c2369zulu Report post Posted February 28, 2013 Hello All. Just wanting to know where I need to start to begin making whips. Do I need books or DVDs or both or does one work better than others? Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks................Rory Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan Report post Posted September 18, 2015 Howdy! Start with the vids on You-Tube. They have ideas using paracord and various leathers. Some are better than others. The ones from Australia are pretty good. Then buy several books. Morgan has a good one. Good Luck, Stan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squirrelly66 Report post Posted September 24, 2015 You may want to learn the braiding techniques before jumping full into a whip. get familiar with 4, 6, and 8 strand braids. I'm building my 1st whip now but I've been braiding and getting familiar with the techniques for a couple months. Vids are good and so are books. I used David Morgan's Braiding fine leather book to learn the braids. I've done several key chain braids. I just got David Morgan's making whips book. Hope this helps.
