...Paul put this notice up on his website the other day:

"So what's all the hoopla about? Around the first of next year, I am planning on releasing an excellent resource to you that will help explain and show you how to crack a whip and care for it as well. I'm quite excited about this, and I know you will be very happy to own a copy. This invaluable resource explains basic and advanced cracking that you can learn and master. It also shows you how to care for your whip and store it AND how you can do simple repair work at home, with materials that are common to you. This is a resource that no whiphandler can do without, nor should they! There is no reason to send a whip off for repairs, and this resource is going to show you how simple repairwork can be done by YOU, and how easy it is do to. After that, you'll be right back to cracking in no time. This is something that everyone must have! Keep checking back for more details. I'll post them as they happen."

Sounds like Paul will be making yet another great addition to whipping.

That's excellent! I've been wondering about those exact things...especially the storing of my new whip. Right now, I've got it hanging in my new Keppler whip holder in my study waiting for the ground to dry out some so I can work with it. Is there a better way to do this? Anyone?

Regards!

My Swivel Handle 10 footer from Mark Allen is a need of a new fall, I was going to send it back to Mark but after I see this I may be able to replace it myself, like I want too. I can't wait!

Josh!
If you replace the fall of your swivel handle whip you could use aussie fall to make your whip like "half australian" whip!
I believe your swivel handle has large cowhide fall that you have to trim to work well!??
I did put narrow whitehide aussie fall to my earlier swivel and it came much more accurate and much more easier to crack!

Just a hint you may have cleared yourself already...
