As a woodworker wannabe I just drilled holes into a piece of scrap wood and nailed in four long nails. It works great. And all of that because of you and your tutorials. Thank you, my cats are happy🤣

[@DZNTZ]

Thanks for posting this! I used 4, 6” lengths of a 1/4” dowel I had, and just drilled 4 holes in a square piece of scrap 1x4. Works great. Thanks again!

[@ezekielortega6040]

Actually lost my monkey jig and legit would have never thought of this! Great timing Tim 👌🏽

[@akshayybhandari6942]

I just made it and its very use full . Thanks Tim it means a lot

[@DanielJentsch]

I gotta tell you- I LOVE all of your videos and have watched almost all of them... Multiple times... I also LOVE your humor 🙂A couple little jokes tossed in here n there make an already useful DIY video even more enjoyable to watch 🙂 Thank you!

[@rosaviolet428]

Thank you for showing this. As a 16 year old girl i made this but smaller for my Keychain and i had to use it twice already. ur a hero in my eyes.

[@gregpynes6233]

Just starting to play with Paracord and I really appreciate your information. Thanks, Greg Pynes

[@CraigLYoung]

Been tieing these since I was a Scout in the 70's. It's a good technique to teach young people.

[@odettepross2435]

made one of these with perspex and long bolts 🙂

[@alexmontes3000]

These things for whatever reason are super addicting to make or maybe its just me. I have 2 that have over 100ft of paracord in them that ive unwound and rewound multiple times. All by hand and jerry rigged pens for a jig. Wish i had seen this video back then haha

[@allenwaters9256]

Sweet. Great way to make the jig. Would not have considered this at all.

[@lostfound8112]

Thanks. Good idea ill try it

[@giancarlocometa8278]

Hello, excellent tutorial on how to proceed to build yourself a frame for the monkey fist, but you try with a large marble, but if I want to do it with a smaller marble, should I change the cardboard with and make new holes?

[@Tsiri09]

Thank you. i gotta do this

[@GrabovoiFan]

Simplest and the best tutorial 👍💯

[@nauticalknotcraft]

New sub here. Nice video. Clear and easy to follow. Thanks.

[@queenielisalisalisa6139]

Thank you for the great idea👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@berigomez9953]

Muy buen invento gracias es la más facil

[@candychalidis807]

Awesome idea thanks 😊

[@caliber_560]

When I wanted one, I just pounded 4 nails into a flat piece of plywood

[@massielinostroza1619]

De todos los videos que vi fue el único que entendí!!!muchas Gracias!!!

[@nancyjulia]

Thank you so much easier🤗👌

[@malt2380]

It's one of those things that are so simple I never would've thought of, but works brilliantly.

[@dawabbitt3079]

Thank you for sharing this content! I was actually thinking of making a Monkey Fist this weekend using a golf ball and now I can make a template to help ease the frustration. - Ha! I've been making keychains and that skull bead bracelet these past two weeks - using your tutorials on snake knots, cobra knots and globe knots. Even made a couple of the Double-DNA ones. This will help prevent monotony and keep me interested in pursuing this therapeutic hobby! 👊

[@Aaron48219]

Thank you so much for this! I tried making a monkey fist without a jig and it was a disaster.

[@danielstigall7775]

Just so you know this video was very very helpful thank you a lot

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jamiemichael4190]

Like the intro music it’s the same intro that Mike uses on his Channel “That Chapter”, he has an awesome True Crime Channel.

[@NomadicCreator]

You are a blessing. 🙏

[@kristy8477]

Thanks! Great video!!

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

You're welcome and thank you!

[@John-lv1zq]

So clever!!!

[@user-oi3ry9dx9u]

I have absolutely no idea how I ended up here, but I'm happy for it all the same.

[@mattiaranzanici8105]

Me too

[@sven1668]

Who doesn't love balls? Am i right

[@emilietan829]

Merci pour votre vidéo j'adore

[@HarmonicaMustang]

Fantastic content (as always). Are there any wristband designs that could incorporate an NFC tag? Would be an interesting challenge.

[@cynthiaacevedo8314]

Omg that is grate thanks

[@EngineerDJ_Julius]

it's so pretty! I want 15

[@berigomez9953]

Felicidades es muchacho eso es 💡 ideal

[@purplerider2362]

I actually made one of these many years ago! I actually saw it in KZbin ads. And I was like wtf!?? I invented that thing! Well it turns out it already existed

[@yahusrevus]

With only making a few of these here and there, I could never justify buying a jig. So, this is perfect. Thanks! "Hehe boi!" (LOL)

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

You're welcome! 👩🏾‍🍳LOL

[@deefinbutton]

I made one with macrame sticks and a resin base

[@Browkisanak]

Its really awesome content creator 👍👍👍.. like it ✌️🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🙏🙏

[@JeffGoins88]

Question, where do you get your steel ball bearings at?

[@user-sn9sh2hr5s]

About how long of a piece should it be lengthwise ? Need a handle or place to hold/swing it, right

[@berigomez9953]

Puede ser del tamaño que tu quieras no sólo el de los dedos

[@machellyuranycifuentesbedo6646]

Cuáles son las medidas para colocar los palitos

[@mariarandolph8402]

What are they for?

[@reginahudson9909]

Never heard of them , what are they for and what is it that you put in the middle ? It was very interesting to watch . Thank you !

[@dreugh424]

You put a steel ball in the middle, grab the handle, and bash the head in of someone who wants smoke w you

[@berigomez9953]

Magnífica 💡

[@sicot10]

What is a nice size steel ball? 1 inch or less?

[@EdinalvaDosSantos-sz1bi]

Adorei

[@bainesy9012]

Excellent video thank you. Sadly monkey fists are illegal in the nanny state Britain.

[@gregscountrycabinoutdoors7359]

I made my first monkey fist jig from scrap wood, and chop stix

[@danycuadros8695]

Magnifique mais j.aimerai bien trouver une aiguille avec l’embout pour enfiler le cordon dites moi ou je pourrais en trouver merci beaucoup

[@ritawashere5787]

Thank you for this video. I just shared it on Pinterest. And subscribed as well. I'm looking forward to checking out what else you have on your channel. ❤️

[@erautome]

Comment vous avez fait l'aiguille ?

[@adamozaur]

the weavers of eternity paracord is basicaly a weaving type clone of north of the border

[@chriskelly4102]

I have one from the thirtys used by brutal cops. The leather fist with a woven handle.

[@JokerInk-CustomBuilds]

I have a free jig: My hands...

[@brittabrandtoft110]

You must be the right person to ask.. I want to make a bracelet (in leather) attached with pearls. When I tie, I have 4 threads at the end, but I really want a monkey hand at the end. (Used as a "button" to close the bracelet when I start with a "ring") Can it be done at all? I have tried to make the monkey hand with 2 cords, it goes ok, but the last tight is difficult as it is thin leather cord and it should sit close to the tied end. But thinking it can be done with patience 🧘🏼‍♀️😅 However, I still do not know what to do with the last 2 strings 🤷🏼‍♀️ Do you have a suggestion? I can not immediately see you have made a video, but maybe because you can not 🤔🤔 I hope you understand my question 🤞🏻 My English is not super, and Google translate as well 😉

[@laineywright2696]

A Cheap but better alternative to make the gig would be to use aluminum knitting needles and balsa wood.

[@yly9212]

omg thats u so much for this video

[@BlindDude]

do you have a cheap fast solution for the needle thing you have?

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

I sure do, you can actually make a lacing needle out of the paracord itself, I have a video on that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kH3JpaGErMqcfKcsi=hGkDxrxsZIisX2bN

[@bobiijae790]

so what can. I use for theifdle if I don't want a super heavy monkey fist, what it I have a bouncy ball or even a golf ball can. I use those as a center for the monkey fist

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

Yes, you can use just about any round object for the core.

[@nakiahammer]

What is that needle you use to feed thecord with?

[@DZNTZ]

It’s called a fid, it has a threaded hole in the end so you can kinda screw the end of a paracord into it and use it to get in tight spots. Really helpful for the more intricate weaves, and super cheap to buy. Hope that helps!

[@JesusRamos-ic7sr]

Epoxy can go a long way too

[@-F0XHOUND-]

Btw keep up the good work

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

Will do, thanks!

[@-F0XHOUND-]

Thx for the reply

[@Rick-if5zb]

I have heard that these knots ar illegal if they have a heavy core.

[@suzannerobinson6086]

Whey bwaay!😂

[@raymondmartin3502]

Yeah where do you buy the steel ball for the monkey fest what stores

[@raymondmartin3502]

My name is Raymond Martin trying to find out where I can get the fuel ball for a Marquita where I could get them or purchase them could you get them from a place called The hobby lobby

[@flying_horse]

Saw this video and thought it was easy enough Bought myself 2 pieces of 3 meter cord and found a small soft ball I had in a drawer Turns out the ball was in fact not small . and 3 meters was not enough also the cord was differesnt diameter ( WTF ) . and plot twist 6 meters was still not enough Had to find another piece to make it work , also diferent diameter And now I have a ball wrapped in cord hanging from a bookshelf and it honestly looks decent Spent 3 hours on this , would do it again

[@monikahirka9780]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@christopherharvell7410]

I've always just used my hands

[@ZippedUpKitz]

Before I bought a real MF Jig, I made one out of a styrofoam block and pencils… it worked, but nothing works as well as the real thing (in this case anyway!)

[@chriskeel3096]

the ONLY purpose for the monkeys fist is you know you trying to pick a fight against someone thats unarmed. nobody capable is gonna be afraid of that

[@acidspittingemu5871]

Say that again after seeing one made from either a 4 oz lead weight or a pool ball core. 🤣🤣

[@jay-peephillips2349]

Hey, why is it called 'Monkeys Fist / Monkey's Ball'? I'd call it 'Dawid's Sling'

[@cwade1672]

I made one from a small box and throw away chopsticks

[@WaschyNumber1]

🖖 👍

[@FranciscVasile]

i dont get the 3rd pass. tried it 7 times. it doesnt go as planned. in your first video, u cut out the beginning of the 3rd pass. in this, i cannot see. im getting very frustrated. i cannot make this damn monkey fist.

[@makewithmegma]

💕👌🔥👍

[@johnny84608]

Even on slow-motion this guy is still to fast to keep up with

[@DragonSlayer-ho4mi]

Disney commercial. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 NO.

[@davehysom2636]

around 2:10, where you cut-pasted, NO! NO! NO! Please don't do this -- impossible to see what you're doing.

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

After the first set of wraps, the cord turns 90 degrees and starts wrapping perpendicular to the first set of wraps. If you pause at 2:13 you can see the path of the cord. I hope that helps!

[@TrashPoet]

as a responsible person you would have mentioned that a monkeyfist with steelball core is illegal in several countries, because it is a deadly weapon, but who cares its just about being responsible, and who on youtube is ? yolo huh ?

[@baker6469]

Bruh, you stole this idea from The Bradinator

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

I had to look that person up because I'm not familiar with them, but my original video using this method pre-dates his video. I first uploaded a video using this method 6 years ago, The Bradinator uploaded his 4 years ago. My original video is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWeXnaefit2pmpo
