That's just too cool. And you have every right to toot your own horn. None of this would have come to pass without you having put it together. It's remarkable what one clip on a local show can do. From live in St. Louis to live in Hollywood. I think it's great that you are bringing the sport of whip...

You can find several nice pics of Kims whip holder in his post dated Tuesday July 26th entitled: My new>>CRACK<<Roberet Duke whip. The cost was $25.00 which included shipping from Denmark.

Best regards,

In a recent post from Kim Flugel (aka K on the Run, dated July 26), he posted a pic of a whip holder that he made for himself. I was so impressed with it that I contacted Kim an asked if he would be willingy to make one for me. Kim was most abliging in my request, and went as far as to send me a cha...

Randy, Congrats on your new Strain. I just recently moved to Sierra Vista and have been meaning to post a message looking for any other Arizona whip fanatics. I'm not a real IndyGear fan but have joined this forum for the abundance of information regardings whips. I had Adam Winrich make me a beauti...

Paul (Stenhouse), Thanks for your indepth explanation on the purpose of shellac. Makes perfect sense to me now. My first impression was that something like shellac, (depending on its ingredients) would be quite detrimental to leather. Does it have the same affect on any type of whip leather? My Winr...

Adam,

Outstanding in every respect. You may want to contact the Smithsonian or the Guggenheim, as I'm sure they would offer you top dollar. Have a great time in Ohio.

Best regards,

Jay

Henry, I am in total agreement with Molorom. Although it looks pretty nice in that pic, the lack of a fall on it is a dead giveaway for lesser craftmanship. And that being the case, there's no telling what else might be missing from it. I don't know have any idea what the asking price is, but I woul...

Indytwist, A great place to find a really well crafted whip at an exceptionally good price is www.winrichwhips.com. I know that Adam Winrich has made whips for several of the people in this forum (including myself) and I'm sure that anyone of them in here will vouch not only his craftmanship but his...

Congrats on your new whip. You must be very pleased. But there is one thing that perhaps you or some of the others here in COW can help me to understand. Why would someone shellac a fine piece of leather work like that? Is it simply for the asthetic (not sure of the spelling)value to make it shine? ...

Please take my advice and don't buy it. I had a an 18 footer just like it only it was brown and white. It's made in Mexico and it was a piece of junk. I'll bet you the guy's name your buying it from is Tony and he lives in south Texas near Brownsville. He goes across the border to Mexico and buys th...

I haven't been able to post for awile since I have left Wisconsin for southern most Arizona. But four days before I left the frozen tundra, my new Winrich bullwhip arrived just in time to make the trip with me. It's 10 feet long with a solid leather core, plaited belly, bolster and an 8 plait latigo...

I'm no expert, but here are a couple of tips that I have found useful. Just take it easy at first. Get used to having the whip in your hand and just toss it around without trying to crack it. Get to know where the tip of the whip is at all times. That is a big part of managing whip control. And when...

I joined that group shortly after joining this forum. The target stand I got this idea from was built by some guy named Ken, I think. They are probably of the same concept. You can modify it to suit whatever you want to do with it. Make it in pieces that can be torn down and transported or made stat...

I think it's fantastic that you are getting the sport of whip handling out to the masses in so many mediums. Perhaps it will catch on enough that we won't have to travel so far to get a group of people together. Best of luck to you and let us hear how things went. Best regards, Jay

How do I do that?

I just finished drawing up plans for a target stand on AutoCad that I am going to construct out of 1 1/2" PVC pipe and fittings. I got the idea from a picture posted in the whip enthusiasts group on yahoo and expanded on it. I called Home Depot and got pricing on the pipe and fittings. That tot...

Swindi, I misread your reply. I thought you asked if I had any more pics of the trip, not of the whip. If you scroll down to my first post, entitiled "first post", there are pictures of two of my whips. Both had the new falls put on, but the short one is being returned to the maker today. ...

Actually, I was refering to the old black and white television series. I remember him taking a cigarette out of Moricia's mouth. I don't think I've ever seen the the first movie in it's entireity. Is there some whip cracking in the movie too?

I seem to recall a fellow named Gomez Addams who was pretty handy with a bull whip. Who do you suppose made his? From what I can remember, they were pretty nice looking. "Hold still Morticia."

Swindi, I didn't think to take a camera with me. Duh. I scanned those four images on the scanner here at work. I will tell about my trip out to his home in another post soon. I am going to see if I can't bribe him into showing me how to do that. Being able to replace new falls like that would be a b...

Here are four pics of a new fall hitch that Adam Winrich put on two of my bullwhips this weekend. Having the new falls put on has made a world of difference on my 18ft and my 9ft whip. Adam is a remarkable person and very talented. I'm very fortunate that he only lives 199.8 miles from my house. I'l...

I find throwing leather to be many things. From the feeling of becoming one with the planet simply by being outside, to aggression management and a form of internal release. It can be a pretty good workout both mentally and physically as well. Most of the time I just don't want to put it down even t...

In regards to my last post regarding the falls on two of my whips, Adam from Winrich whips has offered his assistance and I will be sending him both whips to have new falls put on. Thanks to the others that replied with tips and ideas. This a great place.

I need a little help from anyone who can give it. I recently bought a couple of whips, but the falls on them are not exactly what I was looking for. The falls on these whips are made for cattle work, not target cutting and sport cracking. After just a couple of hours with my 18' whip, the fall is be...

Thanks for the quick response Hemingway and tips on pics. I hope I can get this to work. The first pic will be of my new Wayne Grady bullwhip. The other pic is of another Wayne Grady whip, but shows the fall much better. Any advice from anyone on what type of cracker/popper for target cutting I shou...

Hello everyone. This is my first post. I happened across this site and thought it looked like a great place to acquire and share information regarding bullwhips and such. I have a lot of questions and some things I would like to share with you in future posts. For right now, I could use some advice ...
