First whip: belly



My first belly is ready. Actually it is my second, but the first one was all twisted and didn't have a chain inside, so it doesn't count.

I filled 150cm paracord with beaded chain and folded it into 100cm long core that I taped with duct tape. This too got a little twisted, but not very much. After rolling it was relatively even.

I plaited the core with 6-plait using two 3 meter cords and one 2 meter cord, taped it again for smooth taper and rolled again. Result was decent, I think.

Final belly is now 100cm long with beaded chain running all the way to the end.
