Re: Adam Savage's self made Indy whip!
I've seen the clip several times and I am bummed he never took it out and cracked the whip... He also said "no whip cracker in his right mind would ever crack a whip this long. (11 feet)"
My 12' Strain is a peach; I love cracking that whip...I must not be in my right mind

Re: Strain vs Del Carpio . . . Three years later
Since making crackers is sort of a "side hobby" of mine, I tend to keep fresh crackers on my small collection of whips because I like the way a fresh popper sounds...just my thing and my two cents. Jeremy, I currently have your EB Whipcrackers whip and...ummm, wow!!! Great work!!! Keep it ...

Re: Whips: Just how delicate are they?

Re: When is cracker/popper replacement time?
I tend to change poppers often just to keep new ones on there...the whip sounds better all the way around with a new popper attached. I change at the point in time when the tassel strands become wispy pieces of feathery fluff. I make my own by the dozens (and in many cool colors) so I feel they are ...
