Thanks for your support my friend, good luck on your upcoming projects!

Thank you for sharing😉😉😉

I bought one of your whips recently, so it's interesting to see behind the scene videos like this showing how they're made

Thanks very much for your support!

This is an amazing video on the whip making process, and I am a big fan of your detailed descriptions of the choices you make. I have tried making leather whips before, but this makes me want to dive into Kangaroo work.

Thanks so much! I hope you do play more with making leather whips, I think it's extra challenging of course, but very rewarding

Awesome video Tory! I’ve really enjoyed watching your whip making journey on this channel

Thanks so much Alyssum! Crazy seeing how many times and how drastically my methods have changed over time.

21:30 Similar thoughts recently from the nylon perspective. I can braid the overlay tight enough to get my optimal tension, and I think saving the tight braiding for the overlay gives me more control over where the tension lets up. I don’t like the idea of accumulating stiffness over multiple layers.

For sure, I used to think about it very differently, but sometimes the results defy reason and I think we have to temper our intuition with practice and field experience. I remember when I first started down the road of omitting binding from my transitions, and the first thing I found was that the arc of the thong looked great but I consistently had a kink right off the handle. So then I started experimenting with fewer bellies, no bellies, and graduated tension, and over time I got to a point where I can get that strong transition with fewer layers and no additional materials. We have to be willing to try stuff that doesn't make intuitive sense, I guess is my conclusion
