Thanks for posting your progress Morten.

math done on strand lengths - starting first belly.

I know its a messy start - and that square starts seems to be the hit these days. But i always make the handle 5-6 cm too long so i can mount it in the vice - and since i have to cut anyway - i dont want to spen the time on nice square starts

Thx Ron - well its only a belly - love to experiment with colors on bellies

Well Charlie - when i cant read my own handwriting - i have to use excell

Morten , excell-ent notes.
When I want to check my notes I have to hire an interpreter from the U.N. .
But they usually give up after a couple of days.
Our intelligence agencies want to use it for coded messages.
What's the point if no one can read them.... no one.

its a ungutted going all the way through - pulled into a gutted - then pulled into the yellow - the fancy colored chinese bought often have a slightly larger diameter so it goes pretty easy

And for the rest - seems like handwriting skills it not a whipmaker trade

Nice start!

Very scientific notes. I see you've bumped into the same problem of terminology. We just have to use some of the English language terms, but then explaining something to your friends becomes very silly

Got the plaiting done on first belly - forgot to tell that its goind to be a 7 foot bull with a 10 inch handle. Ready for some binding

Morten, that's a good example of why to bind a whip and what it does for a whip.
Looks like a really good job.
