Honestly, everyone raise your hand if you don't feel any pressure right about now :)

Maybe I did, Maybe I didn't.

Actually I have an idea using the buffing wheel on my bench grinder to shape leather wrapped around the butt for the Turks head foundation. I've seen people use a belt sander to do this. I need to wrap the handle with tape to protect it though.
Here's wishing you find time for the things you want to do, and for the things you need to do.

I'd be lying if I told you there's no pressure, but I think there's at least as much excitement as there is pressure so it kinda cancels out!

ARRGHH! I'll never make a whip good enough for my recipient!
If I can't run fast, I'll make slow look impressive.

Some slight adjustment was needed, but now all users can open their own whip topics here.

Just a heads up for everyone.

The deadline is closing up fast and there are still plenty of whips to be delivered. The timetable is long enough that it's easy to procrastinate -- I know that because I have a tendency to do so myself -- but don't let the deadline creep up on you.

My Whip Swap Whip is currently on a hook about 4ft to the right. I have about 2ft of the overlay done and just completed the first strand drop. I'm hoping to get it completed this week and shipped out.

Thank you. Fortunately nothing serious just a boutique of bad flu. But pulling strands tires me out quickly. Feeling much better today so should be able to get some done tonight
