Whip Basics. The Forum

It cracks better than I thought it might.
Of course being a lighter, faster whip it needs a little more energy to crack I would imagine.
Garret's skills have improved a lot.


Good job, both of you.

Ron

Well done, Jyri.
It looks like it cracks like a dream.

Ron

A nice slow low energy whip..... my favorite.

Ron

I am speechless. The only thing I can say is...... *sigh*....wow.
Thank you so much for sharing such a personal and wonderful thing.

Ron

Very nicely done, Ben.
Was the shift in the handle planned?

Ron

I really like the color.

Ron

What a beast.
Not a fan of the colors, but that's just me.
Good job.

Ron

This is going to be good.
I love red on a whip overlay.
Thanks for the update on your progress.

Ron

Ethan, I highly endorse Ben's suggestion.
It's the only way to figure out how your cord will react to waxing.
It's also a good way to figure out the shrinkage as well.
Measure the cord, and do that again after waxing, you'll have an answer.

Unlike people not all cord is created equal.

Ron

Good job on turning the wood.
It looks like a lot of fun.

Ron

Good job, Ethan.
It looks very much the business.

When it's time, let me know how it cracks.

Ron

Just registered my truck for another year.
For the life of this truck , I'm sure all the fees having been paid are more than the cost of the truck. Gotta love government fees and regulations. :p

Ron

I can see the pics as well.

Ron

That seam is straight as can be.
It's going to roll out nicely.

Ron

Great job Ben.
I really like the sleekness of it.
It looks like it could crack itself.

Ron

Great job on both, but the leather looking one is super.
I had to look twice.

Ron

Ethan, nice job on the whip and the crackin'.
It looks like it cracks like butter.

Ron

Ethan, very nicely done. Your skill level has improved quite a bit.
I like the use of the 275. I personally think the narrower width cord is getting closer to what a leather whip would act and feel like.
It's a lot more work and cord, but it's worth it.

How does it crack?

Ron

Thanks for the video, Flemming.

It won't be long, with practice like such, that you will be proficient in both hands.

Ron

It's the same here with the wind.
