That's such a gorgeous whip right there!

if you wouldn't mind, could you share the dimensions of the heel knot? don't mean to derail the thread to much, just curious

EvilDean

6years of beating the @#$% out of this amazing thing :) Sorry for the face and the size of the pics, Ill correct that when Im not on my phone [URL=http://s20.photobucket.com/user/imidian/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_1.jpg.html][img]http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b227/imidian/Mobile%20Uploads/imag...

:lol: If you still have the link to the auction, could you post them here so we can see those photos while you wait for your hat to arrive? Since it's a finished auction and you were the buyer, those links ARE allowed per the rules of the site. Regards! Michaelson Your new avatar rocks Michaelson! ...

EvilDean

I voted hybrid, because i think you should get what you want, and it sounds like thats what you want

oh, and dont forget to post pics when you've recieved it later on

EvilDean

on a bullwhip you measure whatever you use as a handle, spike or whatever

EvilDean

nice

can we get some close-up shots of how you connected the thong to the drumstick?

My thoughts exactly!

EvilDean

how much does he charge for one of those now?

im too lazy to check the price ;P

EvilDean

it might be the picture, but look at ford's bash... it looks kinda like it has some dents(like the ROTLA hat)
SPF's bash is smooth and no dents.

as i said, might be the picture.. (might be another felt?)

EvilDean

I dont know. The YIJ hat brim has some serious curl on his left and its still wider than HF's. The crowns are amazingly similar, though. maybe on that pic... but not in the show. the YIJ brim is always snapped down in the back where the LC curls are. but that bash is VERY similar. cool find :TOH:

EvilDean

I've seen photographic examples, and even John's bashing video that illustrates the concept of the 'Turn', however I think it would be a good idea - especially for the interest of new fans and buyers alike - to have a full demonstration video on the Turn. It doesn't need to be terribly long - just ...

EvilDean

here's one.. 3ft though.

if you have nylon whips, you dont have to worry about them being ruined by bad weather. and also, they dont really "break in" as much as you might think. have you looked at adam winrich's youtube tutorials? here's the link anyway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Od7JBEIQj7M hope that helps.

EvilDean

show a pic of what you have done then it'll be easier for us to help!

EvilDean

300ft should do fine if you cut your strands right.
but i would buy 400ft if its your first whip.

EvilDean

all i can say is SWEET!

i have no idea about the signal whip cracker-change, it looks hard though

but beautiful whip none the less!

oh, btw:
send the pic's and post to Will!

EvilDean

nah, that whip is *beep*... give it to me

but in all seriousness... : Giggity... tell us more about it!!!! its beautiful!

(but i stand firm... give it to me!

Man, you ever been in a barfight? The guy's gonna try to kill you. You do what you gotta do. i live in sweden, so i have no idea.. but in that case, aim for the eyes haha but seriously, i've never seen the meaning of fighting(not talkin about war here people). but if a guy tries to fight you even a...

I can't believe what I'm about to say, but if I ever HAD to fight with someone, and I had the advantage of a whip... I'D AIM AT THE EYES!!!! :twisted: Oh, G-d, what am I thinking!!! :[ Aldo. is it a drunken barfight or a lifethreatening situation? a barfight, no whip to the eyes, and archenemy in a...

Someone once said that the best self defense with a whip is to do your best combo and then give the whip to your assailant and watch them beat themselves silly. :whip: :cry: Travis yeah, it's on http://bullwhip.org/faq/combat.html Perhaps the most amusing method for self-defense using a whip goes a...

EvilDean

Anthony Delongo shows hoe one would use the whip for self defense it's pretty cool Anthony DeLongis shows us how to fight with a whip in a movie, not irl. but yeah, it looks awesome ;) let me ask another question, if you got in a fight and had the whip ready, would you hit yourself or your "en...

EvilDean

This was the first whip I used the scrap of fabric with. I considered using leather but I couldn't get my mind around the leather/nylon clash. :? I believe (if I'm wrong, someone please let me know) that the Turk's head knot on most leather whips doesn't cover over the whole thing. It seems that th...

EvilDean

To make a more can shaped knot you pretty much just tack lead or leather in place. for a round knot you have to build up the round shape on top of the leather or lead that's the "main foundation". Or you have to make the leather or lead taper smoothly to a round shape. I don't use that me...

EvilDean

is the whip 6ft? Making a rounder knot is a bit more work. For the money Gus's whips are the most SA you'll get. If you want a rounder knot get ready to spend a few more bucks. Louie http://bullwhips.org isnt it just the foundation that matters for a rounder knot? cant really see how that would be t...

EvilDean

I love it when you plaiting and realize you missed a strand about six inches ago.. ;) Crack On! :whip: Allen grr, on my first whip, i just said; "*beep* it! i just wanna finish =/" since then my only prob has been the first 3 or 4 strand of braiding(i have no idea what pairing is... need ...

EvilDean

I'm sorry, but i really dont like that white filler at the TH knot.. try to get hold of something else, like brown leather with gold writing(like the liners in fedoras) that would be sweet! :D or my idea, have a coin there, would be sweet to. or just skip the whole filling thingy and let the turkshe...

Fine whip! What did you use to hide nail's head? I mean what is between wrist loop. Leather, plaited strap? I can't see it correctly. looks like there's something white there.. am i right? anyways, i followed this thread all the way(sounds like it took years heh) and i wish it was going to me, Inex...

EvilDean

how the .. do you get the front brim like that?
do you use a hat that is too small and push it down or what?

EDIT:
i'll bump this thread cause im desperate and i dont really want to start a new thread... and yes, ive been reading most of the SoC hats thread ><

EvilDean

nice bash's everyone

tomorrow ill post some pics of my 2month old(kicked, beaten and almost (pretty much)trashed) fed iv dlx!
i went on a drunken adventure last night, so i got some pics which are nice

(PS. obviously ill edit my first post, 6pics per topic, i know ;D)

Don't worry, that part is always true! $\:D/$

EvilDean

i measured on one of my whips, and when stretched it seems to be 4mm(measured a scrap piece first time)

but yeah, it looks wider on the whip than it looks by just having the measurement.

now start braiding

EvilDean

nylon whip shell?

if you mean the flattened decorded paracord we braid the whip with it's around 4.5mm(3/16"), and that has been answered before, although im not sure where or when ;P

hope that answered your question

EvilDean

Another source would be google and youtube.

EvilDean

I like the color alot, and yes, you should prolly have used 2more strands

How many strands did you use, and what's inside?

EvilDean

What is the diameter of the thong? I wanna know this to.. i did a quick search whitout any sucess, althoygh i think ive read it here somewhere before. See the July 26th response from Dan: http://www.indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=32697 Jim Thx alot... I think the post itself was from July...

I own a krist king 8ft nylon aswell, and it cracks without problem, even in heavy winds!

btw.. is the whip yellow with leather TH+ring knots?

EvilDean

HAH! try and replicate the scene as it was in the script! ;D oh, and my guess in the other thread about it being a cattleman's/gypsy crack was based on this shot: "The next shot is a closeup of the handle and transition as it uncoils behind him, drooping down." so you might have been quite...

EvilDean

I have always wondered what crack was used in the beggining of Raiders to disarm Barranca. Even slow motion DVD is difficult to judge. I have always interpreted it as a "reversed overarm flick". :-k You lay the whip uncoiled in front of you, drag it by leveraging with your elbow fixed, le...
