Putting knots on a Performance/Juggling whip and was reminded how important a solid heel knot foundation is. That knot is as important in how the whip responds as the thong is. It rests in the palm while the thumb steers the direction of a throw. And roll it out after the knot is in place. It should be as smooth as the rest of the whip.

More of the post I promised showing my build process. 4ft Snake Whip with shot loaded tapered core. Progressive binding to get a good spring, always checking to make sure the thong is firm at the base and then relaxed enough for a great roll out. I do a lot of rolling to compress and smooth out the foundation. That hand drawn diagram is a basis, not the full amount of binding, but you get the idea.

So...
I'm making a 4 foot snake whip and decided to share my build process. It begins with an actual tapered shot bag. Thin leather encased in Gaffer tape. It's cotton based and will always ensure a good foundation.
Yes, I understand that a tube of BB's can work as a shot load, but when you spend years learning how whips are made and perform the taper is key to a great foundation.
I use #12 lead shot. Recently learned I can replace that with steel. Thank you to my fellow whip maker for that information.

I always put 3 inches of 1/4 inch steel in my handle foundation to add weight and keep it from wiggling when throwing.

This is pre binding. I bind every layer of all my whips to build a foundation for great spring.
More pictures to come...
