Here is the list of materials and tools that you'll need in order to make your own nylon whip:

• A 50 ft. bundle of 1/4 in. diameter White Braided Nylon Rope

  (NOTE: The overall length needed will depend on how long you want your finished whip to be. See the Cutting Your Rope section to determine how much rope you'll need.)

• At least 5 ft. of Twisted Mason Line
• Tape Measurer
• A Lighter (preferably a butane lighter)
• Scissors
• Needle Nose Plyers
• Forceps or a Mini Binder Clip
• Needle Nose Tweezers
• One roll of Grip Tape or Electrical Tape
• A Clamp or a heavy Soft-Cover Book (in case you need to step away from your work and don't want it coming undone)

Please note that the purpose of this site is to teach you how to make a simple whip. This site is NOT going to teach you how to crack a whip. There are plenty of tutorials out there on the wonderful internet that will show you the proper techniques for handling a whip safely. This site is not one of those sites.

Whips are awesome tools for making noise and for target practicing, but the user must understand that they are using a whip at their own risk. The owner of this site is not responsible for any damage you do with a whip, nor is he responsible for any harm that is brought upon the user or anyone else nearby. The owner of this site is not liable for any of the user's actions with a whip. If you use a whip, you're responsible for what you do with it.

Whips are chaotic, and if you're not careful you WILL probably hurt yourself and anyone else around you. Practice with your whip somewhere outdoors in a very spacious area with no nearby obstructions or bystanders. Do some research online before you go using a whip. Be smart, be safe, and have fun!
