- There are images at the bottom of the page showing a portable way to make whipcording while siting or standing. It can be a stick or distaff (as used in hand spinning) tucked into your belt.

Interlocking or Making a Viking Whip-cord
&
Interlocking
by Jennifer Thies
"Margrethe Hald [p. 240] discusses a leather cord discovered among the Krogens Molle Mose material that could have been made using the whipcord method. Leather cord would have survived better underground than wool. Apparently Scandinavian children still practiced this as a game until recently. She also shows examples of a similar method used in ancient Persia and Palestine that involved slings for stones as the weights instead of bobbins. One of the main strengths of using this method to produce cording is that you are not limited, either by your arm span or amount of time taken, in the length of cording you can make. You can wind extra thread on the bobbins and let them out as you need a longer cord. You can also pause easily and let the bobbins hang and pick it back up at any time. One of the main weaknesses is that it is difficult to use this method for a cording that requires more than 4 threads." Source

Borre style metalwork in the material culture of the Birka warriors: An apotropaic symbol (12-page, PDF)
by Charlotte Hedenstierna-Jonson
- Fornvännen 2006(101):5, s. [312]-322 : ill.
"The use of the Borre style in the dress and equipment of the Viking Period warriors at Birka is presented and discussed. The absence of Borre style metalwork on blade weapons evokes thoughts on the symbolic meaning of the style within a martial society. An apotropaic symbolic role for the style is suggested."
I would like to look at both of these books:
