Another new whipmaker

[Rachel McCollough]

So here's the debut of another local young whipmaker: This is Hagen, age 10. Now I did help out with the plaiting from 7-5 strand, about 1 ft total- the rest is his work.

The maker and his whip:


The whip: 6 ft 12 plait imperial red, goldenrod yellow, and black king snake pattern, 16" cherry handle made by mom...

That color combination is really cool. It looks really good. Nice smooth taper. Plaiting seems straight too. How does it crack?

[Rachel McCollough]

Hagen says it cracks good, and thank you! We will try to upload a video in a little while in town

[Ron May]

Rachel, Hagen did a fine job.
He has a great mentor in his Mom.

[Rachel McCollough]

Thanks, Ron, from Hagen and I both!

[Jeff Roseborough]

Good Job Hagen! Very nice work. I wish I had started that young.

[Rachel McCollough]

Hagen says Thank you very much, Mr. Jeff!

Here's that video:

[Ron May]

The video was cool.
His technique is going to be good.
I'm glad to see that he is not trying to over power the whip.
He's going to turn into quite a showman.
Loved the ending.
Good job Hagen.

Way to go!
Yay!

You can never be too young to start in crafts!

[Rachel McCollough]

From Hagen:
"Thank you for teaching Mama so she could teach us. Mr. Robby is very good at wraps and really fun to watch, so I wanted to try too.
Thanks for all the learning and fun."

And from me, thanks, WB

[Bobbi Holyoak]

Very cool! I love the colors hi picked!

[Robert Gage]

Congratulations, Hagen! A good whip, and a very promising techique!

[Rachel McCollough]

Thank you Mr. Robert and Miss Bobbi
Hagen really likes bright colors so that's what he wanted, his choice was after the scarlet king snake.., he said he read they eat other snakes, and which is tougher, the poisonous coral, or the snake that'll eat it...

They've watched and watched Whip Basics: A Beginner's Guide several times... It has improved their cracking skills a lot!

[Devin Bauer]

Pretty cool, best of luck to Hagen, you're never too young to learn a craft.

[Jessie Edwards]

There is my peanut. Tell him I need his advice on my first tapered twist.

Cool! Nice work, little dude! And I mean both the plaiting and the cracking

Just mind your eyes with that wrap. You only get two.

From Hagen:
Mr. Devin, thank you, you make cool flashlights.

Miss Jessie, thank you ma'am, I will help twist.

Mr. David, that is cool, can I be Warf?

Mr. Pokkis, thank you, yes sir the cracker goes faster than my BB's from my BB gun, I will be more careful.
