Whip Basics. The Forum

@ Robert Gage:

Thank you very much Sir!

@ Ron May:

Congratiulations !!!
The finished "Blue Lightening" whip looks and flows awesome (thank you for sharing the video!!!) and the TH,s look very very good (I knew you were grown up already ) !!!

You have done an outstanding good work on your second (!!!) whip and you can be very proud of what you have achived !!!

All the best

Ben

Ron, this is a HUGE advance. Your plaiting is a straight as a ruler and, transition aside, the thong rolls out straight and true. I am 24 whips in and STILL struggling with twisting in the last 10" of thong!

My congratulations.

Thank you very much Ben.

Ron

Roger, there are some waves in the pattern in the handle and some variations going down the thong, but all in all it was a very positive learning experience ending in a very user friendly functioning whip.

Ron

Well done Ron- the first thing that pops out at me on the pic is how good you did on the seams. The video looks good too- the transition could be stiffer, but we'll all look forward to seeing a post wax video

Thank you Tyler, especially coming from such an accomplished whip maker.
"Maybe I should do more on the transition.....?" my answer to myself should have been "Hell yeah!".

Ron

Nice cracking and even nicer handiwork. Excellence is a word that comes to mind.

Ron,

It's taken me awhile to catch up, but I wish to thank you for the tour through this build. I've learned a great deal from the discussion shall apply the knowledge to my upcoming 2nd build, too.

Brian

Thank you Brian.
I too learned a great deal from this build too.

Ron

Thank you Grant.
But excellence is a long way off.
I am definitely improving.

I would say so!!!

Rachel,

I like how your whip rolls out slow. Looks awesome . Well done sir.

Thank you Brandon.
It's driving me crazy not cracking it while waiting on getting a turkey roaster to wax it.
But I sure want to see what the difference / advantage of waxing it is.
It is a slow heavy whip and it suits my preferred style to a 'C' .

Ron

Ron is just got to watch your video (finally!!!) and I have to say,
You Did Great!!!!!
Very well done!
Take a bow, Sir!

Thank you Rachel.
Part of that is because of you.
Thank you.
