Whip Basics. The Forum

Count me in on a whip. Not sure what it will be yet, but will design something.

I'm in for a whip, but I won't know the specifics until July, after I get through my show. If time allows, I may donate some art also, but it's too soon to say for sure. Definitely a whip though

I think it's time for me to step out of the shadows. I'd like to contribute a whip this year. There are a bunch of new designs I have planned. Just gotta figure out which one.

Keanu, that's great news!

I've already described my donation in post #2 in this thread. Here are some photos:

Robert, that's an interesting piece! Do you find that the extra turksheads effect the action? When I first started learning, I was making snakewhips that looked similar to this with grapevine service running between two knots up on the thong.

Tyler, the extra turksheads act a bit like a very short handle - so this doesn't behave quite like a 'normal' snakewhip. As I said in my description, 'fixing' various problems with this whip would be a very interesting project. Still, even without that, 'it 'works'!

From what I've read in 'How To Make Whips' (p101-102), this looks like a blacksnake: a heavy snakewhip designed to be reversed and used as a club.

Matt, that's what I was thinking of too

Please count me in on the whip donation - I haven't thought about the specifics yet but I'll post them here soon !!!
Of course I'll buy tickest as well and I'll also add another price !!!

All the best
Ben

Matt, I'm sure you're right: a blacksnake.

Sorry for the lack of communication, but I still plan on making a six foot German flag whip. I just need to finish my Frankenwhip 2.0 and then I'll get to work. When do we need to have the donations done by?

The first of September I think. I'll have to look at the donations thread when I am on the lappy tomorrow, or you can look. The donation whip thread.

I think yes the 3rd of September.

Thank you. I'll get it done before the end of the month.

"Scrappy" Snake is ready for the overlay. Just arranging colours from my bag of 'bits'. Looks like two shades of blue, some 'rust' and silver :/ The lengths are cut, I just need to decide the ordering of colours.

Well Friends, I've counted no less than 13 whips that have been stated they would like to donate, that's GREAT!!!!!
That's not a small pot!

Once the donation whips are completed, where should we post pictures/descriptions of them?

This thread says the donations-
But maybe our admins would like to open one thread for just photos and descriptions of prizes so there is no jumbled content?

Just a "Prizes" and a simple "$5 per ticket gets you a chance to win one of these, winner responsible for shipping costs"?

Yeah, that's why I was asking, I didn't want to derail this thread or just make it confusing with pictures.
