Whip in Progress

Post by brady »

I got word today from Bernie that he has started plaiting my whip. He send me some pictures so I can see the progress. I thought I would share and see what you all think. Its a pretty rough website (all of mine are) so bare with me. Tell me what you think.

Wow, I knew that making them had to be complicated, but from across the room, it looked like a tapeworm :shock: . These whipmakers have my respect.

In the first picture, is that the "steel spike" that we all hear about?

I think it's impressive that not only can he make whips, he's pretty good with photoshop too.

Cheers,
Pyro.

It's done!!!!!!! I got word this morning that my whip is all ready to be sent out to me. The past 8 weeks have been torture. Well I updated the site and threw some more pictures on it with the finished whip. Let me know what you think.

Congratulations!!

You are getting a very fine whip (and the price is quite fair too)!!

And remember it gets better and better every time You use it. It
is a little bit stiff in the beginning, but it will get better everytime You
use it!

AND remember a hat and savety goggels 8) - importent - not kidding,
such a whip hit REAL hard, belive me... :x

Best regards

JAN
