I used to do a lot of rope work when I was an assistant scout leader and ended up in charge of all our cordage. I was unwell on one camp, and didnt go on the day out. Instead I took every bit of rope we had on camp and spent a joyous day, whipping rope ends. backsplicing and eye splicing where necessary it was a lovely day, spent quietly doing a job that I love, in peace and harmony with nature!

This is such an amazing video, it makes it easy to learn and I was able to do this on my first attempt. I love how knowledgeable you are and your instructions are clear and to the point. Subscribed

Johnny can't thank you enough for all the well explained procedures. Your humble attitude and welcomed opinions are appreciate. Thank you so much. Robert Mills

I'm probably a few years late on commenting but this video was really helpful for me!! You explained things so well and at a nice slow pace that I was able to understand, and took time to show close up what was happening- now my rope ends are all pretty and secure! Thank you 😊 I've subscribed to get more rope vids!

Wow! For years I've been whipping rope wrongly! Now I know the proper way.....thanks so much. GLENN, Grimsby!

I am a practical knot tier as an Arborist I have never seen 3 strand whipping done that way. I have watch some of other video's. And found some knots that I could use. We all have the normal knots for tying. I have the Ashley book of knots but I don't do well with seeing a know done that way. Well done!!!!!

I have done this with a needle, this is so much more practical!

Thanks for the nice introduction to an interesting technique.

Thanks for your clear presentation. I make dog leases and horse tack. Usually I use double braid polyester rope, but some customers want cotton 3-strand rope, so I am learning to work with that.

Thank you for a brilliant video! We’re getting married soon and I bought cord for a handfasting ceremony but needed to stop the ends fraying. I’m really pleased with the results...only possible because of your clear instructions.

Great video. So thorough in explaining. Thanks

Yes, a lovely looking knot!

thank you! you made it so easy.

Thank you so much for all your teaching. Invaluable Thank you so much.

Your very good at giving instructions and showing how it's done 👍

Takes a little more time and thought than a common whipping, but the result is superior in function and appearance. Worth the time to learn.

Beautifully explained. I have used this whipping as described elsewhere but it was hard to follow. Your explanation is very easy to follow.

Too cool. Godspeed.

Bloody good video and easy to understand

Your the best. I always go by you. Thank you so much 😊

Great video. a must learn for lovers of the outdoors.

Always a treat Mr. Pearlt.

Nice video, Thanks!!

Good instruction. Great video. Thanks.

Thanks mate for teaching me! Really great skill!

Another great video. Thanks for sharing.

Great tutorial! I tried it on some 5/8” nylon and it came out great, first try. I’d send a picture if I knew how.

Wonderful video instruction. Thank you mate.

Amazing! Love it!!!!

Nice little vid here johnny I liked it a lot. This will come in handy one day. I reuploaded my vid and now it's all there and good

An excellent tutorial! I didn't know how to do this sailmakers whipping, and now I do!

Great stuff, thanks. Have to deal with ropes at work, always good to learn.

Excellent tutorial.

Lovely.. that’s exactly what I was looking for

Thank you for your tutorials. I'm gonna use it to tie a eye splice in my home gym climbing rope.

Excellent and very clear - however, I am trying to whip a 4 strand rope but cannot clearly see how I can make a second loop - can you advise please - thanks.

Great video 😊

Simple and interest thanks

NICE KNOT

great video...but 1 question can you wrap it around with twine in the same way as rope goes? so 04:47 opposite way (not up but down)?

Thnxs☝️

Was a scout my self for 10yrs...the last 5 yrs a roverscout and 2 of the 5 yrs a searover🇸🇷⛵️⚓️⚜️🔱

As a retired industrial electrician I use another way to secure the end of ropes and not only. A self-fusion electrical (rubber) tape. Usually comes in sizes 19mm x 10 meters. Once you be familiar and use properly, is forming a homogenous mass of rubber in any thickness and width you choose soon after the application. Can be remove only by cutting. Doesn't contain any glue, so what is left behind is a clean surface.. Also is waterproof and is temperature resistant up to 130°C.

excellent !

Brilliant

💯

It's so good... Thank you for the knowledge

thanks :)

As the end of the rope gets used, is there a risk that the frayed ends of the 3 individual strands will get shorter, allowing for the blue whipping line to jump over the strand and have the whole thing come undone?

Hi con you do the same with 8 strand rope cheers Ken

Thumbs up!!! Clark

First of all, LOVE the videos! Great quality with clear instruction. Thank you so much! Is it possible to do this whipping on the end of the junction of an eye splice/back splice. I’m sure the common whipping would work well but I really love the look of this sailmakers whipping!

What number twine?

What size is that black whipping twine you use here?

Finally got signal after a long voyage, and watched it, i tried dis working onboard but i cant remembered haha.. Now when we are sailing again i will tried it once to change the old one whipping wat ive done haha

Hey Johnny, Thanks for the instructional video! I came across it whilst searching for ways to secure a rope LOOP (so, where two pieces of rope meet). I'd like to give it a try like this, but I wonder if you have any knowledge on how to basically do this technique but with two pieces of rope together? There are things like rope clamps etc, but I would prefer an all-natural finish. Any tips/redirects? Thanks!

📌 very nice . thank you

have I gone colour blind? Green? That said, very useful video, easy to follow and now applied in practice by me to my own rope ends.

What is the name of the tool you use to separate the rope?

Love the video, keep it up ! Im going to like and subscribe! Like so!

Love your work Johnny

How do you come by the name "sailmakers whipping" for this technique? Ashley #3446 is ""sailmakers whipping" or "palm-and-needle whipping" and requires the use of a needle. This is Ashley #3448 (for which no name is given) and is described as "superficially resembling palm-and-needle whipping." I too like Bank Line but it can soil whites, so each use-case must be considered.

very sleek, gonna have to get some tiny thin cord and replace my horrible overhand-knots!

Hi,can you please put video of "snaking on sailmakers whipping",thanks.

Excellent demonstration. Didn't you just tie a granny knot? Left over right then left over right?

Hi Johnny , amazing tutorials. I have just started to learn the art of whipping . I find the whipping line I got is very fine which is a shame as it hides the details. What line have you used for the sail makers whipping / size and where do you but it from . Many thanks 👍

Nice video. Are there different versions of a whip knot? I having been using a similar technique that doesn't involve the diagonal wraps...where you essentially pull that initial loop knotted under the wrapping to complete the knot. Again...no diagonals, and the knotted loop gets pulled under the wrappings. Is that a whip know too, or am I describing a different knot?

I'm lazy. Tie a double overhand knot at the beginning, wrap the cord then double overhand knot to finish. Last step is these new fangled "crazy" glues at each end. It last forever or until the rope literally falls apart. Have used this method on my five last boats.

Decorative yes, but kinda slow & not all that secure/permanent. I use garden variety 'big box' store nylon twine & tie a 4 coil abok #1239 or 1240 'strangle' (some call it a 'nail') knot, pulled to about 80% of twine breaking with a couple of Marlinespike hitches[1] on two large Marlinspike's (actually screwdrivers[2])... sitting on the floor with one spike in hands, the other under both feet. Protect your face. Make sure the coils don't overlap & stay together as you begin to tighten. 4 coils seem to be the magic number, as more tend to bulge in the middle. Start over if the twine breaks. Leave about 1.5 line diameters beyond the whippings & trim square... don't leave any melted spooge; there is no need & it looks/feels horrible. These whippings are also very good for marking lines... for instance the middle of a long line... however for markings, don't pull them as tight to avoid line damage. If desired, different color whippings and/or markers can employed for custom ID purposes. I have some of these whippings I tied over 20 years ago that other than being a bit dirty & shop worn are still as firm/solid as the day they were put on. Two are on a knot practice line thats been through the washing machine countless times. [1] Biron Toss covers spike hitches very well in his book 'The Riggers Locker'. Really more of a tool than knot... IMHO, any and all should be familiar with it. Spike hitches are also great for tightening constrictors amongst numerous other things. Toss's books are very good, as they take into account real world use in modern day synthetic lines. [2] I've had good results using large square shank screwdrivers. (Just looked, Craftsman 3/8" #41852's in my case.)

if you tucked the white ends from the constrictor in the crevice between two of the rope strands, they'd be out of way. NIcely done, by the way!

How to Tie the Lanyard on your Knife. ???

Know the whipping by unlaying and relaying the strands method .This technique will work better with soft lay rope

Your accent sounds similar to Michael Caine's accent? Are you from somewhere near where he grew up? When I was in the UK, I noticed that you could travel as little as 30 miles and get a noticeably different accent. Here in the US, you can easily travel 500-800 miles (or even more) and not get a noticeably different accent (other than certain ethnic minority accents).

Quick way of doing a decorative whipping, but not very secure way of doing it. Knot shouldn't be at the open end, it should be on the other side of the splice so it is buried in the strands, less chance of working loose.

Beautiful but you did not leave any links 😳😩

Au final, la sur-liure ne doit pas faire que le bout s'ouvre.

You don't mention the direction of the turns. BTW, I was taught to wind with the lay. Nice presentation otherwise.

Review your description of the final reef knot. You appear to describe it wrongly.

Palm & Needle Whipping.

Why skip the constrictor knot and force to click a link

08:55 Reef knot. You made it right, but your are saying "left over right", then 09:09 you say again "left over right", but for a correct Reef knot you has to say "right over left", as you do it. Only a litte mistake, but you show it alright.

Pretty cool clip and very easy to follow, but truly a lot of „I show you this“ over and over again… ;-)

There’s a way easier way to start this whip than you’ve complicated the start to confuse people, it’s really not that hard. Unravel a single lay and position your whip line long/short and close the lay.

That's not how u put a wipe ona tag line ,

Why didn’t you name it: “Let’s Get Knotty”?🤷🏼‍♂️🤔

too slow, too many words - decorative knutter indeed!

Far too much yapping, it should only be a 3 minute video

Fantastic instructional. Thank you!!!
