This was more devastating than I imagined, what do you think?

I remember as a kid getting a little leather whip at a fair . I went home and was whipping all the other kids with it and my mom taking it away and beating me with it . I’m 56 and she gave it back to me when I turned fifty . I still got it thanks to mom .

I have been making 'tactical whips', or 'stingers', to order, for years, utilizing different diameters of plastic-jacketed stainless steel cable. The power of this simple, inexpensive and LEGAL self-defense weapon cannot be underestimated.

These whips would stop knife crime in inner cities over night, don’t carry a knife, if you’ve got to carry a weapon for defence, this would be a must, that would counter any knife assault 👍👍👍

I inherited a baton from my great-grandfather, consisting of two springs that are welded together, can be extended telescopically and are fixed in a 20 mm cartridge. Great piece and already easily 50 to 60 years old...

I never saw a practical use for these (legal issues aside) until I met an old biker (lets call him Jeff). He had tassels on his bar end maybe 10-12" long. One of the other riders happened to have one too many and not only singled out Jeff but in particular his leather tassels. One thing led to another and it tuned out one of the leather tassels had a 1/4" piece of cable running the last 8" or so and he had a quick release that had it in his hands in seconds. It was quite the formidable weapon.

As a machinist for 30 years i love that DP put the chuck key in the chuck.

Very satisfying to observe highly skilled craftsmen in their trade. Nicely done mate.

OOOoooo, thank you for that tube at the end! I did one whip myself too and welding the tip of the steel rope was so hard. Next time i wil degrease it and use a tube at the end!
Learning all the time 😁

Profound respect to the makers and creators of this world. Dies, you have remarkable talent, and thank you for sharing your creations with us. Cheers and all the best.

[Charlielizard]

Fantastic build. That whip is awesomely wicked. Congratulations on your special day. Podcast was brilliant. Wishing you two a long and happy marriage. You both deserve it. Cheers mate 🍻

[happymonk]

I made one similar to yours, the handle is a piece of hard wood with a hole in one end. I put some clear gorilla glue in the hole then slid one end of cable in the hole and let the glue harden. I learned not to have the cable too long because if comes back and hits your knuckles, it really hurts.

It looks like something a James Bond bad guy's henchman would be brandishing every time he's on camera.

It turned out to be nice looking and functional as well. As a retired toolmaker, I would suggest that you add a pair of safety glasses to your daily projects. A small piece of abrasive grit will feel like a rock when it gets between your eye ball and the lid, and starts to scratch the shit out of things before it comes out. I had a small sliver of steel from a carbide burr get around my glasses. During the night it stuck into the eyeball and was raking the upper lid. At 2:30 I was in the emergency room with a bright light in my eye while the good doctor stained it and pulled it out. Two days later I was back to my normal condition. To all who read this, please be careful. You don’t want to throw shit into that fan.

That thing is mean. I would not want to be on the business end of that. These shows are getting better and better. The videography has come a long way. You should be proud. Congratulations again!

Find a truck parts store. Ask for an "Air tank hold down cable." Plastic covered 3/16" steel cable about 20" long. A steel button about 1 x 1/4" swaged at one end. Then a 5" long 3/8" stud swaged at the other end. Its ready made. I once heard its flexible enough to slip through your belt loops. Swing it it at a wooden board then imagine a mans hand!

[wildforesthome]

Mate the comedy value of your videos is brilliant, skilled production too. I would watch the spring back on that bad boy, side swipe looks like the best use. Easily a bone breaker that one. Hope the wedding went smoothly, congratulations. Thanks for the video

A sword smithy I'm well acquainted with made something a lot like that as a very limited run. It was the same cable, but sword-length and hidden in a walking stick like a sword cane, as hiding a length of steel cable is a lot more legal than hiding a sword. Just the thought of getting hit with something like that makes me cringe.

[ewetoobblowzdogg]

I had something like that hidden in a cane. Instead of a cable, it was made from a heavy duty stainless steel spring with a large piece of steel at the end. It would most likely kill whatever you struck with it

[ganjaraucher]

We all know what the handle looked like in the middle of the build 👀💀
