I seldom post these days but I thought I should affirm Jeanfifi's comments on the drop strands issue. I don't think I have seen a more concise and exact posting of this particular issue before with comments about the philosophy of plaiting whips in general thrown in for good measure. There is an ord...

I haven't seen the the news posted before so I guess it may not be widely known that David Morgan had a fall about six weeks ago and broke his hip. He seems to be doing o.k, he has a few nails and screws holding him together but he is getting around with the aid of stick and hopes to get rid of that...

Here is a short handled bullwhip Terry made recently. I thought it was a little unusual considering the handle length he usually uses. I don't think I have a photo of a bullwhip of his with handle length less than 10 inches. The info on it says 8 ft. 12 plait with 7 inch handle. I just thought it wa...

Hello Guys I hear the wise rulers of California are voting soon on whether or not to allow kangaroo products to be sold legaly in their fair state. I hope the decision gives the go ahead for this idea, I think it would calm the nerves of the whip traders who have been selling into the state regardle...

http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j74/mrrymen2/image-1.jpg For the movie fans. I found this photo when checking the album recently. These are the whips Terry Jacka supplied for the Rundown movie some time back. I remember talking to him about that time about these and he didn't have anything good t...

Here are a couple of photos of a few more of Terry Jacka's whips, I have a heap of these photos, so if you want anything in particular let me know and I will see if I can come up with something close. The first shot is of the thirteen and a half inch tapered handle target bulls twelve plait seven fo...

With your plaiting for the last 2 ft, how tight the plaiting ends up also depends on how wide your strands are in relation to the core. If you have wide strands and a small core, the plaiting will end up loose no matter how tight you pull. The trick is to experiment with the width of the strands, a...

Hello guys I have a whip idenification question here, maybe someone will recognize the style or plaiting on this stockwhip in for repair. The swelling on the handle grip reminds me of a Nemith or a Peter Clark, both whipmakers from Aust. The thong plaiting seems to be the standard herringbone though...

Here is the photo I said I would post of the old Tom Hill stockwhip. Considering Tom stopped making whips about 1975, this makes it at least thirty years old. There are a few typical traits on Tom's twelve plait handles, one is the five part four bight doubled turks head and the short piece of doubl...

I would like to thank you guys for the warm welcome you gave at my first posting called New Member (and special thanks to Mr. Fisk). I have been hanging around this forum for some time and found the depth of knowledge and the whipmaking abilities of the members astounding. It's great to find real di...

PostPosted: Wed May 24, 2006 11:35 pm Post subject: Welcome To Club Obi Wan. Those are great looking whips. I agree with Dan and Adam, I use a lot of Terrys whips too and they do look a lot like his extended handled bullwhips. Where did you get them? Dan Thanks for the welcome Guys. I know most of ...

Pardon me boys and girls. I just wanted to try posting photos and the rules say if I don't post anything I will be taken off the member list. So, being a virgin poster I thought I would have a go with a photo first off. If this doesn't work then I will probably stick to typing. regards Littlejohn ht...
