That awsome, looks like you took Indy's whip and shrunk it. Very nice in deed.

Just out of curiosity how much would one of these sell for.

Atually it does have a nice little crack to it, for as small as it is it handles well. Thanks for the comment

Thanks Indiana Croft, I havn't figured out the cost on something like this, it was more or less a trial run, this Idea came out of no where, I was sitting on the couch trying to figure out what I can make next and I always wanted to try a small version of an Indy whip and I came up with this, It didn't turn out to bad, Its made pretty much like a full size version only much smaller pieces of material.

Nice job, Nammann! Looks great. Is that roo hide?
Gus Caicedo sells cowhide hatband whips and beltwhips on his website: http://www.purewhips.com/whips.htm. I can't remember exactly what he charges for them, though.

David Morgan used to offer them a long time ago. Not sure it they're still in his catalog. I haven't seen one for a long time.

That is a VERY nice job, and one I'd wear on one of MY fedora's. :D

Hey, nammann, I'm just down the road from you, so just mail it on down here. Or, I'll wait by the 111 exit on I-24 and you can just toss it out as you drive past the Manchester exit next time you're on your way to Chattanooga. :lol: :wink:

Regard! Michaelson

Yo Nammann,
That looks great ... as did the last one you posted.

I really NEED that.
I could do a Goldilocks routine.

25 ft whip ....."This whip is just too big".
Your whip ... "This whip is too tiny".
"... but this whip is just right."


OR
Start with the 25ft whip and cut a target once.
Then cut it with a 12ft
then a 6ft
then a 4ft
then 3ft
then ...... the pee-wee whip
yep. I can see it.

See ya
Chris

It looks like the roo hide really works much better for the smaller applications. :) :tup:
