important. Great video Nick 👍
Thanks Nick. This really helps alot. Always nice to learn from the experts.
Great video as always! I'm teaching my girlfriend how to make whips right now, this is gonna be super useful!

As always a great video. I went through the same issues when I started making whips 3 years ago. I found that a mirror under my work made it easier to see what was going on. Now I can visualize it without the mirror.
That is a great idea!
@@mogzofanarchy2969 Thank you MOG
That's what I was thinking. A mirror should really help, until you don't need it anymore
Awesome video! And there I was thinking, will he shoot from underneath to show what's going on with the backside of the whip?...... of course he will, it's Nick. And with split screen too!😃

And as always, nice to see the lovely Tipper😸
Great video, Nick! I have only made a few whips but I quickly figured it out since I had to re-plait so many times. I particularly liked the advice about the angles. I have been doing the same but I felt like I was “cheating”. Tipper is a great content actor🐥👍
I love this video. My first whip had huge gaps and this tutorial will help new whip makers to focus on the back and the front. Thanks Nick!
Excellent tutorial! Thanks for all your videos, they have helped be a lot on my journey to become a Whipmaker.
Thank you my beautiful friend. I always enjoy your videos.
Great explanation, Nick!
So easy to take advice from.
Thank you, for sharing your wisdom.
This is great! There is so much detail to things that may seem obvious but which can be easily missed, especially when starting something new like whip making. This so helpful, thank you!
Thank you for your videos man. I’ve always wanted to make some whips but have always been intimidated by the plaiting part. I am working on my first snake whip and I am doing very well so far with the help from you.
As you started to explain what the cause was I thought "oh, I should put a camera below the whip so I can see what the back looks like....seconds later :)
I play guitar and make whips I got my self a music man guitar I love it and I’m glad you play music man to
Very nice video, did wonders for my second whip
Excellent vid, Nick.
Thanks a lot, I’m half way through a 12ft three belly overlay. I now know what I’m doing wrong. Easy fix thanks
As always a educating video. I’ve had exactly the same problem and low and behold i to didn’t even think about the backside 🤦♂️
Great advice! Thank you!
+ A very useful and detailed video, Thank you very much!!
Great video. Thanks
thanks for this video, 2 whips in and my plaiting looks the same all the way around.
Great video as always
Great Video! Super helpful!
I would think putting a mirror behind the whip section being plaited would help
Great tips Nick, I think I'm going to set up a mirror to watch the underside
on my next whip.
Very useful video Nick, thanks again! There is one thing I would like to know. On the body of the whips that I build, the size of each of the four sides formed by the weave is always different, they are never the same width ... Is this thing natural or does it happens because there are too many or few strands to cover the diameter of the belly in some parts of the whip? I hope I have explained myself well and I apologize if my explanation is a little bit confused, but I find no better way to write this, thanks for any answer you can give me! Keep it up Nick!
thanks a lot for this video, I think I'm gonna put a little mirror underneath to keep an eye on it.
I don’t have this Problem anymore with herringbone but with Diamond plate I can’t figure it out it looks like herringbone on the back and none of the videos on TH-cam have helped me.
Love the vid all your videos are so beautiful and calming
After plaiting a full round. I like to push down and up on the strands. I find it gives it a nice even look on the bottom as well as the top of the whip .
Благодарим, хорошо рассказал и показал, молодец!)
Another good explanation. I made my first whip about a month ago after watching the 11 year old video lol. Currently working on another one for my son using you're 2020 video. Only issues I keep coming up with is the strand lengths you say to use but I come up quite short. I even added 5 feet to the 20' in the old video to 25' from a comment I read on it and still came up about 6" short. Kinda frustrating.
Bolsters: why?
I've seen a lot of references to bolsters in whip-making... but I haven't found anything that adequately describes its function and benefits. I would love to see a video about bolsters with your level of detail.
Can you please do a video on how to make an 8ft whip with a 15inch handle where the first belly starts at the top
Intro was priceless. How hard was it for you to record that loose wide open back with those gaping holes? Looked like you were in a 4 plait on the thickest part of the whip.
Would you be willing to build an 8 or 10 foot bullwhip using your current method and materials?
if I wax a older whip will that make it stiffer?
Hello nick can you make a bullock whip? I try much to found a video how can make it but i don't found, can you make? With this new material of course 😊😁
Definitely an issue I have
I don’t have that uneven back problem, but the pieces of strand are longer on the back than on the front (the pieces that appear before going under another strand). Why is that and how do I fix it?
Same here!
You should set up a mirror underneath what ever you’re working on
Me too when i'am braiding my whip braiding always twist
thank you for sharing
seems like positioning mirror behind the whip woud help
Is it platting or plaiting?
Triple ad? Didn’t even get to the video 3 adds fuck thaaat 😂😂
I've never heard of triple adds on TH-cam and didn't even know it was a thing. Sorry about that..
Nick my problem isn't the top/bottom differences as much. My issue is when I go to the transition from my belly of the thong to nothing when finishing the overlay, the end of the belly is good on some I normally have 4 to 6 overlay strands when I get to the end of the belly, I'm not sure what I am not doing correctly, but for some reason I am not able to always close in the end where the thing has come a bit loose or the belly end pokes it's way through a portion of the overlay and it's driving me NUTS. I am just doing bullwhips for now, I've made a copy of your mini pocket bullwhip and it turned out perfect. If you or someone can help that would save me a lot of greif. I'll be going through your other videos to see what I'm not doing right.
