Thanks very much Robert, I'll be sure to work on those points :). By no means am I challenging you, just wishing to tell you that the decking I was cracking on wasn't too big and so I was a bit wary of where my whip was going, hence not following through on the circus crack and standing close to the...

Here's my contribution. My cracks are a little quiet because (unbeknownst to me) my cracker had almost completely ripped off on a shrub just before the take.

I'm pretty late in saying this, Roy, but I absolutely love that rust and silver thong :). Your work is just amazing.

Wow, Jessie. Just wow. Those handles are incredible, not to mention the thongs and knots. Truly beautiful whips :).

Very nice stuff, Michal :). I'm thinking of joining in with the 10/10 this weekend, when I've finally got some light to record by. I just recently got my fast figure 8 down solid (I think) after a lightbulb moment when trying the volley.

Thanks Morten, Craig, and Jeff :). Craig, the transition definitely worked a lot better, and the grapevine saved it I think.

Thank you Ron and Robert :). The 7ft stockwhip is definitely my favourite of the ones I've made. As for binding, I think I'll be getting a roll of artificial sinew for my next whip; I like the idea of a long transition but doing it with thread is a pain and a half.

My bona fides

I'm now the new guy here, and already I've been asked if I'd share my work :). It's not much compared to what I see on here daily, but I like to think I've gotten better than when I started... Thank you all for being so welcoming, by the way. it's a truly wonderful community here on Whip Basics. Any...
