Adam Winrich style whip (Page 3 of 5)

Jyri, that is a beautiful knot.

Autocorrectasaurus got me... Concho, not poncho. And how is it that "autocorrectasaurus" is left alone?!?

Thank you!

Here is another one with this style.

This time i used steel rod as the handle.
Some thinking about this style:
I think that as the strands go lenghtwise and they are not bound they condense as you plait and you dont have to pull as hard when you plait. As they are pressed down they want to push outwards and that way they keep the plaiting tight.
I tryed to plait as hard as i usually do but that section came out way too stiff even that there is no binding under this belly.

I don’t quite understand the push outwards when pressed down part, but I‘m not into plaiting and whipmaking details. But I‘d like to see a video of Jyri-made Winrich-style whip in action

Thank you Jyri this makes it clearer! Seems to be an interesting experiment for sure

Thanks!

I made the heel knot and mounted the concho. Tomorrow i'll try to do the transition knot and hopefully i get to wax these two whips soon.

Jyri, this is fantastic! I really like the contrast bestrewn the blue and the silver - the concho is a beautiful finishing touch.

Jyri - just for my understanding. Why do you was the whips ?

I am fully aware that it will ad some different characteristics to the whips, but I have 6 ft and 7 ft whips without wast and they are performing very well indeed. They are more light weighted, but in fact sometimes I see this as an advantage (if it performs).
