Members DSJackson Posted May 5, 2010 Members Report Posted May 5, 2010 Awesome! I love those old popular science magazines. Though before my time, my childhood was spent doing this type of stuff. Later as most boys do, I would move on to making gunpowder and blowing up apples. Quote

Members bullwhips Posted May 6, 2010 Members Report Posted May 6, 2010 One of Ron Edwards booklets has a method for making Braided snakes from roo. I saw one that david morgan made about 30 years ago when John Leonetti and I were doing a whip cracking workshop with David's son Will in January. You can see David Morgan's snake at http://web.me.com/jo.../122709.html#60. Here's a SNAKE signal whip that I made a few weeks after seeing the braided snake that David Morgan made: My braided snake has a checkerboard plait on the back and sides and an over two under two type pattern on the bottom to look more like a snake. Here's a close up of the snakes belly: This signal whip cracked very well and it was a fun project. Louie Quote http://bullwhips.org
