Thanks Einar, Robert, and Mario! Thanks Bobbi, did you also feel that you'd completed a herculean task on your 12 footer? :)

Thanks Roger, Craig, Erik, and Fritz- Fritz, of course Robert is quite correct :P

Thanks Pokkis- I really do feel that in the plaiting, it compresses down to the same dimension as the dacron. To publicize the new lace, I was thinking of doing some sample plaiting on a section of dowel with a paracord pattern, and then a black and white dacron pattern and then a wave lace pattern to show the differences and similarities. I do use the exact same plait count and thickness ratios though. To illustrate, my first pipe whip was done with dacron, and it fit exactly the inner diameter of the pipe with no room for increase. I made a wave lace pipe whip with the same build and it fit exactly the same :)

That would be a perfect picture for the 'About Us' page on your site. This is such an exciting development!

I've just had a note from Robby, who' asked me to post this: he's extremely busy today, and simply doesn't have time. (I think it's amazing that, busy as he is, he's managed to make this review!)

Anyway, here it is: Tyler's new Night Train. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muPrxd3xIcc

Mr Robert, thanks a bunch for relaying this to us. It was great to watch Robby in action again. His humor always makes my day a little brighter and his whip handling skills are a joy to watch. I wish somebody would please get that man some more tea. Loved the video Robby. All the little details of the whip are amazing. Its easy to tell that Tyler puts a massive amount of time and effort to bring his ideas to life. I loved the pics of Tyler at his work bench. That whip in action was eye candy for me. It seems like the perfect balance of weight and speed for all around performance. I can easily see that model in my collection in the future. Well done Tyler, Robby and the video crew.

Very cool review of a fantastic whip.
The information you can get from all the reviews and mini videos is growing into a library of information that anyone who wants to look into getting a whip should have a browse through.

Thanks Robby for putting it all together not just for us but for anyone and everyone who wants to be informed.
The reviews aren't a sales pitch but they give you all the information on whips and craftsmen that need.

Tyler, you raise the bar with every piece of work you produce. Well done.

I have a hard time wrapping my head around the concept of Dacron. I am seeing fishing line in my head, but it looks like more in the pictures? Anyway, congratulations on another success. I hope I am a proud owner of one of your whips someday :)

Thanks for posting that Robert!

As always, a huge thank you to Robby- for the reviews (all of them, not just mine), advice and friendship :) I liked the way you tied it in with the show whip from Bobbi- it gives people a good idea of what would work well for them based on what their goals and interests are. Also, big thanks to Mario for the stunning pictures and the rest of the crew :)

Thanks Roy, this one was a long time coming and it did go through a bit of trial, error, and revision!

Thanks Fritz!

Thanks Jessie! It's a weave like paracord, it's just smaller from finer thread. If you're curious, I can send you a sample- you never know, you might like to try plaiting with it :)

Thank you for posting that Robert.

Loved the video about the " Night Sky". Funny but very informative.

It's totally amazing craftsmanship and detail.
The aged brass is a very nice touch.

There is good news for you, Robert. I know the guy who makes them! I could talk to him and - perhaps! - he would consider selling one to you ;) It's really a great whip and I think it was good to mention Bobbi and her Show whip in the vid. That way people have an idea where the Night Sky is standing. The weight distribution is fantastic.

Thanks for your comments on my video. It took a while to do it, but now, well...

I still think it was the best one. I can see you are very happy right now. The whip is beautiful and you are obviously happy with it. I really would love to try it myself. it really looks like it was made to move...And the next time you say, "Jessie-hit it!" Let me know. I will be more prepared with something. ;)

Well.... my master plan was to have a huge collection of these lying around, but I guess I could consider selling one to Robert... Robby seems to think he's OK...:P

Thanks Jessie!

It's such a work of art, I wonder how you could frame it for when not in use?
Seriously, I would never need the frame though.

That would be a whip that one could learn properly on.

Unfortunately my " Zombie Bitch" has turned into a snake whip with a handle.
Or a bullsnake if you prefer. (transition, transition transition....)
