This is the level of obsessive craftsmanship appreciation I like to see. What a great collection!

I wish I could afford one. They're just so dang expensive... Great video, Adam.

Adam! Thank you for showing this collection! The information and estimated measurements of certain parts of the various whips helps beyond immagination for those of us who strive to create the best repros possible.

Thanks Adam! What a collection! My mind is blown that some people will spend $$$ on a Morgan and not use it- crazy to me, but to each their own.

Great history lesson on David Morgan. Thanks.

I love the knowledge you have with David Morgan’s whips. I too am a crack addict. I’ve been getting a lot of Blake’s whips from Trinity!!!

This is really cool, thanks! It's not often that someone who both knows a whole lot of David Morgan whips and owns more than a few shares anything like this.

clicks on video sees first shot WOAH That's a lot of whips!

NICE collection! Over the years, I've owned three DM Indy bullwhips, one blacksnake, and a dog quirt. My first Indy was the 12-foot model (circa 1997) with glass smooth overlay plaiting. Handled like a dream, but very tiring after throwing it around for half an hour; it was a chore to keep it off the ground! I decided to remedy that by getting a 6-foot bullwhip, which was nice and snappy, but the overlay was really thick and bumpy because the edges of the strands weren't pared down to lay flat. When I ordered my third and final Indy whip, I requested the plaiting to be glass smooth, and asked for a shorter handle grip, in contrast to David's standard length handles. Fortunately David was in a capricious mood in the summer of 2001, and he granted special request orders to several customers on the IndyGear forum who asked for screen-accurate longer whip handles. I personally thought the shorter handle looked really cool, and I was pleased that David made my whip exactly as I wanted. The tag reads: #453 Special. :-)

Thanks brotha, this is fantastic cracking knowledge!

Awesome, informative and entertaining. Have you ever done a video on the pros and cons of different material types (cow leather vs kangaroo hide vs nylon etc) as far as durability, handling crack volume and so on?

Love the last one

Sweet collection, Adam.

I always wanted a David Morgan whip, but I own and use whips from really good new school whip makers like Blake bruning of trinity whip co and Paul Nolan of Midwest whips

Glad to see that 90s 12fter I returned. ;) I think you and Bernardo probably have the biggest collections of older DM whips?

I live your videos bro

Very good video! I purchased a Morgan whip from you around '07-'08. At the time, you said the whip was around 10 or 15 years old already. Still have it. Still use it. Still. love it. Quick question: your whips are all very shiny. I use Pecard's leather dressing on mine, and the finish goes almost chalky (not in texture, just in color) after a while. How do recommend treating the whips to get that nice waxy luster?

Definitely a crack addict I am! Love these!!!!! I have one from Blake burning from im sure you know trinity whip co love it so much!!!! Now I just have a bunch of nylons but nylons are no joke there amazing and strong and great!!!!

Can I just clarify one thing that is actually not apparent to many people ! I watched a Tv show back in the 1980s about the making of Raiders of the Lost Ark and it explained that David Morgan was bought in to make functional copy, stunt Bullwhips for the original movie . Bullwhips that had steel Inner cores for some of the scenes where Indy swing across things. There is no proof that the original hero probs pre production movie were made by Morgan? One story suggest that the Bullwhip stunt Instructor who trained Ford on the film set had the 3 whips of different lengths in his own collection and he lent them out to the movie . Interesting that Morgan never made the original longer handle Bullwhip for retail that features the movie.

There’s a whole website, IndyGear.com, which contains research every prop used in the Indiana Jones movies. There is no doubt that David Morgan made all the whips for the first three films, including a special braided covering for a steel cable that would make the cable look like a whip and be safe for swinging. Back in the late 70s and early 80s there weren’t many whip makers, and only David Morgan was making the style of whip you see in the film. It was a combination of Australian and American designs that David himself created.

Man that black one look so elegant

CastleVania video in the near future? Maybe October?

Very informative

I still have the catalog even though it is only TV Guide Size

Nice collection! I have a question- which whip design is the most durable? Bullwhip, snakewhip, stockwhip or something else? Thanks!

@Adam-Winrich

astronotusx durability has more to do with how well the whip is built and what it is made from than what style of whip it is.

Hey Adam quick question. How long should a beginners whip should be?

I'm very interested in that pocket snake....I wanted a blacksnake but I see they no longer produce them. What is with the 'wire wrap' on the handle area? Would you reccomend this whip? I have several snake whips but none by the DM company and there is little to no info out there about their pocket snakes....thank you

What kind of stuff make very shiny the leather on the whip? Thank you!

VERY GOOD IN GOINGTO BUY

I wish i have one 😔

Did David ever make stockwhips?

@k2sworld

3 ай бұрын

I can answer that. No. The stock whips David had for sale in his catalog were all made by Terry Jacka in Australia. I owned one I bought from David in the 1980's and held onto it for the longest time, but eventually sold it. I also owned a two-tone 16 plait bullwhip made by Jacka that David Morgan sold on his website for a short time. It was beautiful, but, over time, the differentiation between the two tones became indistinguishable. I sold that one off too, as it was more of a piece of art.

“Because I am a crack addict” yeah looking up whips was a good choice today

Yes they over a 1000 dollars and David don't make them anymore his grandson now makes them because David Morgan died so sad
