Sensation Play 101.07 Fixed Blades11 viewsSafety in knife play is paramount. Always negotiate carefully, and be aware of any use of blood thinners by your play partner. Aspirin, Pradaxa, Eloquis, warfarin all thin the blood. Even though there has been no intention of blood play or cutting, accidents can happen when using a sharp edge in a dimly lit dungeon. Consider not doing knife play with someone who is on a blood thinner. Fixed blade knives are wonderful for moving energy between the chakras. Especially when combined with impact play. Impact play with floggers and cats transfer energy into the chakras and knife play can move that energy around and get it flowing between the chakras.Oct 24, 2023

Caning 101.34 Conditioning Rattan Canes29 viewsEvery so often, at least 2 times a year (depending upon the climate and how much humidity is in your region) rattan canes should be conditioned with raw pure linseed oil. Do not use boiled linseed oil. Sometimes hard to find in hardware stores, Google and the internet are your best friend. This video shows how to condition natural rattan canes. Canes that have been sealed with varnish cannot be conditioned, unless the tip is cut removing the varnish on the tip of the cane, then this process would also work for varnished sealed canes. Linseed oil is messy and this process should be done outdoors on a polished concrete floor or on the grass.Oct 11, 2023

WITD 501.28 Experiment Part II 3 ft Signal to 3 ft Snake Whip30 viewsWatch to see Dex's experiment and analysis. The conclusion is while this experiment failed, a quality signal whip with a belly can be successfully converted to a snake whip provided a very slimline fall is used. This will be a $$ saver for two handed whip throwers and adequate for dungeon play. However, realize the performance will not be as good as a well made snake utilizing a fall hitch to attach the fall.Oct 11, 2023

WITD 501.27 Experiment Part I 4 ft Signals into 4 ft Snake Whips using an English Eye24 viewsThis experiment uses the English eye a 4' signal whip was finished with to add a fall and converts it to a 4' snake whip. Watch and see how Dex evaluates this modification. It is a possible money saver for whip throwers taking the matched set of whip/two handed whip journey in that it makes a matched set of signal whips also possibly become a matched set of snake whips.Oct 11, 2023

WITD 101.61a How to Break in a Whip5 viewsDiscussion and show and tell of how to break in a new kangaroo whip. Do not manually manipulate, bend or twist it. Simply throw it, get plenty of mileage on it using your own style of throwing until it becomes an extension of your arm. I condition every time before I throw a new whip until it is broken in, then only a couple of times each year. Condition the fall every time or almost every time you throw the whip.Oct 11, 2023

WITD 301.44 Tuning a Bullwhip23 viewsRecently Blake Gorey at Smokey Mountain Whips made me a beautiful well made naturally loaded 2 belly 4' bullwhip. Beautiful work, but I noticed after throwing in rhythm to one song it was tiring my wrist out and almost cramping my forearm. A light weight 2 belly whip should not do that. I checked the balance point and it was 2" past the pineapple knot up the thong. It should be at or very close to the pineapple knot. Peter Jack, my whipmaker, said this was what was tiring my arm out so quickly. I was having to work harder to achieve the rollout I wanted and that he could tune the whip. So off to NZ this whip went. Jack took apart the turk's head, burnished the end of the handle, added a 2 oz lead counterweight, and re-tied the Turk's head. This counterweight shifted the balance point of the whip back to exactly the pineapple knot. The whip is now tuned and I can throw it in the dungeon for many years.Sep 24, 2023

WITD 201.39 Long Quirt Construction41 viewsA long quirt sometimes called a dog quirt will be 3' to 4' long. It is build very much like a signal whip or pocket snake whip but ends with a viper tongue or quirt tail. This is often nothing more than a wide fall split down the middle to form a quirt tail. A quirt has 2 tails, held on usually by simply a fall hitch, then thong to heel knot or Turk's head. A light shot bag, single belly and bolster are really all that's needed inside the overlay. I recommend only a 8 or 12 plait overlay as the quirt is intended for more intense play and the finesse and articulation that a higher plait count gives really isn't needed and is a waste of money.Aug 23, 2023
