Making a Leather Whip From Start to Finish: The Tachi Bull Whip

[@Sam-gf1eb]

Yeah, I'll definitely need to be shown in person how to make a whip.

I’m learning a lot watching, I feel like I’m ready to take on kangaroo! I’ve got 3 hides waiting for me

Thanks for your support my friend, good luck on your upcoming projects!

This is an amazing video on the whip making process, and I am a big fan of your detailed descriptions of the choices you make. I have tried making leather whips before, but this makes me want to dive into Kangaroo work.

Thanks so much! I hope you do play more with making leather whips, I think it's extra challenging of course, but very rewarding

21:30 Similar thoughts recently from the nylon perspective. I can braid the overlay tight enough to get my optimal tension, and I think saving the tight braiding for the overlay gives me more control over where the tension lets up. I don’t like the idea of accumulating stiffness over multiple layers.

For sure, I used to think about it very differently, but sometimes the results defy reason and I think we have to temper our intuition with practice and field experience. I remember when I first started down the road of omitting binding from my transitions, and the first thing I found was that the arc of the thong looked great but I consistently had a kink right off the handle. So then I started experimenting with fewer bellies, no bellies, and graduated tension, and over time I got to a point where I can get that strong transition with fewer layers and no additional materials. We have to be willing to try stuff that doesn't make intuitive sense, I guess is my conclusion

I bought one of your whips recently, so it's interesting to see behind the scene videos like this showing how they're made

[@swordguybuilds]

Thanks very much for your support!

[@iriswhips]

Awesome video Tory! I’ve really enjoyed watching your whip making journey on this channel

[@swordguybuilds]

Thanks so much Alyssum! Crazy seeing how many times and how drastically my methods have changed over time.

Thanks for the great instructional video! Beautiful work Terrance. I reside in LA/California. Where is the best place I can get my Kangaroo hides from? Thank you!
