@dresdyn100 Год назад

Nice, I'm an ex Aussie navy Sig, we used to make these for our flag signals halyards but we'd weigh them down with some old nuts in the middle. Your demonstration is much simpler than I remember the buffer on a ship I was on doing for us. In the intervening years I'd forgotten how to do it, so thanks, my dogs will love you 😀

Thank you for such a great detailed video. The fact that you didn’t go at break neck speed gives me hope that it will work when I try it!

The best Monkey’s fist I’ve ever seen. I really enjoy you’re tutorials .... more than any others actually. Thank you for your instruction.

@delrvrpilot4299 3 года назад

I made these while I was at a maritime academy. Wife asked if I could make one to use a door stopper and I said, "not a problem". Just as soon as I check out a refresher video. LOL. Well done on the vid! And, thank you!

@LanceNYC 2 года назад

Hey Delrvpilot! How would you use this to make a door stopper? Is it something you'd just drop on the floor? Or hang it from the doorknob? Something else??

@MegaCocoa23 4 года назад

One of the clearest, most detailed explanations I've seen for making a monkey's fist knot. Most of the others lose me when their hands get in the way of what I'm supposed to be seeing or they assume I should know something I don't know. This one has none of that. I make small versions of these for Christmas tree ornaments.

@Cheskaz Год назад

This is such a clear and easy to follow tutorial! Genuinely phenomenal! I now have a monkey's paw and you have a new follower! Cheers!

@sina8441 Год назад

Excellent tutorial! Never tried complicated knots, and I succeeded first time 'round. My puppy and I say thank you ^^

@trinityriver2008 5 лет назад

Fabulous! I tied many of these back in my tugboating days because ship's crews often didn't return them when we were doing assists, or crewmembers left them on barges. I used my Ashley's for guidance but never felt that book, comprehensive as it is, was the best tutorial. Video helps a lot, but this fellow's low-key simplicity and hints are just perfect.

@SF-fb6lv 4 года назад

TIP: The tightening may take several iterations; especially if you want to keep everything nicely organized. Super good explanation, thanks, worked on first try.

@TheFritz423 Год назад

Thank you!

@brianmontgomery5560 Год назад

Great videography and very detailed explanation on this knot. In the past when someone was trying to teach me this knot I’d get frustrated and just give up. I’m a lot older now and being in the scouts is all but a distant memory. I found your video and hoped for the best. Glad I did! That was definitely the best example of how to get this knot accomplished and added to the knot tying inventory. Thank you sir!

I messed up. I didn't know what strand to tighten next, because i tugged it from the center and the next strand didn't move (so I wasn't able to locate it). I kept going forward and back, forward and back. So I had to file my nails later. Great tutorial BTW. Very detailed

Width of a palm is roughly 3.5 inches. A full wrap around roughly 7. Times 3 wraps is 21. Times 3 sets of that is 63. Tack on a little for the first overhand and the tail, id say ~75-80 inches

I tied this knot once in the drawstring of some blinds, and discovered something I feel I need to pass on. DO NOT tie this knot in something unless you intend to leave it. As hard as it is to tie, it is even harder to untie. I really sweated it until I had the damn thing undone! My mother would have killed me! You've been warned. ;-)

Thank you for a well detailed and a pace that was perfect and in laymen's terms of you are just starting out and learning . I have been through at least 20 + videos nothing compares to the way you prepared ,demonstrated and paced every move while explaining in detail why. In my opinion the best tutorial video on the monkey fist knot anywhere with dozens of tries and alot of hours i kept getting lost ,thanks again God bless and looking forward to another spectacular tutorial down the road.

@jackrogersjr.4014 Год назад

That monkey fist noose is what I always have in my backpack as a weapon lol. But I made one as a rope toy for my dog too. And just made a pocket sized one for keys and stuff. I’m memorizing it now 😂 but I messed up on my last one so I’m still off by some. That’s why I came here.

I’ve got heaps of heavy lifting loop slings if you can figure out how to tie a ball with one of those you are a god amongst men. Cheers

@AFFI909 5 лет назад

You could make one using steel bolts, duck tape them together in a ball form, keep ductaping around it verry tightly until you have a smooth ball, its important to ductape tightly. Use youre brains, and household items to make a nice solid ball with old bolts/screws inside

@craigmandall9420 5 лет назад

The problem with this method is you have to pull all the rope through the minkey fist which is very difficult if you're using anthing approaching a decent length of rope

@brendanmoore8159 8 лет назад

So I am doing this with a thin paracord, just to learn this stuff. The issue I m consistently having with the cordage that I am using is that it keeps getting twisted up on itself and forming loops inside the knots. Do you have any suggestions or tricks that will help avoid this in wrapped core ropes?

@WhyKnot 8 лет назад

Instead of putting the end of the rope through the knot and pulling until it is tight, try folding the rope over then push the folded section through the knot and pull on the loop until the end slips through.

@brendanmoore8159 8 лет назад

Thanks for the reply.
