To All You Whip Makers....

Post by darksideman13 »

I have two things. One is this video I found on youtube and thought was VERY cool and interesting

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmUID3rztrE

The man is quite talented. Rawhide (so I've heard) is very hard to work with. The other is a question. When you ship your whips, what do you do? Meaning who do you use to ship, how do you pack them, and what kind of box do you use. Thats about it actually.

Thanks!

I ship my whips in pizza boxes. I coil whips and tie them with some cord, tape the box and voila.

Video is very nice I think :)

He's making very nice braidings!

About shipping. I'm using large bubble envelopes or pizza boxes :). To ship I use my local postoffice services.

Why You ask?
