Whip Basics. The Forum

Gio, congratulations!

Flemming, was that you at 0:50?

Thank you so much Scott!
HI Flemming u forgot to replay about the Gitte'whip.
As you can imagine it will be a great pleasure and honor create a special whip for her.
When you'll want we can project together the design.
I have just in my mind a special model to present you

Mr. Celeste, the whip which you've shown in post # 361 looks mindblowing, thank you very much for sharing!

Congratualtions to your anniversery!
To many more decades of whipmaking to come!

All the best
Ben

Many thanks Ben, many thanks for your kind words and for your kind wishes!!
Now I'm curious which is the whip n. 361
I don't remember

A big congrats Gio. I agree with Robby, you are just getting started

Happy 20th plaiting anniversary to you, Gio! Indeed you are just getting started, and what a start!!!!! Elegant and beautiful.

Thank you dear Rachel!

Mr. Celeste, by "whip number 361" I meant the whip from post nummber 361 (the last whip which you have posted in this thread with the "Z" in the heel knot) - It looks superb!

All the best
Ben

Gio

Gio, 20 years is awesome! Your hard work and study really shows!

Thank you so much Tyler

Hello everyone!!!
Opening my next twenty years of whipmaking (I hope :-) )as i promised some days ago, i finally found the time to post some whips recently done.
Here a few specs.
I hope you like it
Gio

LC 10' whip








STANDARD BULLWHIP 8' 12PLT




TARGET WHIP5' 12PLT
Specs:silver cylinder and engraved cap on the base of handle.
Gaucho plait on the handle

Love the Indy photo set up, Gio - very clever. Gorgeous work as always.

:-) Many Thanks Sir R.!!!!

The black whip with the silver ferrule reminds me of the "Zorro" whip. I made some videos on natural roo hide whips and black nylon whips. But never on a black leather whip with such a ferrule. Perhaps it's time to do one. That whip does not only look very good, but artful, too!

Robby

:-) I get as a compliment about my work :-)
Why not to do another videos ;-)

I'm serious, Gio. I'm quite picky on what I do a review. And on whips/whip makers I will absolutely do not. I saw whips from you in that style and I really think that it is about time to do a video on such a whip. IF you think we should start such a project - just let me know.

Robby

Gio, heel knots! That smooth elegant taper Nd those fantastic heel knots mark all your whips as made by your hands. The falls are cut and finished perfectly, the bevel and (if I see this correctly?) "Back bevel" or a very slight bevel on the outside/skin side of the strands.
The Gaucho plait on the black whip handle, absolutely beautiful.
Perfection.

But the heel knots, and the fall hitches...!!!
The attention to detail is outstanding.

Beautiful work, my friend. Stunning.

I want to endorse all these positive remarks. Fantastic work, Gio!

Hi Robert,
I agree for the next videos.. I was only joking obviously but probably these are the limit of my English
