Today I thought I would show you all how to roll the infamous Cat's Whisker joint.
I would like to mention that today's joint will be rolled by my good mate "S" from the UK.
As you can tell from picture 1, these are the materials we will be using. "S" has taken two OCB's and cut one in half adding another half to the other creating an extra long paper.
You can see the medium spread out and ready to roll in picture 2. I would have used a brace to brace the joint while I was distributing the medium, but as you can see "S" has chosen to use a sort of half brace by placing one end of the joint on top of a box of papers.
Picture 3 is just a gratuitous kief shot.
Pictures 4 and 5 are showing the joint in various stages of rolling completion. Notice how the thumbs are used to sort of press the medium into place and then used as a guide for rolling upwards while tucking in the other side of the paper.
