Hello Sorry that I have not uploaded a video of this challenge yet. The case is, that it looks like sh.. , and I know. My problem wast to control the plane (as usual) therefore I went a little further and started working on the plane, while doing a four crack vertical routine, that Robby taught us a...

Thanks Ron
I will use this opportunity to work only with my left hand.
Consider me as a beginners then

I have watched the video several times. It flows really really great. You are lucky to have so much space. I can not crack an 8 ft. bullwhip in garde due to Gittes Flowers and our apple trees.

I love the way you build

Did the stockwhip get the balance you wanted ? and does it feel like a light weighted whip ?

Jyri - How is it going with the experiment ??

7 ft. + handle is a long whip for sore joints as you have to change the direction over the head when doing horizontal cracks.

Jyri - That's why I love the way you whipmakers in here work. Always a new idea to make the whip perform a little better, always on the move to the next - and always slightly better whip even it is about plaiting, balance or flow. This is indeed a great project and a clever idea. I hope it turns out...

Julia, have a look at this one from Denmark

Rachel - I thought that you had specialized in your style of paracord plaiting. This whip looks "awful" fine

Some day we must have a conversation on how you build them

Thank you for your opinions on waxing. I makes good sense. I have just not tried to crack the same whip before and after waxing.

Jyri - I don't know if you are training a lot or your whips makes i look like that - but it looks very good when you show us your work

Mark - got it. I like the look of a waxed whip too, but when I grab a whip on the wall without thinking much about it is a light weighted non-waxed whip at the moment (just for the moment)

Thanks for your opinion

Jyri - just for my understanding. Why do you was the whips ? I am fully aware that it will ad some different characteristics to the whips, but I have 6 ft and 7 ft whips without wast and they are performing very well indeed. They are more light weighted, but in fact sometimes I see this as an advant...

Jyri - I sound like you are close to an explanation on the "loose plating"

Jyri - I have always been impressed of your concho's - I love that mirror you can make in them

It is very interesting Jyri. How long is it ?

Ii am also very interested in this Jyri

Good to hear from you Ben. Have you started whipmaking again ?

Jyri - it is definitely a long whip. I think Gitte will laugh if she see "little" me trying to handle a long whip like that

Rachel - it is very difficult for me to comment on a whip, while I am not making them, but the look of this one took my breath. What colors !!!!!!! The combination of the handle and the thong is stylish (?). 8 ft. !!!! mean 9 ft in total including the handle ? With my limited knowledge about whips t...
