I thank you for the raffle whip, Craig. But Frankenwhip is - I appologize upfront - fuckin' awesome! I think, we have to talk.

I know I already commented, but this whip deserves it certainly. I'd just wish I could have a crack with it.

Thank you, everyone! The German one is done now. It's beefy too, but not as much as Frankenwhip. Unfortunately, my heel knots on both leave a lot to be desired.

Robby - any time and always.

I knew the reactions would be great with these. :D Awesome job, Craig.

What seems to be troubling you with the heel knots?

Too many gaps. I think I've identified the problem, but it's too late to fix on these. Basically, I'm making my foundation to tall.

Frankenwhip 2.0 is a beast! I can't believe how smoothly it rolls our for such a big whip. Nice work!
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.

Thanks, Scott.

I just checked. Roger's whip weighs 1lb 6oz, the German whip weighs 1lb 11oz, and Frankenwhip weighs 2lbs.

I can confirm that using one of Craig's beefy whips is definitely a wrist/forearm workout. I strongly suggest working it with both arms so you don't end up with one massively more muscular that the other ;)

I'm curious as to how much the Sonoran Sunset weighs, since it has one more belly and 2 extra feet.

Huh? That's only about a pound. I think I need to recheck mine. I may have messed up the scale.

Never mind! It's early here and my brain isn't working right. That's about two pounds.

Latest whip. Black and silver, which turned grey in the wax. I absolutely hate black. It's too narrow and stretches too much causing some minor gapping issues. The whip is crazy stiff, though and I'm actually fairly happy with my knots. I'm going to try a hole on the end of the fall on this one.
