My works!

Hi guy's
I'm Emanuele from Italy,
I presented my whip collection 2 months ago. Besides being a collector, i'm also aspirant whipmaker. Little over a year I started making leather whip using low quality.
Many of the lessons I need them to Giovanni Celeste, was always helpful and patient and I learned a lot from him.
Up to now I have little practice because, unfortunately, time is short.
However I would attach some pictures of my recent work and significant.
The whips are made from calf skin, let the kangaroo when I gained more practical as it is very expensive and I would not waste it.
If anyone has any advice for me I gladly accept.
I hope you like.

I've never used calfskin,but I guess it's not easy leather to work with....... and it seems you've done a good work with it!
You're ready to try kangaroo hide, don't worry about it. give it a try. Anyway sooner or later you'll have to deal with roo hides.
You won't regret it believe me!

I have a Raider and a Young Indy made by Lelec and they are GREAT!

Thanks to everyone for the compliments. I'll come with kangaroo whip.
However I then decided to enjoy the world of nylon whips.
Will be doing a couple of whips in a kangaroo and then put a bit of time by the skin, to devote myself to nylon whip.

How can you get to quote someone in Italian, when that person wrote originally in English, lelec2...? Did you pass it through a translator... ?

I CAN'T SEE THE PICS....!!!

Yes, this is possible with automatic online translator, but translates very literally, and not always the truth meaning of the sentence, but in many circumstances it is useful

Thank you Kentucky Blues for appreciation.
I ordered from Ubraidit many parachord few months ago, but unfortunately I could not find the time to do them.
I only made two small creatures, a keychain and a mini bullwhip test. I show you the photos.
I hope you enjoy it.

sylviarosat · Post by **sylviarosat** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 2:14 am

Very nice!how long are they?did you try to do the volley with them?do you sell them?It's very practical you can take them everywhere with you and they're very discret!

lelec2 · Post by **lelec2** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 7:55 pm

[quote = " sylviarosat "] Molto bella ! quanto tempo sono ? non si tenta di fare il volley con loro ? si fa a vendere ? E 'molto pratico potete portare ovunque con te e sono molto discreta ! [/ quote ]

I never tried to make cracking it, now unfortunately most do not possess

I'll make another soon, but I do not know when, it takes 3-4 hours for a mini bullwhip.
Good point, it is a good subject for those who want to have a whip with him

lelec2 · Post by **lelec2** » Fri Oct 01, 2010 5:35 am

Here are some key rings with mini whip on calf and kangaroo leather.
The last two photos is a novel experiment, wristband micro whip, I hope you enjoy it.

Noah · Post by **Noah** » Fri Oct 01, 2010 9:03 pm

That's really cool lelec!

sylviarosat · Post by **sylviarosat** » Sat Oct 02, 2010 1:41 am

i kind of like these wristband!there pretty cool!you can do them in nylon too...and so no problem if they come wet...
but that's very nice and i think even in switzerland where whips and whipcracking is not common thing i think they would sell them good,on market for example!

The microwhip keychains are awesome! Nice work!

kwad · Post by **kwad** » Sun Oct 03, 2010 1:26 am

Very cool!
The one with the clasp on it looks great.

The TH knot on the Crystal Skull keychain whip amazes me. How did you get it so neat?
I had cussing fits while trying to make a TH knot twice (if not 3 times) that size when I made my wifes "purse whip". And it still didn't come out as nicely as yours!!

I love this! When I was learning to plait (I'm still trying to learn, though), I started by making nylon wristbands for myself using brown, black and a brownish-yellow shoelaces.

lelec2 · Post by **lelec2** » Sat Oct 16, 2010 5:17 am

Thank you all for your appreciation!

Kwade: These micro whips sometimes require several hours, patience and precision.
I only using kangaroo leather, thin. As for the nodes, it is not simple, although not always clear to me

However for what I know, the leather for bags is not very suitable for making these types of knots and plaits, because they are soft and make the plot so wrinkled and soft.

Fenris: As a child I too was a nylon key ring and leather bracelets. I must say that for me it was useful, I aquisito much, and thanks to that now I have quickly learned to weave.

Many thanks Tomek9210!
They are all made to order, but according to the request, I always almost recommend a color or pattern

My friend Giovanni Celeste has done leash dog whip, and I think he can do for you in a short time.
I do whips resume in April, because now I'm busy.

I love them all, but the first one is just amazing! KOTCS is nice, the taper and whole appearance is great, knots and wide strands look very well.
Good job
