Stick the coupling onto the tubing and feed the couple of feet that you left sticking out of the main whip body through the coupling. Make sure that the taped bundle of rope and chain fits snug into the coupling. Pull the 3/16 rope tight and anchor it to the outside of the tubing. Then to form the knob at the base of the handle, zig-zag the rope and tape continuously as you go. For every zigzag, go around the tubing with the tape once. Cut off any excess rope. If you run out of rope, just add in some more from your stock.



Using the athletic tape, cover the open end of the PVC with two strips. From there, you can tape in a grip on the handle by anchoring the athletic tape (wrapping around once) and then twisting it to make the grip. From there, start at the bottom end of the handle and wrap around, overlapping each consecutive wrap by half the width of the tape.
