Taking a small break from my writing, while working on the format and deciding whether to continue the addition of the photos:
Here is the completed flogger:
The shoe glue completely cured on Thursday and it was ready for a stress test. So the back of the basement sectional got abused again (No not that way. My last name is not Vance) and all the falls remained in the handle.
For those who missed the prior post on it:
The handle is 6 inches of stainless steel tube capped on each end with a rubber cap. A chrome drawer pull on on the butt and the head cap was hollowed out to allow the falls.
The falls are 18" (overall) yak hide. The yak has a weight of about 4 oz (1 oz is 1/64 "), so it is fairly heavy, comparatively speaking. Knowing this, I was planning on only using 13 falls, but they were too thick for the tube and could only glue in 12.
