I did it, it came out great. Thanks for another tutorial video!

[@jazzyjaytee9961]

With the somewhat overzealous UK laws I just made one using a 30mm cork ball instead of a steel ball. Had to make six passes instead of five because of the larger circumference of the cork ball. Turned out beautifully. Thank you for posting this this jig-less instruction!

Thì cách làm của nó như này rồi làm đơn guatn cái gì

[@Bikewer]

Important note for anyone intending to use one of these as a weapon….. Most all state statutes classify a “slung shot” as a prohibited weapon to carry. A monkey’s fist is exactly what is meant by a slung shot… A “shot” in this case originally meant a naval round of “canister” or “grapeshot” meant to be fired from cannon. They were commonly made up and used by sailors… As weapons.

[@Amira_Phoenix]

What's the difference between slung shot and sling shot, please?

[@Bikewer]

@@Amira_Phoenix A “slung shot”, which is what this video illustrates, is a weight tied up in a “monkey’s fist” knot and used as a cosh or blackjack. A “slingshot” is the thing beloved by schoolboys (and some of us adults) which uses rubber bands to propel a projectile of some kind.

[@Jin.1000]

Slung shots are illegal but assault rifles are not. Makes sense.

[@inomad1313]

A few states have slungshot listed as a felony to carry them concealed. Notably, California, Massachusetts, Michigan and Oklahoma. A few have it listed as misdemeanor if carried concealed. I don’t know of any state that has the slungshot listed as illegal when carried openly.

[@Handeee805]

First time i saw monkey fist was on ship ,a small rope is attached to it and you throw it overboard ,a guy catches it and pulls a big rope that is attached to a small one . Its used that way because it would be clumsy to throw big rope especially if it has steel cable in it.

[@raibyo]

The small rope is called the Heaving line and the big one is called the Mooring Rope, and the entire process is called Mooring.

[@spencerrea]

Thankyou for doing this sir.

[@Davidroberthuang]

Thanks for this video. Very useful to have one without tools. I followed this to make my first Monkey’s First, a dog toy, using a 9-ball sized rubber ball, and 11 wraps. Took me quite a few goes, and my fingers ached, but finally got there.

Sweet. The Lock Master used to throw a monkey fist down to us so he could retrieve our tow boat deck lines when we’d make a lock on the Mississippi River. Now I’ll know how to make a monkey fist.

[@JTCoinRings]

Awesome video

[@anonymousf454]

Ive heard they were commonly thrown at a person's face really hard for the initial attack, and the retracted back to be swung or thrown again. Flicked out fast it could catch a person off guard even when out of range of fists or a knife.

[@johnrhodes3350]

I've not used one. But i imagine that it would be sung like a cosh or mace ball and chain flail

[@jeffryan7439]

Yes, that’s a good plan, When you swing it the rebound is real bad, it hits your wrist as hard as it hits the target, bad weapon if it hurts you

Yes, thats a hangman's knot. Its a knot that was basically designed for sharp impacts in mind as the coil of the cord acts like an innate compression spring.

what would you say the practicality is of this knot for breaking concrete in a lighter, smaller, and cheaper package than a sledge?

[@c0rruptedbrain]

After 3 tries I can do it without watching the vid now, thank you. Although it is harder ( maybe easier with a jig) I think doing 6 passes makes bearing more secure in there

[@nycmichaelg]

I think it depends on how thick the rope is.

[@valentenicoletti3622]

[@mrd7067]

Could you put a steel cable, wrapped in paracord in as a handle on it? I think that`s what the salors used when they were on land. Although i think it was from the 1800s or earlyer so they probably used something else.

While this is super interesting, a monkey fist is considered a weapon in many countries. PLEASE GOOGLE YOUR LAWS BEFORE MAKING ONE, FOLKS!

[@dawabbitt3079]

After a couple minutes of 'Google' research, I found that most ball bearings are “case hardened”, allowing the core to retain elasticity under load. Using a pair of vise-grips or a vice, you could grind a small flat spot onto the ball bearing. Clamping it into a drill press vice, you could (slowly) drill a 3/16" hole through the ball bearing - and then drill a 1/4" - 5/16" hole about halfway though. Your impact tool could then be simply suspended by a single length of paracord - thereby eliminating the need to wrap the ball in a monkey-fist knot... When you're done, it would be kinda like 'half' a set of Begleri beads - and you would be able to strike much harder surfaces with the bare steel ball without the worry of damaging the Monkey Fist. Wondering (also) if the 1" bearing was heated to red hot with a propane torch and then allowed to air-cool, it would then be 'annealed' - making it softer and easier to drill through. Then, after all the drilling, de-burring and chamfering were completed, it could then be heated to red-hot again and quickly quenched to again harden the steel. The different colors you could obtain on the ball itself from heating and quenching might make a good contrast of colors with different colors of paracord. You could also use larger diameter paracord for the lanyard. I also wonder - although not recommended because of safety issues - You could actually make them into an abnormally large set of Begleri Beads and play with them like vintage 'Clackers'. Anyway - Those are 'my' BB-In-A-Can runaway thoughts after watching this recent content - Thank you, for sharing! 👊

[@elmodiddly]

Jesus!! That is not the point at all. It's about creativity and art, learning to weave the cord into a traditional knot. Threading a steel ball on a bit of cord is pointless, ugly looking in comparison, bound to snap the cord and your theory of annealing and then heat treating is quite puerile. Quickly quenching makes it fragile! Try searching for martensite. More learning, less weed.

[@dawabbitt3079]

@@elmodiddly The point is that the TITLE describes this as an IMPACT tool. And although I forgot to mention sticking it in an oven afterwards for a couple of hours, the heat-treating would increase the ball bearing resiliency to HARD impacts. Wasn't a requirement, just a suggestion. The ONLY reason to wrap a ball bearing in a monkey-fist knot was so you could attach a cord to it, but I offered an alternative means. So please refrain from using the Lord's name in vain on a Sunday and pop a Midol or two.

Also illegal in most of the U.S. The "monkey fist" is a form of weapon you can serve time for using.

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

According to Wikipedia it's only illegal in the following states: California, Oklahoma, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, Washington, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and Vermont. If you find documentation that states otherwise though, please let me know as I would be interested.

@@TheWeaversofEternity Getting your legal advice from Wikipedia is the equivalent of asking a rock to do your taxes. It is completely illegal in most of those states, in over half of the ones you mentioned it's a felony to even carry it, and in all 50 states it is considered assault with a deadly weapon, even if you used it in self-defense and are allowed to "possess" it.
