Hello everyone. I have a customer that is looking for a rawhide quirt. His was broken when a longhorn steer sat on it. he really would like to get another like it, I only work in kangaroo and latigo so i'm not much help. if anyone here is willing to help him out I'm sure he would appreciate it. let me know here or by email. hope someone out there can help Skip

Thank you. The best advice I could give is to just start braiding. I started with cow hide and latigo.

Thank you... it is Kangaroo leather , but I also do latigo whips each has it's own personality.

Hello All I spend a lot of time lurking and I'ts been a wile since I posted anything here so I thought I would share this. This Wood Handled Bullwhip was one of the whips I made for the documentary series History In The Making. It’s a 6ft 16plait bullwhip in brandy and featuring a 10 inch rosewood handle. This piece was the whip that was shown being braided during the shoot. The Hero Whip was the whip that was shown completed at the end of the segment. Thanx Skip

So Nice! Way Cool!

Your one of the best Man...

I love the whole SteamPunk Thing.... Great work...

Astonishing !!!! Now I have to go down to my shop and toss all my work in the bin..

Hey Jim The sheet that came with mine really didn't have much in the way of info.. (not there is much to it.) Just keep the blade on the center of the roller use the two screws in the back for adjustments. The thickness adjustment is on the bottom. I could try to scan the one I have for you. -Skip

I took the thing apart and checked the roller, The roller is good. The two adjustment screws in the back are set properly.. (That is to say when I set the right side to center then the left side to center the right side screw is no longer touching. ) I stumped:dunno:. I guess I'll just have to use one side or the other. -Skip

Thanx dirtclod…I just checked the blade and it’s ok.. it looks like it’s offset about a 16/th on the right side. ( so if the blade in set on center of the roller on the left side the right is behind the roller about a 16th.) @iwannabeacowboy . No washers just the bolts it came whip… Is it possible that I may have bent one of the roller arm pins? When I take the blade off it looks ok, is there a way to check to see if the arms are lined up? My first thought was the spring steel that holds the arms in place was bent from the constant pressure of pushing the roller back on the right side.. Is that even possible? Thanx guys I appreciate the help..

Hey All I've got an Osborne 86 splitter That I've been using for years. The last year or so the blade is becoming offset. Now I have to split on one side or the other of the blade, if the left side is in the center of the roller, the right side is behind the roller a bit. (I'm not sure if I'm explaining this properly) I've tried taking it apart and doing what adjustments I can, but I can't seem to get the entire blade centered on the roller anymore. Has anyone else had this problem or have some advice on how to get it fixed? thanx -skip

That was Adam Winrich… 7 or 8 time world record holder.. Fantastic whip cracker and excellent harmonica player… search Youtube for more vids.. great stuff.

hello Josh I like the veg tan or Indian tan latigo for my cowhide whips.. Veg tan latigo has some waxes and oils added so as to make it water resistant. Indian Tan is a beast all its own. Remarkably strong as cow hide goes. I’ve always found the chrome tan stuff to be less than adequate. skip
