Members Em Brand Whips Posted November 4, 2009 Members Report Posted November 4, 2009 G'day All My name is Bernie Wojcicki and I am a full time whip maker. I have been making whips full time for a living for 36 years now and can honestly say I still look forward to going to my work shop every morning and starting the days work. My wife and I live on a 50 acre bush block where we have resided for the past 29 years.Living in paradise and working at something you love doing, what more could a person ask for? Then to top it all off along comes the internet where you can meet and share information with people from all over the world. I grew up in an era when not everyone had a phone or a car and to see the way technology has advanced during my lifetime has been indescribable. I came across this forum while looking for information on raw hide braiding as I've had a few requests lately for rawhide items, and plaiting mainly with kangaroo hide decided to see what I could find. So far this forum has given me a wealth of information and I hope I can return the favor to anyone who would like to know more about whip making.

rcsaddles Posted November 4, 2009 Report Posted November 4, 2009 Welcome aboard. Always nice to have another braider here. I'm sure you will be a wealth of information to those of us that like to braid and want to make a whip or two. Grab a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy.
