Hi David,

Thanks for posting, your generosity and eagerness to assist is appreciated. Of course if help is needed members may they simply post their questions here on the forum, after all that is part of why we are here. This way not only could they get help from your input but also benefit from the plethora of knowledge and lifetime of experience from the many professional whip artists, whip experts, hobby crackers and whip makers who frequent this forum on a regular basis. Not to mention take advantage of the numerous archival posts, excellent photo and video tutorials that have been posted in the past. For example when it comes to replacement poppers and materials, these various “threads” may be helpful.

But still, I also enjoy reading the emails so I am not forceing anyone to do anything. it's a "just so you know" thing.

David,

If you are looking to help others out then my recommendation is to continue what you've been doing. You know how to use Youtube, so create a Youtube video. Text is not easy to use when telling somebody how to make a cracker. There are a few Youtube videos already on how to make crackers, but you may be using a method that hasn't been shown on Youtube yet. This way many people will be able to see it and not just COW members. If you are using a method that you learned from another person, be sure to give credit where it's due. That's just manners that go beyond the world of whips. :TOH:
