my whip is huge!!

Post by Indiana George »

I ordered this 14 foot whip from ebay, it looked nice but when i got it in the mail today, it was huge! First 14 foot is loonnngggg. and the handle is the girth of a table leg and eventually gets thinner as the whip extends but its way to big to wear on a belt, back to the drawing board. lol

ok, hope this works, this is the pic off ebay, looks normal here but its very thick at the handle but tapers out. i think I'm going to measure off 9 foot and then cut it, then put a thinner handle back in and rebrade it.

With a whip that big, people will think you are trying to compensate for something :wink:

I picked it up for 25 bucks including shipping. It truely is 14 feet long with the three long tasles at the end, it's a monster. I wound up brading the three tasles to make it go a bit thinner at the end. I'm no brading expert but it turned out ok. Remember, all this was surposed to just be a 'costume'. However, I really am bittin by the bug and am trying to get as much decend gear as I can before Halloween. I still need a good bag and strap.
