Wedding Whips!

[Sir Roger Tuson]

My son Josh is getting married to Dawn this weekend and for various reasons, I am not allowed to attend. We have therefore created a wedding hamper for them both including hazelnut chocolate, Jaffa cakes (a kind of spongy cake with a chocolate and orange jam), Rose (rose-ay) wine and beer. We are in the process of also getting a silver plaque inscribed with a loving message but due to a mix-up, it won't ready in time

I thought I'd add something a little unusual so made this matched (bloody well nearly matched anyway!) pair of 3' mini bulls. They have a short section of BBs, about 25 x 4mm, a single 6-plt belly and 10-plt overlay. Dawn likes purple so her's has a mainly purple handle. Josh likes blue so his is opposite. I managed to get their initials and a heart picked out in their favourite colours. So, Josh's whip has a reminder that D loves J, and Dawn's reminds her that J loves D.

They both crack really well and are rather fast! Possibly the best I've made so far?!?!?!?!?!?!??????

Roger, I wish your son and new daughter in law (after this weekend, anyway!) a long and happy life together!
Nothing conveys love like a matched set of bullwhips! Those are just awesome, Roger! Just awesome!!!!
Look how nice and neat everything lines up, that is just cool! Well done, Roger, take a bow!!!

[Roy Partin]

Way to go Roger! Those are very nice indeed. I wish the newlyweds best of luck in their new life together.

[Jessie Edwards]

OH I LOVE THEM!!! Ha! Oh this is just perfect. You get the award for the coolest dad ever.

[Craig Frank]

Those are incredible!! I love the alternating colors. Congratulations to your son and his new bride.

[Fritz Ehlers]

Nice work,

and very cool present.

[Robert Gage]

I second what the others say: a very cool present!

Let us know what they think of them, in due course....

[Robby Amper]

Those whips are really nice, no doubt. And it is great that you do all that for your son; to give him a day to remember. What makes me sad is, that you won't be there. For what ever reason. Just keep it up, Rog!

[Sir Roger Tuson]

Thanks guys. I've come to terms with not being there. I just want their day to be the best it can be.

[Chris Castle]

Nice! Can only agree that that's quite a cool wedding present!

Lovely idea these "reminders". Love it when someone goes trough the effort to make a matching pair in opposite colors.

Also love jaffa cakes!

[Taylor Jennings]

Awesome gifts Roger. And as we have discussed, you WILL be there in their hearts. Let the "mother" have her glory, you and the kids know whats really up....

[Tyler Blake]

I'm sorry too that you can't go Rog, but I think you did a very classy thing! It's too cool that you put that message in the handles, great job!

[Jeff Roseborough]

Way Too Cool Roger! It is always gifts from the heart that are the most treasured. You obviously put a lot of yours into these whips and I'm sure your son and daughter in law will love them.

[Sir Roger Tuson]

Taylor - nail on head mate, nail on head!

[Bobbi Holyoak]

Very nice. I like the colors.

[David Cross]

Great pair, Roger. I can think of very little which symbolizes union better than a couple making sonic booms in the back yard together.

[Guest]

Cool

Go ahead and admit it, there's something weirdly fun in making mini whips

My niece has a 3 footer and it is so much fun. I thought a mini whip was only a foot or so long? I made a little one as a keychain out of paracord and it wasn't able to crack. Maybe it was too little.

[Taylor Jennings]

As a goof ive been working on one made of 95 cord. Aiming for a foot or so. Probably wont crack but will be a cute keychain. I hope.
