From David Stokes of CuttingEdge Forum.... I was very lucky enough to meet Robby through Indygear.com/COW a while back before he got FAMOUS! Robby started out with a very PURE purpose in heart, and that was to TEACH and educate people around the fun of whip cracking. Robby was kind enough to send m...

I did wonder when I first saw all the hand drawn diagrams and measurements who would be the first to do a copy as exact as possible :) That one really does look as exact as is possible, a couple of years of use and sunbathing and it'll be really hard to tell the difference I think....great job and y...

Even before I saw the other posts I thought that they look like a pair of Simon Martin whips that I saw on his website, the ones I saw were made of nylon, (I thought) I didn't think that he made nylon whips were these it correct me if I'm wrong I can't seem to find them on his sight right now.

Makes perfect sense, you just educated me thanks, for that

Gio, Unfortunately I can't say; at least not with out seeing better still photo of the whip they are using. I did check over the video and Im having a difficult time telling if there is something physically attached to the end of the whip, or if its just an illusion caused by the lighting. In one f...

This is indeed excellent news.....I can't imagine not visiting this (COW) forum ever again but not being a diehard Indy fan a forum that relates to Whips in general rather than just Indy style whips is right up my street...I'm really looking forward to it....it was a great shame when it failed the l...

What is a test whip?

I don't normally buy whips by other whipmakers but in the case of Skip he is a real specialist in Latigo and a true craftsman so I made an exception....If you want quality then this is the way to go

A 6ft is a great length IMO, and actually a little on the longer side for the stockwhips most people choose to use for competitions and the like Lauren Wickline http://www.midwestwhips.com I agree 6 foot is a nice length, as to it being a little on the long side that must be yet another of those UK...

What do you think? Robby I think I'm going to look forward to seeing the finished whip. Looks good so far. Here is a non-Indy whip. It is an 8ft roo natural and whiskey with a 10" handle. http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/1720/img2666xl9.jpg Jim Long over due time you built yourself a website...

A few nylon ones.....

Horses for courses I think, but I reach for my 6 foot snake long before I reach for a Bullwhip...if you have a snake whip and think it's a wall hanger only then I'd suggest you have one thats not made very well....just my 2p's worth of course..

Thanks Tony for this advice. If you cut the lace from the rectangle of good kip leather remaining (after cutting 18" above the stretchy part), this would mean that soon you will be cutting around fairly tight corners once you have gone round the hide a few times. Is it difficult to cut the str...

Excellent info, thanks Franco. What would 4-5 oz equate to roughly in mm thickness of the leather? I can get 1.2-1.5 mm thick kip here in Australia that comes from Spain. I haven't made a whip with it yet but it seems great leather - very clean and free of blemishes. Sounds like you have the right ...

Hello IJ, I think you throw the whip not straight behind you, but in a little angle. That means, when you pull the whip forward, it just has to hit your back. Try to throw it a little bit away from you. A bit more to the right side. When you throw it now, you just have the feeling that you brought ...

IndyWhips

I loved the targeting clip, the deliberate misses made me laugh and as Erik above mentioned the tempo of the DVD along with the well thought out good advice will no doubt make this volume as big a success as Vol I

Good Job!
