Well this is my second whip...a vast improvement over the last one. It is 9 feet long and cracks like a canon.

Thanks to...
Bernie -em-brand whips for the great tutorial.
dallasdogsled.com- another tutorial
and for the advice and inspiration from
louiefoxx

arthur dent &
Pyramid Blaster...

Good looking whip! Is much better than the last one. I think the secret to the second whip is the sheer determination not to make it look like the first whip. I'm working on #3, an 8 footer, right now but I need to buy more cord.

Good luck...

Thanks Arthur...You are right about the determination.
BTW I bought my cord at http://www.georgia-outfitters.com/
$45/1000ft

You're coming right along! See? I told you....Nice lookin' whip there!

Heck. You don't need my help at all! (but I'll still offer it if needed!)

We gotta hook up to crack these babies!

Yeah we do!
I'm going to make it to one of those whip enthusiast meetings over in Tampa one of these days.

Definitely quite a bit of improvement! That's a pretty nice looking turks head knot too. Good job

Thanks for all the encouragement guys...it really helps...
And Lemon Lauren...I am especially proud of that rackin' frakin' turks head. It took about 5 tries. I felt like that muppet composer who continuously beats his head on the piano keys when he messes up. 2 more and then *gulp*...going to try leather.
