For those of you interested in making your own whips...
I can do a tutorial for the nylon whips...it'll take about a week as I need to get caught up on a couple of things. Or even an on board project if you like.
For first whips I would suggest a 4 foot snakewhip . (A short bullwhip with out the rigid handle), or the little more difficult 6 ft bullwhip. If you are interested post here.
Once you have the materials we could build them over a weekend.
Core on Fri, belly on Sat, overlay on sun.
By monday you'll be crackin'.
