Steps:

1. Using a drill bit matching the diameter of the bolt, drill a hole through the top of the hollow steel pipe.
2. Insert the chain into the pipe so the first link is lined up with the hole.
3. Push the bolt through the hole, and tighten the washer and nut onto the other side.
4. Starting from at least a foot up from the handle, braid the kevlar rope through all the links. I folded the rope in half and then taped off the halfway point to the chains and then used the two rope halves to braid through each link, although anyway that gets the chain braided will work.
5. Tie off the ends of the rope to the end of the chain.
6. Roll the handle in your hands so the chain wraps around it.

Wow, that comment was a long time ago. haha. This (the flaming whip) is the kind of useless information that floats around in my head and then re-emerges at awkward moments.

Is that kevlar rope? looks more like cheapo cotton/polyester rope to me.

He mentioned that it was cotton because he was too impatient to wait for the Kevlar to ship, and then said that he didn't recommend using it because it starts to burn and fall off after a couple of minutes...
