Todd's only has the jackets listed as small, medium, large. What are the comparison sizes in say like a 44 or 46 long?

Blackthorne Rose

The pants I had were to light so I took the Rit Dark Brown and Scarlet mixed about 1/3 scarlet to whatever you use in the Brown. Then with rubber gloves as you put the prewetted pants in the dye keep moving them around. Remember since they're wet they'll look much darker than when they dry. Should ...

I attended a Halloween party this weekend and actually one the costume contest. I appeared in full gear with my new Keppler in place and kept getting questions about where I got everything. The prize was just some tickets to the theater but it felt pretty cool to win something for something I love t...

One coat of the creame(jell), let it sit overnight. Wipe off residue the next day. Wait another 4-5 months and then another application if you want it softer. Junior and I have both done this and it has really softened up our FS Expos. Kevin at Pecards' said after these two application that should b...

Here is a quote from Lindiana for dying the Old Navy pants. I am sure the same could be applied to other khaki pants. The pants I had were to light so I took the Rit Dark Brown and Scarlet mixed about 1/3 scarlet to whatever you use in the Brown. Then with rubber gloves as you put the prewetted pant...

Moreover. Where do you get the Pearl Gray RIT dye? I have looked everywhere and they just don't sell it in my area.

Blackthorne Rose

I am currently working on my first nylon bullwhip. How did you get the shot into the central hollowed core. I have #9 shot and it just gets bound up in the core and I can't get it down to the bottom.

Blackthorne Rose

There is also a movie with the rock and christopher walken coming out where there are two whips being used in a scene.

Blackthorne Rose

The jell idea was actually from Eric at Pecards. He recommended putting on a coat of the jell waiting several months, putting on another coat around december an then not treating it until the fall with the regualr dressing.

Blackthorne Rose

I have already applied one coat of Pecards jell to my jacket which it soaked up overnight. The jacket still has a bit of shine to it. Is it okay to use rubbing alcohol on it at this point to cut down on the shine or just let the shine go away naturally?

Blackthorne Rose

You can see a picture of what the shirt actually looks like on Cooler's site www.theindyexperience.com. Under Articles and Raiders on the Big Screen there are pics from the Louisville Summit. I am wearing an LLBean shirt (I'm the one with the goatee). That will give you an idea of the color.

Blackthorne Rose

I can host them for you if need be.

Blackthorne Rose

The only reason I ask is that I am having an extremely hard time darkening my Decker boots. I have applied to coats of the brown weatherproofing and it barely darkened the boots. What should I do. Will Meltonian darken them any?

Blackthorne Rose

I got home today to find a box from Pecards. I orderd the classic leather dressing, the cream (jell) and the brown water proofing which I have already used twice on my Decker boots and seems to be darkening them slightly. Also included, which I think Eric through in for free was a small can of boot ...

Blackthorne Rose

Both. But mostly where the fall connects to the thong.

Blackthorne Rose

I now get a a group check error when I try to view.

Blackthorne Rose

Your pictures are not showing up.

Blackthorne Rose

Does anyone have a pic of there Tim Bass nylon whip. I am wanting to get a good shot of the handle and where the fall connects, and even a shot of the entire whip if possible. His site is down and have yet to ever see a picture of one of his whips.

Blackthorne Rose

Being the sloppy beast that I am, I managed to get a drop of grease from a burger on my brand new Jcrew's Decker boots? Does anyone know how to get off grease stains from leather. It is a very noticeable dark stain on my pumpkin color leather and really stands out.

Blackthorne Rose

I just received mine and they fit fine. I ordered the 10M and they aren't too big at all.

Blackthorne Rose

According to my UPS link from JCREW, my boots are being delivered this afternoon.

Blackthorne Rose

I know the core of the whip is not the actual length. As each successive belly is added does the thong continually lengthen until the final desire length is reached. For example for a 10 foot whip: 5 foot core plus 5 foot nail=5'8", 6plait belly to length of core, at this point on which belly a...

Blackthorne Rose

I have a gun and rifle store nearby. Does the stuff come in bags? Does the #12 refer to 12 guage / pellet size.

Blackthorne Rose

Sounds like a plan. I just acquired 1200 ft of tan paracord. I am working on an 8ft bullwhip. so I will have about a 5 foot core from nail head to end. I am using bernie's method of shotbag, while not forgetting to create a good strong transition from the nail to the strand so I won't limp noodle out.

Blackthorne Rose

Aren't BB's what Rhett Kelley says he uses on his site. If I do use #12 shot how do I get it into the nylon core?

Blackthorne Rose

What would be a better core for a nylon whip as far as the shot bag is concerned. Can I use BB's or would lead shot be better.? If lead shot, then where can I purchase it and is there a particular size that is better for whips?

Blackthorne Rose

Here is some info from Tim Bass on attaching the core to a steel handle and the turk's head knot. When I use a steel handle I grind the tip down a bit so that I can stick the tip into the nylon and glue it in place. For the turks heads I have stainless steel ball bearings welded onto the end and put...

Blackthorne Rose

Great! thanks for the info.

Blackthorne Rose

Can anyone answer my waxing question?

Blackthorne Rose

Another question about waxing a nylon whip. Is it better to dip the entire whip into melted paraffin in a pot or can one melt part of a bar and rub it over the whip?

Blackthorne Rose

So what is the consensus on what is used for bolsters on a nylon whip. Nylon webbing?

Blackthorne Rose

much appreciated. I have just order how to make a whip by edwards and I think this will be a good starting point.

Blackthorne Rose

Sure. I will post pics today. Are bolsters used in the process and if so, what are they made out of?

Blackthorne Rose

On the bullwhip faq it says that Billy Anderson makes his nylon whips with a steel cable belly.

Blackthorne Rose

Now that I get a good look at the fall, it looks like it is parachute cord that has had the strands taken out and flattened. Is this what needs to be done with the last set of plaiting for the whip or all the way through the body? Is two bellies all that are needed for a nylon whip, 12 plait and the...

Blackthorne Rose

I recently acquired a indy style bullwhip made by Rhett Kelley and the laces look like they are flat. There was an extra fall include and it is definitely a flat nylon lace. I have read elsewhere on this forum that parachute cord is used and from what I have seen with parachute cord is that it has s...

I talked to Lee today and he said his washing machine flooded the area and destroyed his computer. So no internet until he gets back from the gun show, and he will hopefully have a new computer by then.

Blackthorne Rose

I went in another day an asked how much it would cost to add a brass button onto my holster and to make a whip holder, she quoted me $25 for the brass button and $35 for the holder. As I tried to stifle a laugh, I exited her shop. I ended getting the same brass button from Tandy's for 99 cents and p...

Blackthorne Rose

This is the finished gun with the holster I just made. I just got my buttons today from Tandy, so I decided to finish the holster as well. It has that major distressed look.

Blackthorne Rose

Does anyone know an alternative for the Swivel Landyard Ring on the handle of the S & W. I am almost finished with my replica and would like to add this ring to it to make it complete.

Blackthorne Rose

Where did you acquire your butt swivel/lanyard ring ?

Blackthorne Rose

I tried to go to his website and it looks like it is down. I wanted to see about ordering a nylon whip from him but have no way of contacting him. Has anyone ordered from him lately or able to contact him?

Blackthorne Rose

Can Pecards be used on a cowhide bullwhip? Will it change the texture or the look of the whip at all?

Blackthorne Rose

Pyroxene,
What type of knot did you use to attach your leather shoe string to whip fall? I have tried several and they all fly off when I get a good crack.

Blackthorne Rose

Tandy Leather carries a product called the Sam Browne Button and Washer for 99 cents each. They come in brass or nickel covered brass. The item is #130901.

Blackthorne Rose

I asked the lady that worked there and she said they didn't have one yet.

Blackthorne Rose

Here is the pic of the 12 ft. I bought from them. Hey Pyroxene, where on the knot can I place the screw to stop the handle from swiveling. And is your screw hidden by the leather?
