[anonymousmry99]

[anonymousmry99]

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

[AlchemistsCookbook]

jel moze neko da mi prevede sta znaci ,,paracord`` posto google translate ne izbacuje nista?

[mentorruss]

the medal " fid" where did you get it ?

[stylianidessss]

how do you make the jig

[iandstanley]

Great idea the jig - couple of thoughts came to mind whilst watching

1. The last pass - couldn't it be done on the outside making the knot easier to tie?

2. How about modifying the jig to hold the loose end - say another pencil with a bulldog clip superglued on?

[ninjahobo777]

how much cord did you use? for the whole knot plus the adjustable lanyard? is it all one piece?

[Led898Zeppelin]

how long is your cord?

[KrnBoyKevin]

sounds like someones getting attacked by a cat at 6:24

[DJSlimStallion]

how much paracord did you use for this?

[Carmarthan415]

This is the coolest craft video ever!

I've done this knot freehand and on a much smaller scale and it's a pain the butt....

[kevingg2000]

[cLaX1227]

Could you maybe, think of a way to make a jig for a double monkeys fist? Then a tutorial? Or a showcase?

[uberkewlmedia]

Jeez. You could practically go bowling with that thing!

[MrCardproductions]

sounds like a bunch of dying rats 6:20 to 6:40

[talon201211]

i`ve tried to tie this thing and never got it right how far apart are your pencils?

[countryman301]

Thanks for the video I made a jig for my bracelets but didn't think about one for the monkey fist

[BigJay604]

hehh.. I might have seen that log.. could be the same one where I picked this jig technique for monkeys fist knots..

Anyways, good upload - it's a pain to make 7 or more pass knots.. currently having a fight with a stubbern meteor hammer ball that doesn't like to stay inside the fist.. as u know, when they go bad and you've already cut the excess - "fixing" them is near impossible.. should have used more wraps, or thicker rope.. :-/

[suicide5389]

ive watched every video on yourtube about the monkeys fish knot and how to and i try and try and try again but never ever do i have sucess damn monkeys!

[TheMcmonies]

I am a 60 year old who first saw the monkeys fist when I was about 18. the person who made the fist would not make me on or show me how to do it. I saw your video, made the jig, and now I a thhe VERY proud possessor of a PERFECT monkey's fist.. Many,many thanks

[dwunltd]

you should include a little info about the monkey's fist, for those who don't know what it is.

[jrrob2468]

what kind of cord did you use what number do you recamend

[caliindica]

And I subscribed!!

[caliindica]

Kids...Aagghhhhhh!!!!Great video dude..it really helped alot.A little distracting with all the noise but still..GREAT!!!thank you for your time.

[Theknotman1964]

where do you get the steel balls from ???????

[kevingg2000]

@Theknotman1964 vxb.com

[Kdark7]

@kevingg2000 How much rope?

[TBaker1964]

Mine came out perfect first time! TYVM 

[kevingg2000]

@TBaker1964 bravo nice job

[paracordist99]

wow wsh i could make one lol

[biggnigg513]

@kevingg2000 about how much paracord did you use and was it gutted, does gutting it make it better ?

[kevingg2000]

@biggnigg513 NO, gutting the cord makes it far more difficult! I start with 20' to make my steel saints lanyard. just the fist takes around 10'

[MrViper10111]

Great job, like the jig, should try it. I used to make mine with ski rope and it works well but just a little thick though.

[ifnh8u2be]

Great idea on the jig!

love the kids fighting in high speed in the background :)

[RedDevil2n]

Where do you get your steel balls?



[OutdoorAdventureNet]

Awesome, Gonna try that, asap. THX

[kevingg2000]

@OutdoorAdventureNet best of luck thanks for watching

[riegirrl]

can you change the number of passes?

how do you end the cord when youre done?

[kevingg2000]

@riegirrl sure, same exact process. different size items take different number of passes to cover. two ends coming out can be made part of another braid, or brought together with a lanyard knot worked close to the fist

[mallardhead]

thank you!

[timhald]

Very. Cool I'm a subscriber

as a child a loved weaving and making latterns for my camping and boy scout stuff thanks for renewing that boyhood interest

Great job

[nbdavis47]

This man is truly selfless. He teaches you how to make what he sells using his techniques. Legend.

[kevingg2000]

Forge. Small is identical process and easy to do in the hand with up to 4 passes.

[forgewhore]

Big is cool but I want to do smaller ones for folding knives. I make the knives and want to make some lanyards.

[JJiG]

i don't see anywhere on that link you provided directions to make a MF jig. its unfortunate too he has some nice ideas but doesn't post much on that blog.

[my1956effie]

Cool. Would like to see the tightening as well.

[forgewhore]

Great vid....Thanks. I'm guessing smaller balls less wraps. Larger balls more?

[tronclay]

@forgewhore yes if you have smaller balls then you wrap them fewer times. Frankly, my balls are gigantic and require multiple wrappings. To each their own.

thanks for the video ive done a few of these but never really got into them but i think this simple little jig will make it a bit easier

[TTFN39]

@forgewhore Depends on the size of the cord, but for the same size cord, yes. Me, I prefer a globe knot to a monkey fist.

[MRSketch09]

Wow, this was really cool to watch. And great recorder angle as well.. and great quality. Did a slick job of getting up close. Really showed some nice detail.
