To anyone who Wants to keep the particular plating pattern, when you drop a strand, instead of going over 3 under 3 still, switch to / 3 under 2 on the side you droped the strand, and the plating pattern will continue the exact same
Instead of electrical tape, I would try cloth tape. I used that type to tape up hockey sticks. And on the top of the shaft as you do your wraps twist the tape to create ridges to give your gloves something to hold on to . Would be an interesting alternative. Plus the cloth tape doesn't stretch and is incredibly sticky
Question! I see in his video when he drops strands on the overlay. He does under 3 over 2. My question is what about when you get to 4 strands on each side. Does it then go to an 8 plait style. Under 2 over 2. Or still continue doing under 3 over 1 if that makes sense
I just saw ZNA Productions featuring one of your fine whips and I was truly impressed by its quality and style, so congratulations man you just earned yourself a new subscriber!
For the base layer next to the nail but before you tape it, I've got a bit of a question. The second paracord length of 2 1/2 ft, is it also filled with bbs?
if you drop your ends and change the over under on the side you dropped you can keep the pattern,,,,like under 3 over 2 then you drop one so on one side you are under 3 over 1 on the other side under 3 over 2 till you catch up to the next one to drop off then it is the same on both sides stop using that gd tape and use sinew instead
Just for all those who have gone unanswered--- Q: why not electrical tape? A: the adhesive fails easily and eventually it gets dry and will crack and crumble...this will work but will give you less quality for a high durability heirloom quality whip. Q: what should you use instead? A: many people suggest a fabric tape such as hockey tape. Medical tape also works with a good adhesive. Sports tape like KT tape is excellent. I cannot tell you MY secret weapon as i haven't finalized testing but recently have found a far superior product that so far out performs everything mentioned...
The video seemed to cut out early for the order you were pulling the strands to start the overlay. I saw the first few,does it just go in order longest to shortest?
Thank you for this tutorial! I love the weight of this whip. I was wondering if you could do a tutorial for a 6 foot whip using the same shot loading method? Would be much appreciated!
What is a better alternative to electrical tape if one wanted to be a better whip maker? Do you have an alternate tutorial NOT involving electrical tape?
Have you ever considered using jb weld instead of glue so the nail cant spike through or using a long bolt instead of a nail the paracord can then grip the threads
The pair record will definitely stay attached just fine, unless you are planning on using your whip to Swing around like Tarzan. As far as the different core for the handle, I find that 1/4 inch dowel rod is actually a perfect, as I can then thicken it up with layers of electrical Tape or heat shrink tubing if I decide, but I generally prefer a thinner handle
I'm wanting to do this, but I had one unclear question. For the core you had two strands with bbs and one without. Does the one without bbs still have its inner strands, or have they been removed?
I would say he doesn't have it gutted because it gathers in better with those inner cords inside the paracord they kind of all seat together when you're wrapping it with the tape if you cut it out it doesn't have the depth to hug into the other two beaded strands.
@@rebeccasilveous8898 Not only that I, but it Helps to make the whip throw coils significantly more consistently, As it helps the weight taper more consistently towards the end. Otherwise, you're liable to end up with a relative "flop" where the shot loaded portion ends, As I unfortunately discovered
Have you ever made a whip without gutting the outer belly plating? I made one last night and missed that step by accident. It works, but I can't tell what downfalls it has by being thicker and less flat plating. I'm wondering if it would be worth it to unweave the outer belly and gut, then re-plate.
Would you consider making a video on what to look for in a whip, how to tell if the whip purchased is a good one and after a months use or so what defects might you find if it is not a well made whip. What to look for in a good whip?
More bellies generally equals a better meet with, you won't run from a reputable dealer that is not made with electrical tape, And likely one that has been waxed. Otherwise, aside from shoddy plating comer you can't really tell much from just looking at pictures of their whips, and everything else is entirely up to personal preference. Personally, I prefer a 7 football whip, or a 3 and a 1/2 foot snake whip, depending on what I'm using it for
Hey I got a question, can I convert your measurements for this whip to a 6 foot whip and a 9-10 inch nail to make a 6 footer? And what would those measurements be by chance?

I have to get more paracord for the overlay, but for the core I didn’t use paracord at all, or electrical tape. I used a 10ft iPhone charger for each segment of the core, then instead of electrical tape wrapped it with nylon masonry twine, super glueing it every 4 inches or so so it doesn’t come in done. Hoping it will work, seems pretty decent already .
I’m trying to make this whip and I’m having problems with the plaiting is there any tips or tricks to getting the pattern to be straight on all sides of the whip or any videos that shows and tricks
Plait towards you not away from you like this guy does in the start off. Easiest way is if you want the left top strand to come through reach through on the right side down how ever many strands and pull it through and over the others.
when you offcenter the smaller strands by 6 inches, do you alternate the sides so that its even on both sides or do you make them all offcentered to the same side?
Electrical tape is fine but what about hockey tape with hockey tape be okay for what making not saying that it's for sale or anything but just would it be a better product to use instead of electrical
Hi there, just curious where you buy your paracord? I know there are a lot of options and I'm wondering because I am hoping to get it not to expensive yet still okay quality for the purpose of the whip.
@@caliberwhips9595 thank you! Sorry for another question but whenever you are talking about or using paracord, is it always already cored? Or do you use regular for some parts and then cored for others?
@@caliberwhips9595 I figured. I got about 12" in and realized I was already running low on the belly strands lol. I still ran out way short though. Had to give the strands some extensions so now it's half camo half red. Thankfully it's just the belly.
If you're making it for costume purposes, shot loading it at all will be unnecessary. Honestly, though call me if you are going to go to all the work too making one that looks realistic, may as well just shot load it and make it functional
Im in the US army and im deployed right now, do you think you could make a video showimg how to make a more minimalistic whip if possible, i don't know where im gonna find bbs, but i have ductape, paracord, and theres some assorted 6 to 8 inch nails laying around. For tools, i have pliers, a knife, and a lighter
Ive made many of my own whips, its just regular 550 cord and BB gun BB's. Ive also made the weighted cord with the light chains from ceiling fan lights. Not as heavy but makes a whip just a well.
How do you put BBs in parachute cord I took all the string out of the parachute cord. Then spent 10 minutes trying to get the stupid babies in the parachute cord and I still can't get it.
The electrical tape will start to crack and dry out eventually and it will just cause the whip a catastrophic failure it will crack in a huge spot all around and make your in her belly separate and look like it was put together in segments

How did you get the bbs in the chord I'm still stuck on the a team part🤣🤣🤣
do you gut the paracord strands
Zayne McLearran yes at least that’s what I did when I built mine a few years back
For the 4.5' piece of 'normal' cord for the core, you didn't specify if it was gutted or still had the inner strands. Just that there were no BBs.
That caught my attention too. I think this is the only piece that is not gutted because you want the volume for the core.
Yes it is ungutted
What tape do you use in your bull whips professional to bind them since you don't use electric tape?
Artificial sinew instead
What if you used an 7 inch bolt instead of a nail? And instead of abandoning the short strand can you plait over it?
So was that whip from the beginning of the video this one here that your making or do we get the p g whip. What do you use besides electric tape

Is core weight more important than length on this, I wonder?

It needs to be heavy

Devon Weathersby a good substitute is hockey tape
Does it matter what side we offset to on the first belly
not really
Damn man!! Wish you was closer! I’d love to hang out and make a darn whip! This is super cool young buck! Hella awesome!
can i use a 10 inch nail
yes
What would you use instead of the tape?
Artificial sinew
I just pulled one of those nails from the ground for marking pipes. Also, can you use lead pellets for added weight?

What kind of animal was that? 1:10
Yup. What kinda bird is that
the four and a half foot length of paracord is it gutted or is it a pizza paracord with inner strands inside
Almost always they are gutted
Does it matter if the paracord is made of nylon or polyester?
Technically, no, especially since this is wrapped with electrical tape, and won't stay together for super long, but nylon is always preferable.
when you offcenter the smaller strands by 6 inches, do you alternate the sides so that its even on both sides or do you make them all offcentered to the same side?
Swig Swag - It's up to you. It doesn't affect anything, they get dropped before they can do anything.

Can I use "Athletic tape" instead of Electrical tape?
Only if you play a sport
What is the wrap named that you're using on the handle?
If you coud change somethings about how you made this whip what would it be?
Bruce Grainger - Maybe make the strand lengths longer.
How would you know what lengths to cut your strands of paracord if you wanted to make a longer whip? (say six or eight feet for example)
Use proportions.
