One bit of advice--always take notes on what you did/do.
David told me to write down measurements--me, being too smart (cocky and young) told him I didn't need that. Two whips later, I realized I needed to write stuff down otherwise I would be making it up each time.
I made two whips 7 and 9 feet in length. I wrote down all the measurements. From those, I was able to put it into a table and extrapolate/interpolate the measurements to make anything from 3 to 16 feet. It's how I developed that table that I think is in the tutorial.
Otherwise, I'm still doing great. I miss talking to Walt (Sergei) and being younger!!
Whipmaking instructions according to me!

Re: Whipmaking instructions according to me!
Such great advice! I also forget to write down all kinds of measurements and techniques I use. But I definitely noticed how fast you can do something when you know some things in advance, from previous whips.Paul_Stenhouse wrote:One bit of advice--always take notes on what you did/do.

I will admit, taking notes is something I haven't -- but should have -- done.
