Whip Basics. The Forum

Beautiful! Custom work always looks great. Math....pfft.

Thank you, Erik. The taper is something that's very important to me to figure out what how much for what length.
Roy thanks, that's crazy how it looks the same then you put it in the wax and BAM! Whole new color scheme!
Oh Jessie, I don't dare do that, I might get into major trouble, Taylor would wonder why Sister got one before Brother.... That's not a pickle, that's the whole jar!
Thanks, Jessie and Taylor! Yes Taylor, custom I do on each one, who needs math. Everyone already knows 2+2=5. It's a no brainer....

Exactly! I know I need to start paying more attention to the math but I am with Devin in the "just feel it" club. And I hereby sadly give brotherly permission should you choose to give Jess that one. I will be contacting you soon about swapping secret stuff for a handle. I gotta step my game up...you are killing my 'work'. Congrats!

Now Taylor, your work I look forward to see as always!
Hey anytime,authentically made by hand handle, I will save one for you!

My nephew's new whip, 14" cherry handle and 6.5ft. Single belly 12plait. He seems to be pleased.

So pretty!!!! I love blue

Rachel, he jolly well ought to be pleased! Very nice!

Are you having fun with that lathe?

Thank you Jessie, Yes I am and I love blue too . Got a bunch to do on projects still.. Jessie I know my nephew wishes you were closer to show him how to handle this whip

Mr. Robert, thank you . Yes Sir, he's been playing with it all day! He's doing quite well not to sling it hard, I told him to remember Finesse, not Force.... Wish I was better at handling one to show him.

Maybe someone needs a Robby video, eh? That sounds fun...whipping.

If the landlord's people weren't here at the moment, I think I would do that very thing...They seemed to have just showed up to pound on something after not being here for a while. A couple of weeks anyway... My husband should be thrilled as soon as he gets woke up. And 3...2...1...ahh yes. There is that loud swearing I am so fond of...Joy.

That electric blue? Its gorgeous. Mine can be a exact copy of his. I am sure the youngun is jolly well chuffed.

Hey Taylor! Where have you been?

That looks great Rachel! All the colors go really well together, including the handle

Here and there and everywhere. Tent living and fighting w phone company takes its toll. Cant see phone by end of day so I just count scoundrels (squirrels) til I pass out sorta. And down to 6-8 cigs a day. Hate the nigutmares from patch but still doing my best. Mostly.

Nice work Rachel, I like the handle, good length too.

Sounds like you're having a rough time Taylor, there is never a good time to kick the habit though, keep at it.
When you're down, write a song, troubled times can be inspired times.
I hope you get this behind you soon

Thank you Fritz..I am trying to just deal with one hour at a time. My song...."dammit, wah...poor me". Bestseller?

You bet. Let us know if we can help you Taylor. No one should have to walk alone.

Thank you Taylor, hang in there.
Dude, 6-8 per day is better!!!!! better is good!! yep you could definitely improve the quality of a lot of these current song lyrics with that right there. Sounds more interesting than some if that "ice ice baby" type of prose.....
Hang in there. Don't ever give up
Celebrate the successes, each one. Electric blue, yes good eyes

Jessie hope your day gets better!

Tyler, thank you. I really like the color of that cherry. It's finer grained and as a shorter handle with a lighter whip I think it'll last.

Thank you, Fritz! I was happy to see this young fellow enjoying this whip. It's a small thing compared to what he has been through. He's a great and tough young man. I admire him.

Rachel - looks great! I love the handle, the knots on the handle, the final twisted section of the thong, etc.

I think its epic. I actually got to crack a couple of Rachel's whips. I liked the longer one. It was kind of fun to play with.
