From falls & poppers to plaiting & cracking technique, this section is dedicated in memory of Sergei, IndyGear Staff Member and Whip Guru. Always remember to keep "Celebratin' Life!"
This Is my most recent whip I've made. It's a 6 foot, 16 plait whip with a 6 inch handle. Obviously its red . This was made for a customer out in North Carolina. I don't believe he is a member here. Cracks like a dream.
I've always thought that a red (or blue, green, violet, orange) would make pretty cool "Star Wars" whip. Just make the handle look like a light sabre and voila! A light whip!!!

laser whip?
yeah do a red/blue/green whip, cut out the handle strands, do that black and silver, do your heel knot black and silver ( mostly
black ) and do the transition black and silver, you have a lightsabre whip / laser whip.
you could also stick in a pvc tube (that's the right size) over the handle and paint it silver and add some doodads to make it look like a lightsabre handle...

plaiting it into the handle would look a lot cooler though
Funny you should mention that.
My next project is a bullwhip with a PVC handle.
I've got a 8" piece of 1/2" ID pipe, with a ping-pong ball filled with epoxy and bbs on the end.
Now Fenris is giving me ideas about making it look like a lightsaber....
