This new Gallery replaces the former "Masters Gallery", which will work from now on as pure archive. Here you will find not only the work and art from folks who sell whips, but also from folks, who create their whips out of pure passion. And we have an additional gallery. It is called "The Gallery - Making of".

The dreaded knots!!! It looks great Whippy Sister. Really though, I set aside one full day just for the damned knots. :/
Due to rising costs, dirty deeds are no longer done dirt cheap.

The knot in itself takes AGES to do normally, but is so rewarding. This whip is looking really good Rachel!! A very clean diamond plait~

I agree, Brandon, when the knots are done they are worth all the creative --- energy ---
I always try to the knots when the kids are out. :P just in case.
Thanks!

Rachel yeah, my language can get very picturesque with lots of descriptive adjectives when tying knots too.
It's ok if you disagree with me.

No secret that knots are my nemesis!
Knot happening, not at the rate I'd like but it's coming along.

Rachel, have you tried the mandrel / jig with pins and the "Grid Maker" method?

Ron no I haven't, though I just figured out my run list for the knot in working on was written from 6-5-4-3-2-1 pin order instead of the 1-2-3-4-5-6 pin order I'd been using. Tada!!!

Rachel, I wouldn't say that.
Look at what you have accomplished in school!!
Besides, you're a lot sweeter than a turnip.

Nice knotting Rachel. Maybe I'm perverse but I enjoy the knotwork part of whip making and look forward to it. :/

Surely knot...and don't call me Shirley!
I'll give it a try, Dad, but it's going to be really hard...kind of like trying to saw something in half using a banana.
