The following day the DVDs start shipping to the general public. I already have a growing list of names of people wanting a copy as soon as it releases, if you are interested, please send me an email at rhettswhips @ yahoo dot com to get on the pre-order list.

  • Disc 1 covers some Florida history, supplies, and making the belly (46 minutes).
  • Disc 2 covers making the overlay, handle options, and waxing. (59 minutes)
  • I even have a short bloopers reel for some levity.

The price is $85.00 for the 2 DVD set. This included shipping in the U.S.

Are you an overseas buyer needing PAL format? No problem! I can do it. Just let me know you need a PAL copy when you order.

Pre-Order Tutorial DVDs Now!

By RBK

I have seen a great deal of interest in my upcoming nylon whipmaking tutorial DVD. I’ve already had several people ask me to put them on a list to receive the DVDs when I have them ready to release. I am hoping the first copies will be ready over this coming weekend.

If you would like to be added to the list, please email me at Rhettswhips @ Yahoo.com with your contact info and “whipmaking DVD” in the subject line.

While I am still planning to post the first DVD set and the whip on eBay, I will go ahead and open it up to start receiving orders for the DVD.

You don’t have to put any money down, just email me your name, address, and phone # along with how many copies you are interested in buying. After the first DVD set sells on eBay, I will start contacting everyone who wants the tutorial and start shipping out the orders.

If you happen to win the auction, I will gladly take your name off the DVD order list.

The total price with shipping included (to U.S. addresses) will be $85.00. That’s not cheap, but it’s nearly 20 years of cow whip making experience I am sharing. Think of it like this, it is much cheaper than having me come teach you in person and you can play it over and over again!

Cow Whip Tutorial DVD Update #2

By RBK

The filming of my upcoming  6ft cow whip tutorial DVD is nearing completion! In the photo here, you can see the finished black and tan thong and the zebrawood blank I will be using for the handle.

Today we finished shooting the construction of the thong . Tomorrow I will do the introduction segment and a segment on handles.  For the sake of time and disc space, I will not show handle construction in full detail, but I will include some footage from before, during, and after it’s completed. I will be talking about different ways of obtaining handles for those who do not have a lathe.

The only thing so far that I wish I could change is that I could not get the newer, better camera to work with my movie making software. Therefore, I had to use my older camera and a small portion of the footage (when zoomed in) came out a little bit grainy. I didn’t realize this until after the whip was finished, but in spite of that, I think it won’t hinder anyone’s learning. Also, I now believe this project may require 2 DVD discs.

Please note:

In order to find a nice home for the whip I have made for this tutorial, I am going to offer the very first DVD set and the whip from the video on eBay. It will have a signed certificate with it stating that it is the first edition DVD set and that the whip is the one I made in the video. This will be made available before the DVDs are officially for sale. Stay tuned for that announcement!

Have a great weekend!

5ft Bullwhip: Chocolate with Olivewood Handle

By RBK

I have a 5ft woody bull on eBay. I do not anticipate taking any new orders for another month or two, so this is one of the few chances you will have to get a RK whip unless you’re already on my waiting list.

Click on whip photo to see the eBay listing!

Thanks!

Exotic Laminate Handles Now Available!

By RBK

I have partnered with a supplier in Florida for some very nice exotic laminate turning stock. Below is a photo of a handle I turned from one of the pieces I obtained. The woods used in this handle are padauk in the center, then maple, and limoncillo wood on the outer layer. The handle is 14.75″ long and weighs in at just 4.5 ounces. The photo doesn’t do it justice.

If you would like see about getting a custom laminate handle made, send me an email! rhettswhips @ yahoo.com

Indiana Jones KOTCS Nylon Bullwhip

By RBK

I am happy to announce the latest addition to my line of Indiana Jones inspired bullwhips. This whip is made to resemble the bullwhip seen in The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull and is chocolate brown with black turkshead knots. The thong has a 16 plait overlay around 2 plaited bellies.

The transition of this whip has been lengthened to better resemble the KOTCS bullwhip. A nylon whip will never be “screen accurate;” my intent with this whip is not to make a “SA” whip, but to craft a reasonably priced, high quality nylon bullwhip that gives a good general impression of an Indy style bullwhip. As U.K. whipmaker Tony Layzell might say, this is my “interpretation” of the KOTCS bullwhip.

The total handle length is 8″ with the knots spaced 5″ apart. The heel knot is a 7 part, 6 bight turkshead taken twice around. The transition knot is a 6 part, 5 bight taken twice around.

If you would like to own this bullwhip, it is now available on eBay!

Buy a Bracelet, Help Tucker!

By RBK

I know today is April Fool’s Day, but I want to post something that is very true and not a joke at all…

If you work at a large business or facility, you can work at the place for years and never meet everybody. Such has been the case with me. My particular job keeps me somewhat isolated from most of the people where I work. Recently I heard about a guy (Jason) with a child who had some serious health issues. I had seen Jason around the warehouse, but we had never actually met.

I was finally able to meet Jason at work recently and he told me about his son, Tucker. Tucker is 9 and has a very rare condition called Hunter Syndrome. This requires lots of traveling to and from treatment which is very expensive. To help with these costs,  Jason’s wife Casey makes some very pretty bracelets and sells them on Etsy. The proceeds go to help with all the traveling and supplies they need to care for him. Each bracelet is handcrafted and is a unique piece.

Guys, this is a great way for you to buy your special lady a really nice bracelet she will love and help a young family that is experiencing a difficult challenge. I bought one for my wife today.

Their webstore is on Etsy and is called Making People Smile.

Thanks so much!
