Making things

Much of last Sunday was spent musing about how I was going to make my new bullwhip, in honour of the new Indiana Jones film (said films being a primary reason for me doing an archaeology degree. Oh yeah, that and screwing up my history A level so I couldn't do history. Thanks, Dr Arthurson, wherever you are, for teaching us the wrong syllabus). But now I want to make one of these. Isn't it gorgeous?
Rob's comment: I will be lending Em my copy of Make Magazine issue 9 and pointing to p82 where they show you how to make a bullwhip.

1) A bullwhip made out of kangaroo hide hurts my heart. Can't they make satisfactory bullwhips out of synthetics? Or just plain old cows?
2) Em, did you honestly think that archaeologists were sexy, wisecracking world-travelers who battled Nazis on non-consecutive occasions?
3) That book-laptop is one of the coolest and prettiest things I've ever seen.

1) Quite right. Just grabbed the first google images pic - sorry about hurting your heart.
2) Yup.
3) We should make one.
