Every application has a story behind it…

As an aside, my family is geographically separated.  On a recent visit to my parents’ house while my brother was in town — and after a few beers — our stepdad’s bullwhip came out.  I have to add, this is not the first occurrence of this phenomenon.  After a brief “refresher course” from the master, my brother and I took turns trying to produce the coveted crack…at times with a great deal of pain.  We both decided that we must finally master this skill.  That means we needed bullwhips.

Given my affinity for paracord, I scoured the interwebs and found Nick Schrader.  The problem was, I wanted a 9′ whip and his video was for a 6′.  I tried to “guesstimate” appropriate lengths of paracord to create a 9′ whip…and wound up with a 7′ 10″.  Now I am on a mission…

The App

This app is designed to be used along with instructions provided by Nick Schrader on his YouTube channel.  He gives lengths needed to make a 6′ whip, but what if you want a different length?  Either you have to do the math…or you can let Whip Maker do it for you.  By entering the whip length you are going for, Whip Maker will give you the lengths of all of the strands you will need.

How to use Whip Maker

There really isn’t much instruction necessary.  Just enter the desired length and tap Calculate.  Whip Maker does the rest.  Enjoy!
