Whip Basics. The Forum

Thank you so much Robert !! very kind of you!

Love the twisted handles Gio. Nice work.

About those handles, are they rattan?

Pokkis - Nope. No rattan. Watch the video, I made about Gio's "Tamer" whip. There I give a detailed explanation about the handles and how they are made.

Gio - great work. Simple looking, yes. But when one watches closely, the details are revealed. Congratulations to that order. To that project!

Thank you so much for your kind words Robert

Robby, thanks for the video, I had missed that one for some reason. If this is how the handles are made, I'm even more impressed. That takes lots of patience. So the handles are flexible like in that Tamer whip?

The beauty is in the simplicity. I love them all Gio. You make a simple prop stand out and shine

Thank You Roy!!!! glad you like it

Beautiful Gio. Love the handles (judging from the responses here, so does everyone else!)

Very elegant looking whips Gio.
I remember the handle design from the tamer whips.
That was a good choice to go with on these.
Congratulations on the order for the film too.
You must be pleased.

Looking good Gio!

hi Guys, here below some pics of my latest works
Kind Regards

Indy style 16plt 8ft nylon:





Details of Snake whip 24plt 3ft




Dog leash 8plt:

Your plaiting is so perfect, elegant work... Beautiful!

Pretty good work, Gio - as always. The snake whip would be way too slim for my hands but very well made! The dog leash looks very good to me, too. But... I am not THE Indiana Jones fan, but on that Indy whip there are two things which had my attention immediately. The color. That very light brown together with the white hide fall is simply perfect. Is it really that light or was it an effect of the lightbox you used? Second - the heel. What is it you built into the heel knot? It looks silverish, like glass. Is it a piece of glass there? Anyway - if glass or metal - this accent makes this whip a very special one. I would never come up with the idea of using such a thing in the heel of an Indy whip. Gio - detail shots. Please!

Beautiful work as always Gio, how do you like the leather fall on a nylon whip?

Very nice work!

Thank you Guys for your kind words.
here below the color of paracord that i've used for the indy whip.
It's called Tan-
Re leather fall vs. nylon fall in nylon whip, i think that the leather fall give more "gain and power" to the action of the whip, but at the same time i prefer put nylon fall in nylon whip.
The whitehide fall was a particolary choice of my customer.
re. heel knot, Robert what you see at the base of the knot is simply the head of the spike !! :-)
Thanks again
G

Then it should be your next project to do exactly this - add kind of polished metal or uncolored glass.
That look added so much style!

Robby

Yes i agree with you!!!
