Whip Basics. The Forum

The handle lead is fiberglass.

It doesn’t crack. It kind of whooshes, but they aren’t a sonic whip.

Mark, it’s a long TH.

Thanks everyone!

My first lunge whip

Okay, it's all done. I will leave it unwaxed. A 4 foot fiberglass handle, with 425 paracord overlay, twisted taper core, in baby pink and gray as per customer's order. Until then, my first Lunge whip. https://i.imgur.com/psreQQL.jpg https://i.imgur.com/DGp75tU.jpg https://i.imgur.com/L3iryA5.jpg htt...

My first lunge whip has an overlay! The handle and fall will be pink. . I hope this is right.

I received the donation from both Robert and Wolfgang.

PLEASE donate in Euro. If I have to convert from dollars to euro on the final submission, there is a charge.

This is really nice, Mark. I love it!

Thank you

thanks, and, got it

6 foot overall length with Czech glass beads hand woven on the handle, bleached mahogany veneer with a hand cut Mickey Mouse silhouette in platinum gray. Plaited from the tip with an english eye in sassy red. Trimmed with 3 black knots. The fall also has an english eye for the cracker for easy chang...

Scott, yeah. The gray part is rubber. I cut off the tips. So, it's all done. 6 foot overall length with Czech glass beads hand woven on the handle. Plaited from the tip with an english eye in sassy red. I think it's a sexy whip. It's plenty stiff and will need a little breaking in, but cracks very n...

These have rubber grips. I can pull super tight. I got 3 pair on amazon for 15$. The rubber will wear off after a while where the cord rubs. Of course, pink is my color, but the colors are due to the fact that I need kid sizes. You have to make sure they are rubber grip though. I have ordered some b...

And here is the next step: The core bound, and the first belly being started:



And the first belly bound and the whole works epoxied into the handle.



Until next time...

I like to tie as many knots as I can before building the thong. It's much easier to tighten without a big long tail flopping around. So, here is the handle with the heel counter weighted and built up: https://i.imgur.com/UNXnHEx.jpg https://i.imgur.com/SfYxYcm.jpg And with the knots tied: https://i....

Really pretty, a little bird said something about steampunk? I’m looking forward to that story...spoilers

Thanks

Yes it is for Renate. I hope she loves it. I formed the knot foundation for the accent knot and another layer of epoxy seals it all. I think I might go ahead and form the heel knot foundation today too and get that epoxied and drying before putting it all together. I should have done it last night, ...

This whip is a commission for someone in Germany. She likes tango dancers, black and red, and Mickey Mouse. The handle is a bleached mahogany veneer with a platinum hand-cut inlay of Mickey. The lower half of the whip is black with hand beading reminiscent of fishnet stockings. The back of the beadi...

Thanks guys. This style was made before for a former member. The customer saw pictures on my website.

What a nice set! I want a nice light matched pair. I would like to learn 2-handed cracking.
