Whip Basics. The Forum

That's super, Jyri!

Whip cracking keeps us young!

Thanks very much, Rachel! This really is a masterpiece!

Another fine whip, Ben! And, as you know, I consider 6.5 feet a very good length.

Rachel, this is simply stupendous! You are most fortunate - and the triubute implied by this wonderful gift is totally deserved, too!

You don't say how long it is. I would guess between 6 and 7 feet....

Well done, Ralph! The poster is gone! Many, many thanks!

Thanks, Ralph! I've done that - but the poster is still there!

Hi Ralph,

Here's the poster:



It's at the top left, covering the word 'Whip' in 'Whip Basics', and goes down as far as the word 'Problem'.

Lieber Ralph, Nur eine Anmerkung zum neuen Forum. Das „Dead or Alive“ Poster von Jesse James (oben links) verdeckt einige der Optionen. Ist es möglich, es ein wenig seitwärts (nach links) zu verschieben? Ich denke, Du hast einen tollen Job mit dem Forum gemacht. Vielen, vielen Dank! Viele Grüße, Rob...

This is great, Jyri! And, if you drop it, you will certainly see it in the snow!

I increasingly like 7 foot whips.

That's fantastic, Ross! The colours are not really for me, either - but I always like whips that can be called a beast, as Ron does this one!

A job well done!

Ethan, that would require a far steadier hand than I have! And I imagine the fibrous nature of palm makes it almost impossible to work....

Well, Ethan, before waxing I think that looks great!

Ethan Mitchell wrote:I want to do some pattern work with two colors.

In that case, Ethan, I'd go for whichever brown is more different from the 'acid brown' as the second colour - but definitely not white!

Ethan, for what it's worth, my vote would be for acid brown - especially with a wooden handle.

These are good photos, Ethan! And the whip looks almost new, despite two years of use. I seem to remember a video you posted of this whip in action, soon after you got it.

Ethan, I can see the pictures very well....

Ben, that black and white whip is very fine - but white whips always make me a little nervous, since I can't believe they will stay white for very long! :P

Ben, this is superb! I can 'feel' just how precise it will be in action!

Ross, that Indy whip really looks like leather, until one examines it very closely. Well Done!

I very much like the two-colour fall. Very stylish!
