Just go to him - second star on the right and straight on till morning

Oh ok, I didn't know he lives in neverland.

ST

Thanks for the tips.

I heard somewhere that his spam filter some times cleans more than it should. Which makes me wondering if, because I use hotmail, my emails were getting filtered out?

ST

As the title says I have been trying to contact Steve Delk about my order for some time now, with emails and a few pms, but I haven't gotten any response.

So, dose anyone know how to contact him?

Thanks

ST

Canada Eh. I wonder if he lives nearby, probably not, nobody lives nearby.

ST

I'm quite sure that those whips aren't made with the swivel handle, but I could be wrong.

ST

Ok, that's just AWESOME.

ST

ST

Canuck Digger, I think I mostly just wanted to try the hole process but if I can't find any then I'll get one from him. I might have to give Mr. Scott a call.

Thanks

ST

Did you try the Tandy leather factory? My sister goes to collage in lacombe and when I visited her last year I almost went to Edmonton just to go there. They sell latigo strips that are about thick enough for falls. http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/home/department/Leather-Belts-Leather-Straps/4752...

ST

Thanks that's very helpful. I haven't had much luck with google but i'll try your suggestion. There's a few machine shops in my town that I plan on calling today and hopefully they'll know a place where I can get some. As for toheti cane, I found a place in Australia that will sell cut lengths. http...

ST

Hey, It's been a while since I posted anything but I have a problem. I'd like to make a full plait stockwhip handle, I found a place to get toheti cane but I can't find any spring steel. My question is, dose anyone know where I can order some spring steal rods? Thanks in advance. ps. I live in BC Ca...

ST

So I was watching this clip again http://www.king5.com/archive/60404367.html and at the very end the guy says that there is another book with a dvd that is coming out. I am just wondering if anyone knows anything more about it?

ST

Sweet! What a lucky kid! If he keeps that up he'll be giving Adam Winrich a run fore his money soon.

ST

OH MAN !!!!! that is so awesome I can't believe it.

so much whip, so little money

but your next on my list.

ST

Those are absolutely awesome!

Do you have any pics of the strand drops on the checkerboard 24 plait whip? If you do I would love to see them? I have always been fascinated by the idea of an entirely checkerboard whip.

ST

Thank you, that was vary cool.

BTW, don't forget to listen to the mp3 below the pictures.

ST

ST

This is what I made http://i491.photobucket.com/albums/rr279/recnepsproht29/IMG_1657.jpg I got the idea from some of Paul Nolan's pics. Since that picture was taken I moved the bottom board up to the bottom of the top one, because all the bullwhips would slide off if they weren't on just right. It's...

ST

The stuff I'm using is pretty soft.

Where do you get this stuff? The paraffin wax I have is as hard, or harder than most candles.

ST

ST

And a 2009 Morgan.

I tried soaking White hide falls in melted pecards so that it could penetrate all the way through, I either left them in too long, or it was too hot because the falls came out hard, stiff and brittle.

I don't know what wax would do, this is just my $.02

ST

ST

Sorry.

Pm sent.

ST

Cool, what color is it? It's kinda hard to tell on the computer.

ST

Thanks, but making those whips was spread out over about 2 1/2 years

ST

I have made: 6 full sized roo bullwhips, 2 latigo bullwhips, 3 latigo stockwhips, 2 nylon bullwhips, 5 mini roo bullwhips, 1 cowhide mini bullwhip, and remade 2 vary cheep vary bad cowhide bullwhips. That's 21 total and the 10 ft was my latest one. Also, thank you everyone for all your compliments. ...

ST

Full sized roo whips, or all whips in total?

ST

Louie Foxx's blog I a great place to pick up tips. http://bullwhips.org/ And I highly recommend getting his e-book. http://bullwhips.org/bullwhip_store/viewitem.php?groupid=6&productid=20 It helped me a lot. How to Make Whips, Whips and Whipmaking, 2nd Edition, and Braiding Fine Leather are whip...

ST

Thanks everyone. Yah, I was very nerves, and the stunt men did seem quite surprised. :whip: One thing about David Morgan is he is very honest when you ask him about a whip you've made. I've been told he does this because you learn better by an honest critique than fake compliments...but he also prai...

ST

Ok here's the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bma45YNGwm8 I didn't do anything more than slow figure eights because I didn't want to embarrass myself by rapping the whip around my head. :oops: The Whip I was making in the last picture is a 8 ft 12 plt vary heavy. It was kinda funny, when I was...

ST

Thanks Guys.

I'll work on putting up a few more pics and the video too.

The Russell Shultz stock whips, I love them, I just haven't realy cracked them.

ST

ST

I haven’t posted anything for a while now, so this is going to make up for that. As the title says some of these stories go back to Nov. 08. I meant to post all of these things as they happened but procrastination set in every time, and it all built up untill now. With the arrival of two new whips I...

ST

I love your smiling face as the newspaper confetti falls

ST

Did someone mention wanting to see some more Terry Jacka whips?

Ok, sorry couldn’t resist posting that picture.

You make me sick ya know that.

Just kidding, but I do think you need to pay to clean all the drool out of my keyboard.

ST

Bernardo, 2000 seems to mark a noticeable change in the David Morgan bullwhip. Well there was a lot people worried about y2k and that sort of thing, at that time. Maybe they were all hanging out at his shop. :anxious: As for my ultimate Indy whip I think I already have it, a standard Mar. 09 10' DM...

ST

You better be kidding.

ST

Since you can only crack two at a time, can I have one.

Just kidding.
BTW

ST

BTW, did you notice the whip holder beneath the photo of the whip on the Strain website? Looks a lot like Wade's Super Holder...

It is. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=42175

ST

ST

Ooo, I love the colour.

ST

Excuse me for my ignorance... But who's Alex Jacob?

Google+Alex Jacob+whips= http://www.cobrawhips.com/index.php

BTW Great whips.

ST

ST

Ohhhhhh

ST

Adam Winrich made that?

I'm surprised he let the seam go so crooked.

Looks like fun though.

ST

I haven't heard of any nylon whipmakers who don't use un-cored para-chord.

It's great to see that you like your whip and it does look great with the double diamond plait in two tone on the handle.
Enjoy it,

ST

ST

I am soooooooo glad I ordered mine when I did.

Strain 10 ft.=$600
Del Carpio 10 ft.=$600
midwestwhips 10 ft.=$605
DM 6 ft.=$655=

ST

Thanks for all the kind words. The 6 footer cracks well although I think it needs more weight at the point, but other than that its a nice fluid whip. Congrats on making the little 3plait looking wristloop - I have yet to attempt that. believe it or not but those are 4 plait wristloops :oops: :D

ST

Well, here they are First off is a 6 ft. 12 plt. indy style in blue(it looks black 'in person' too) using the bolster lengths, and the new braiding technic that I learnt from David Morgan and Alex. http://i491.photobucket.com/albums/rr279/recnepsproht29/IMG_0432-1.jpg And with it, my new DM. http://...

ST

Thanks.

ST

Hi Will, It's really cool to see you on here. Thanks for showing me around your shop on Feb 20. Also had a great time cracking whips with you. Extend my thanks to Megan and Alex for the whip and especially Alex for putting up with me for the day. I love my new whip. I also recently finished a 6Ft us...

ST

I agree with rjallen70 and Canuck Digger and get Mr. Strain to just extend the keeper or something like that. Vary sad though.

ST

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Enjoy the Holiday season everyone and get out do some whip cracking if you can!

$\:D/$ $\:D/$ $\:D/$

ST

Oh, ok

ST

Well I ordered a AB on Dec. 31 of 2007 and I haven't got it yet. I'm usually pretty patient but I'm going to Angola on the 7th of Jan. and I was wondering if there is any hope of getting it before then.

Does any one know how the wait time is these days?
