Whip Basics. The Forum

Excellent work Rachel.
I can imagine working with the blend of old with new was a little challenging and fiddly.

Ron

Thank you, Ron! It took around 30 minutes to look everything over and make a plan. About an hour of plaiting and it was fixed, then of course the waxing. I just dropped strands and added strands as needed to meld the new in.

Thanks for the explanation.
Great job. Making something old and broken, functional again is a big deal.

Ron

Outstanding work Rachel!

Ben

That is amazing work, Rachel. As usual I am in absolute awe of your talent.

Ron, Ben, Mark, thank you so much!

Here is the video on how it flows:

It is 11’ 2”.


Garret has to try it out, too:

Wow, Rachel. The flow of the whip is amazing, it makes the throw look effortless.

Rachel that is truly awesome work

Julia, Ross, Thank you!

Falls in progress... nearly done with them. More to do, but so very close!

Very nice tease Rachel.
I can't wait for the main course.

Ron

The handle looks very smooth, I imagine this is how it feels as well.

Heh!

Arrhhhh........ Rachel !

Thanks, Ron!

Thank you, Julia! I hope so, they are sanded to 1200 grit. They still have a little few tool marks if you look close.

Mr. Robert, Flemming, thank you! More to come!!

Thumbs up

Ben

Thanks Ben!

Today, correcting and replanting after finding a mistake, the triplets.

Rachel, this is what makes the difference between a whip maker and a great whip maker.
Very nice.

Ron

Superb attention to detail, Rachel! Ron's right!

Thank you, very much! They must be right, and soon will be complete.
