fshng84 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2017 Been wanting to whip finish tool with a larger gap then the one we bought at Cabelas. Finally got it done and made one! Post. Wanted one with a larger gap specifically to whip finish the foam grasshopper. Been doing it old school and tying whip finish knots with the hands. Going to use this one going forward but still good to know how to tie a whip finish without a tool, too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
