Adam Winrich style whip

[Flemming Bo Christiansen]

Jyri - I have always been impressed of your concho's - I love that mirror you can make in them

[Mark Elliott]

Jyri, that is a beautiful knot.

[Scott A. Cary]

Jyri, the heel knot and poncho are a striking combination - well done!

[Scott A. Cary]

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

[Scott A. Cary]

Jyri, the heel knot and poncho are a striking combination - well done!

[Jyri Haveri]

Thank you!

[Jyri Haveri]

Done!
Pics are in my whip thread!

[Jyri Haveri]

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.

[Flemming Bo Christiansen]

Jyri - I sound like you are close to an explanation on the "loose plating"

[Wolfgang Timm]

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

[Jyri Haveri]

Wolfgang, it would be much easier to explain it to you in Finnish but it would be much harder for you to understand it
You squeeze something, like a sponge, as you let go it goes to its original size and shape.
When i bind my cores the sponginess goes away as i bind it and drive all the movement out from the cord.
When the cords aren't binded, just compressed by the plaiting it feels like the strands has this effect inside the plaiting.

[Wolfgang Timm]

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

[Eric Roethe]

Nicely done. I like the two different sizes, and I love the polish on that brass.

[Jyri Haveri]

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.

[Ron May]

Jyri, I really like that concho.
Nicely done.

[Scott A. Cary]

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

[Jyri Haveri]

Thanks!


Here is the transition knot unrolled.

[Flemming Bo Christiansen]

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).

[Mark Elliott]

Jyri, that looks fantastic. Nice work.

Flemming, I wax my whips because I like the way it feels and the way it looks after waxing. It gives the entire whip a little extra mass. It also tightens it up considerably. Best of all though is that it gives the whip a weathered look that I like.

[Flemming Bo Christiansen]

Mark - got it. I like the look of a waxed whip too, but when I grab a whip on the wall without thinking much about it is a light weighted non-waxed whip at the moment (just for the moment)

Thanks for your opinion
