I've always wrapped a monkey knot (when changing from X,Y, or Z) by crossing to the farthest wrap first, instead of the nearest. When I do that, both my ends come out in the same spot. So there is no need to Pass the tail end under wraps to reach the other end. I hope that makes sense. It's hard to explain without a picture.
@@coreymahoney5365 I know what you mean, I've been playing around with that method. I kind of did it by accident once, and with your description and a bit more practice, I will be using that method from now on, thanks for the comment!
Please mark your videos with time stamp info from now on 😁
I went to the description looking for the Discord page, but it isn't there. Is it still active?

Just made this .... total beginner to having a finished product that I am proud of in about 3 hours. Had to redo the monkey fist about 6 times to figure out which way to twist on the turns. You need to have just the right amount of wraps for it to look good. Did 4 wraps on a 1 inch ball and you actually need 5 for it look good I think. Thanks for the vid.
I was thinking 5 too. I I may try that. I’ve been messing with the 4 wraps and can’t seem to get it to cover the whole ball.
@@belden007 I'm at a complete loss on this video. I've executed the technique before, but it takes 5 passes on a 1" ball to completely cover it. 4 passes will cover a 3/4" ball, but the diamond knot on top is too small to be proportional to a 3/4" ball. The ball in the video is in proportion to the split keyring included.
Which makes it very annoying to me because I've wanted to produce a near-exact replica of this stinger since I first found the video three years ago.
I never knew what a monkey fist was or if I even needed one until TH-cam recommended your channel today for no apparent reason
Being an old Navy man. A monkey's fist was tied onto the end of a line similar to clothes line...Had a much larger core. the other end of the line was tied to the bight of the ship's mooring line. So when the ship pulls up to the dock, a Boatswain's Mate would heave the line with the monkey's fist to a crew on the dock and they would proceed to pull the ship's mooring line over, hopefully keeping it out of the water.
@@LoneWolf-jh3fi threw a many monkey's fist they used to be lined with a lead ball, we learned to get good with them and hit a predetermined spot usually meant early liberty or you did not have to buy rounds that night ,

That thing brings back a lot of happy memories!
In my younger years I was a Linesman for a commercial ferry company with many and varied duties, but my main job (other than Customs paperwork) was tying up the vessels as they arrived.
We used to call those knots Monkey Nuts, they were much bigger though and were attached to the end of a long line of rope called the Heaving Line.
You wind the rope up like a Lasso, making sure to have a firm grip on your end of the rope, and with a firm swing you could launch that thing right into the hands of vessel engineers at a distance of 30ft (after a _lot_ of practice), the crew attaches it to one of the main heavy mooring lines and then you pull both lines back in and tie the vessel up (usually four mooring lines in total).
The new guys always got laughed at by the French vessel crews, those things can go flying in any direction until you get the knack.
We had a lot of banter, despite the language barrier, lol
There were a lot of tears when that company went under, we all miss that job a lot, we were like a large dysfunctional yet loving family, lol
Starting to feel sad now, lol, I’m off
Happy New Year all! 🍻
I have been making my own version of these for over twenty years, I really wish I had the benefit of your video when I first started, it would have saved me a lot of headaches and bad language.
Excellent tutorial.
I stick with the old standard "toaster in a pillowcase", but this looks pretty good too.
Simpsons used a pillowcase with door knobs hahaha
LMAO....
Back in the 80's we just used bars of soap in a pillow case.
It was called a "Blanket Party" until A Few Good Men came along and changed it to a "Code Red".

i really like the detail you go into! obviously you are well skilled at this but you break it down to the point that learners can give it a go 😀
Excellent tutorial which gives the viewer a chance to understand and do the same: great job - thank You😀
This is the best demonstration of how to tie/create a monkeys fist that I have seen to date. Thank You!
These are badass. You may have inspired me to start my own hustle. I have a knack for knots but never really found a cool use for them outside of camping lines and mooring my grandad's boat.
A lot of Police carry them.
Thank you good sir, for the impeccable tutorage of steel ball bearing entrapment, brilliant I say, simply brilliant!
looks cool, but my lock in a sock hasn't let me down yet..
I use a bandana with a master lock tied to the end! Works real good!
Weak AF😂😂😂😂😂
TheOtherDoug ...have you ever slocked anyone?
@@TheOtherDoug multiple socks in a sock works well too
still nothing beats my hedgehog in a sock
Sees the square knot and instantly goes anyone whos made a scobi bracelet or keychain will remember that vividly, this would be the perfect bag decoration 100% would make so ill be following this tutorial keep up the loopy work :)
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and keep videos like this one coming...
Great video. After 4 or 5 times of just trying to wrap my head around whats going on, now remaking 3 or 4 a night for fun. Oddly satisfying.
Stop it you didn't actually make one did you?
@@fishfire_2999 imagine liking your own comment lol
WTF R U babbling about ?
@@fishfire_2999 Somebody is upset
Thank you for your awsome tutorials
My brother made me a full size one. With a cue ball in it. Badass
Cool, I love the vibe of the video.
I'm also new to paracord items world so it was super instructive.
Thanks a lot
Very cool. Enjoyed watching; you have a relaxing method of instruction. Thanks for the vid!
I was lost when I got to the dimond know so I had to search up a separate video but after that I was fine. I completed it and it looks great. Thank you so much.
The future is full of self inflicted head trama
Very nice looking and a lot of good information to make on. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Very informative I learned how to do this locked up we would use a chunk of soap and just 4 way braid down with pressure and then put the handle down I’d would only work a few times
I started useing one know I'm useing Two good exercise help me focus my mind great for self defense great video
This is hilarious, I bet you would make a great antifa berserker swinging two of these around. May think it's great for self defense but I bet you get knocked out twirling your fairy balls

I just want to say that I have been a Subscriber to your Channel for about 6 years now. I initially subbed to your Channel after watching your video on how to tie a Lanyard Knot or Diamond Knot as it’s also called back in Feb 2014. I have made a lot of 550 paracord motorcycle get back whips, key fobs, knife lanyards and various styles of bracelets over the years and I have always enjoyed watching your videos and getting ideas for my projects. Thank you so much for your time in making these videos and uploading them to your Channel for us to watch. WoE ROCKS!!! 😎😎👍👍
Wow, thank you for being a subscriber and following me for so long! I'm glad you've been getting enjoyment out of the videos, you're very welcome!
My pleasure. Keep those awesome videos coming. 😎👍
Love this!
This was the best video on how to learn this! Thank you
Ugh!! I can’t make this darn thing!!! The guy makes it look so easy lol...I know I’ll get it, I’m just annoyed that I haven’t found my “groove” just yet
Monkey Fist - sounds like a great band name 👍🏽
It IS a band name.
@@CadillacDriver
Awesome !
I wasn’t aware of that
I just got it figured. Thanks soo much!
you make it look so easy!!
Excellent tutorial! (Here's a tip.) If you cut the other 2 strands of paracord right before the snake knot, the lobster hook will be attached much better. It won't take much for the paracord loop to come apart at the end, and the hook to come off in the way he is showing it.
Okay I might be dumb and misreading this but you say right before the snake knot? To me it looks like that's where exactly where he cuts it? Do you mean cutting it right after the first snake knot? Or are you saying to keep the strands in the bundle that you tie the snake knots around?
@@adri92239 No, that's not a dumb question. At 7:10 he cuts the vertical strands before making the snake knot. If you look closely, the strands that he cuts are the ones securing the lobster clip to the rest of the monkey's fist. The paracord has to only loosten a little and the clip will break free.
Don't cut those strands.
Instead, cut the horizontal strands. This means that you'll make the snake knot with the same strands that are holding the clip on, and will result in the clip being impossible to come off.
Hope that helps
Yeah, no kidding. I love his projects, but sometimes I have a make modifications to the design for better results. I'm going to make one of these, leave all four strands integral, and alternate them on the snake knot so nothing can work itself loose.
I started putting bouncy balls instead of ball bearings 20 something years ago. Monkeys fists look cool, tie on to many tools/items and make it so the end won’t slip through your hand. I would put a loop large enough to put my hand through before the monkeys fist knot. It was used to wrap around our wrists so we didn’t drop the tool attached when working up high. You get hit once with that ball bearing it’ll change your mind…. When it’s hanging out of your pocket it’ll swing around and get you in the sweet spot seemingly every time. 😆
@Zahdorfi soy milk for you, child. Now.
Watched your videos years ago , just been hit by a truck off my motorbike legs out of action for 12 weeks so I'm finally starting ! Thanks for curing my bordem and starting a project I wanted to years ago 😂
This is the
awesomest thing i have ever
seen! ! ! OMG
Nice I knew about monkey fist without the bearing but nice idea of course if you used longer cord and bigger fist and made 3 of them and weaved them together you could make a nasty bolo as well
Very cool tutorial. Being a lazy person, I just wrap a 9 ounce lead fishing sinker in a bandana. Since it will crack a coconut, it should serve it's intended purpose nicely.
Ive always seen women use tools like this on their keychains lol. I just carry a knife

Right when I was going to say "get a fid!!" You got a fid.
What's a fid?
@@redeyestones3738 it's a poking tool (like the tip of an antler) that one uses to separate cordage/loosen knot whilst arranging to tighten

All these years i thought i didnt know how to do a 4 strand braid and it's the same as doing a round Scooby bracelett!
Nice brade and monkey knot i made one with a half pound steel ball. Deadly
I need this guy to go fishing with me for when I get a backlash on my baitcaster reel so he can undo all those knots I find myself making then cursing at!!
LOL!!!! Pulling out backlash knots isn’t fun at all. Especially when you think you have them all cleared out, pull on the slack and find more. 🤣🤣
When u backlash pull the line out til it stops then put your thumb on the reel where the backlash is and reel in a little bit, then stop pull some line out and put your thumb back on the line at backlash while you reel it in. You have to leave your thumb on line while you reel it in. Sounds stupid but it works in seconds
Another well described tutorial - easy to follow and I look forward to trying it.
wow, i just found my new hobby i have been looking for, Thank You!
im trying it! weeeee
2 feet on the left before your begin? more like 3 or 4 if the cords are supposed to be the same length after the basic ball shape is done, just FYI
TH-cam recommendations just showing me random things now great video
Cool. Definitely NOT a stoner project !! I ended up tying myself to the chair I was in. HELP !!
Are you still stuck?
😂
@@bukt Yes !!! Bring water PLEASE !!!!
Nice tutorial. I made one of these, but I used a bowling ball instead of the tiny steel ball.
Nice that monentums. a mofofosho!!!
@The Polish Wonder At least 12 lbs
So... You got a miniature wrecking ball in your hands.
On what did you use it for?
Big pockets? 😜
Awesome!
Thank you
So when will you show us how to make the Monkey? If the Flying Dutchman can do it, I'm sure you can do it too
Что это такое????
How about the poop loop?
.....and now we are on the moon. Holy cow. I was so lost. Cool project though.
😂😂😂
My preferred way to break into cars now! Works so good!
Thank you!!!
Whoever the dude was that came up with all these knots must have had a lot of free time
Lengthen the lanyard out to 8’ now you’ve got a real weapon for long or short range.
If it's too long you run the risk of whacking yourself with it.
Awsome Tim just orders some stuff to try this 👍
I can use an undershirt, a tank top, and make a knot of the bottom part.
Also if you make two of them, you can interlink the shoulder straps and you'll get a *"Tank Top Nunchucks"*
But I think it's better to fight with one tank top wrecking ball in each hand. It's being like Thor fighting with two hammers.
It's nonlethal but delivers a harder blow.
I'm not sure why this popped up.
I'm less sure why I watched it all.
I know I got lost very early on.
Made this myself, except with an 8 ball. ✌🏻🤣
Gonna make one with a golf ball. Fore!
Tank you
when I was in navy, I used this for throwing line.
-- I bet that idea came up after a few hours of playing WATCH DOGS 2. . .😁
Nice work!
That’s what I instantly thought of when I saw this video
Two thumbs up! Great video. Thanks!
Thank you, made me a great Daughter for my father!
No idea how I got here but I'm fairly confident I would be more successful performing brain surgery blindfolded than I would be trying to replicate that.
Try both and compare, then make a yt video
in the old days these would be tied on the ends of ropes to help when throwing them. Some sailors would use them, others would cut them off when they saw them because they were dangerous
This so cool! I want one made from this channel! Good work btw!🤘🏼

I’m getting the ball bearing showing throw the monkeys fist how do I fix this
Do an 5 passes instead of 4.
That's some bos'n mate stuff there.
i bought one of these on a keyring from amazon a while ago, before they stopped selling good self defense stuff, i added a pepper spray pouch that i converted to a lock back folding knife sheath and i do carry it, it works well as a conversation piece as well as a self defense tool. it wouldn't take a buck 110 in the pepper spray pouch but it did take the puma game warden nice and snug, it was on the table at lunch one day and one of my co-workers asked what it was so i tossed it to him and as soon as he held it in his hand he was really wanting one put together the same way, then he took the knife out and cut his finger with it
Just carry a gun. You're going to get killed carrying this crap.
Self defense? Maybe just stay away from whereever it is you think you need to carry a weapon! 🙂
@@keltiquewood that would be impossible in today's world
@@richardmcginnis5344 Not the world I live in!
Do you sell these? As I can’t be arsed to do this😂🍻
Loved your video! I've been tying monkey fist knots since I was 14 (1987) All the ones I've ever tied have been ship bell lanyards or for heaving lines.
Please forgive my ignorance, but, when you call it an impact tool I'm not 100% sure what that means. So impact tool would be...like something to break glass in an emergency?
I swear I'm not a troll. 🤓
Depends on who you are. A lot of people would see it as a weapon, but I was kind of wondering how useful it might be as a glass breaker with the paracord softening the blow. Other than that, it's kind of a neat keychain idea if you're prone to losing them?
@@return2sender791 so is a screw driver
Nice work.
Chain and lock works good
OH man I thought you were going to hit something with it.
Hey so love your video so far, and this is probably the best tutorial I've seen on youtube for this specific version of the monkey's fist. HoW eEvR I have a slight problem. So I've done the monkey's fist exactly sd you've shown it, but I can't help but notice that there are gaps in my knot where the steel ball is showing. I'm using the exact same cord as your user, and I'm following the tutorial religiously, but there are gaps in mine and none in yours. Any ideas on how to fix or what's going on? I think it's that the cord I'm using is brand new, so it's probably not taking up as much space as yours is volume-wise, but that's my theory. Any suggestions?
Hey Dylan, if you're getting a gap and the core is showing do one extra pass on each side. So instead of 4 like I did in the video, do 5. That should cover the core up completely.
@@TheWeaversofEternity I'll give it a try. Thx man and love your videos
Your rope to ball ratio is off! If your rope is to small and your ball to big, as is often the case, try reducing the size of your ball or make your rope bigger.
Nice to see guys knitting
