Just got a new pair of Parkhurst Niagara boots, they’d made a great Alden Indy alternative if you’re looking to wear them regularly as well as for cosplay. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230907/6164b547bb064f6eb3f6a59f7c40455b.jpg https://www.parkhurstbrand.com/collections/fall-winter-23 Sent f...

So my cheeky Chinese Wolverine ripoffs as recommended by IndianaBravo just arrived and... erm.. they're great? They fit well, they're comfortable straight out of the box (I would even say unusually comfortable: I recently bought some well-reviewed Italian boots and they're not as good as this), and...

IndianaBravo

Thanks Bear, I'm gonna get me another pair just to have it as a replacement while they are still available and priced well!
Cheers

I actually do. It is a 10 foot kip hide Raiders. I ordered one from Graeme and was very impressed, so I ordered another. I was just out with it last week and it's a great whip. Hear that Graeme? 10 foot kip hide natural tan

IndianaBravo

Who knows? We may just get our whips after all, if I do I will eat my hat.

Hi! Just posting a review of the Aliexpress Wolverine boot I posted here recently, highlighting some of the wear and tear of a couple of months. They have been used mostly for hiking and walking dry riverbeds. I have to say that they have held up surprisingly good. Walked in them for miles on end ( ...

Hello there! I found these on good ol Ali Express. They were about 95 dollars and ten-day shipping to Europe, and no import tax to pay, (whew!) Ther are solidly built, the leather gives off a nice smell. It has "Welcome 1000" embossed near the top, but it's barely visible. These are obviou...

Hey Parttime, I have one of these myself. They are indeed epic. You are lucky to have had Joe make you this one. He hasn't been taking orders at least through the website for years. I'm sure you will have fun breaking it in, now that the good weather is back!
Cheers

IndianaBravo

Hey parttime, that is an excellent collection you have there. Great pics too. Joe Strain I would say is the Gold Standard now as far as whips go!

IndianaBravo

Thanks Joe. I am in the process of giving them their bi annual coat of pecards and a good shellacking, along with a new popper. The season is upon us!

IndianaBravo

Thanks bearbeast. :whip: I take it out when the weather is nice and sometimes crack it in the gym. Here is another pic with its little brother, a ten year old Strain 10 footer in natural tan. The color for the other one I believe was saddle tan, and not whiskey as I stated before. In any case it is ...

Hi all I though I would share a recent pic of one of my favorites. It is a Joe Strain 12 footer whiskey color. I posted about it nine years ago when I first purchased it http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=42996" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; It has darkened up ...

Fantastic job, love the shorter handle. Very Morgan-esque!

Welcome aboard!

IndianaBravo

Rest in peace, Peter. Your legacy lives on through your work. Thank you.

IndianaBravo

So sorry to hear of David's passing. He created a legacy that will be remembered and continue to influence in the world of whip making and cinematic history for a long time. My condolences to Will and the rest if his family. QDEP.

The taper on that thing is hideous, too.

I second that bummer

IndianaBravo

Well, a year has passed since this subject was last addressed by Graeme and we are no closer to getting our whips. The wait so far has been three years :shock: Frankly I think I have more possibilities of being cast in the next Indy movie as Abner Ravenwood than I do getting my whip. I am pretty sur...

IndianaBravo

Dusty from Creaseandcorral should be on this list. His whips have gotten nothing put positive reviews here

Cheers

Howdy and welcome Basil

Those Strain whips look great. That first one made by Joe´s son is a beauty. Good to see him carrying on a family tradition and doing it so well!

IndianaBravo

I have a 12 footer just like this from Joe and it is truly the jewel in the crown. Congratulations!

Bravo

IndianaBravo

Good for you fenris, looks like you guys are having a great time. Here in Spain we also go out from time to time to make sure our bullwhips get some quality time, despite the winter weather. Those Philippino whips certainly look different but I bet they pack a wallop. Are they similar to the ones us...

IndianaBravo

Welcome aboard, that whip look great for a first effort. Im sure you will be showing us great things in the near future.

Cheers

IndianaBravo

I still don't have my whip and he still has my money. He still won't respond to emails or PM's. The only thing that has changed is I am now 2 years older than I was. In the same boat myself :x JUST IN. I have been contacted by Graeme thru Facebook. I expect he will probably surface here as well sho...

hear, hear, and fantastic looking whip BTW!

IndianaBravo

ooops my mistake, it is natural tan and not saddle tan. And yes I meticulously wiped it down and let it dry before applying the shellac!

IndianaBravo

Thanks guys! Theres a picture of it here somewhere whe I first got it: http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr5/ ... gen675.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Originally it was saddle tan and has darkened beautifully over these past four years.

Cheer!

IndianaBravo

I had some shellac left over from using it on my recently acquired Toods 12 footer and decided I would give my 2008 Joe Strain a couple of coats. It lost that shellac sheen ages ago, and I remember reading that it was OK to shellac your whip at any time, I think it may have been Bernie from Em Brand...

IndianaBravo

Great job Dusty, Oildale you ( we) are certainly lucky to have such talented people to helps us keep our prized possesions in good working order. Replaiting the whip with new strands seems like the best way to repair without losing length. I had never heard of it.

Cheers

IndianaBravo

Finally took her out for a spin and it cracks like a dream, the stiff transition really puts it out there. Yeeehaa! Thanks Todd!

Great video Daren, picked up alot of tips. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Oildale, that looks great. Yeah its not cool when you are posting and your machine conks out :x The whip looks great and congrats on changing the fall. I had mine out in the sun way too much also, but just to help in the absorption process of the Pecard. Hope fully today Illl be able to take er ...

IndianaBravo

What did you mean by "skimpy coverage on the butt knot"? IndianaBravo, two things, first remaking the each regularly will take a lot of length off, wouldn't you agree? Also, you may want to try getting a super jumbo ( or whatever they're calling it ) perma lok needle. It makes changing ou...

Yes riku, I am aware, but I thought I would make some new hitches, if anything just for practice. Also I find it alot easier than fumbling with pre made hitches...

IndianaBravo

Hey Oildale, congrats on your purchase. According to Todd the internal construction is basically roo as well. Slapping on a new fall may seem a bit daunting but it is easier than it looks. Joe Strain has a video on his site on how to do it as does David Morgan. If you can tie a hitch knot, then this...

IndianaBravo

Well, here goes the after pic. Saturation of Pecard plus a new fall, dyed ringknot and finally two coats of shellac. Overall I am pleased with the result. The whip is a bit on the light side, but the stiff transition gives it a good action and really helps to move the 12 foot length to produce a nic...

IndianaBravo

Bravo, Thanks for confirming this. I just ordered myself a 6 footer in natural tan. I already have one of Todd's 6' made from the usual leather and it is a fine little whip with a great taper and nice transition. (I turned that one into a Young Indy .) Another one made of 'roo for $75? Why not? :wh...
