Whipmaking instructions according to me!

[Paul_Stenhouse]

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!!

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.

Thank you for this advice!

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

Thank you, Dan. That's excellent!

By the way, if anyone wants the whole word file, I'll ship it out. Can I post a personal e-mail address here?

Hi
Is this email address still correct ? Can I send you email to get these instructions in a word file ?

Paul Stenhouse was last active in 2018 so you probably won't get an answer.

You can just copy the tutorial from his original posts and paste into MS word document

Too bad to hear that someone was not active for that long. I hope they are OK.
Were there any pictures in the document ? Because, If there were no pictures in Word document then there is no point in asking for it when I can do what you told me and simply copy text from here.
