Great skills, you beat me on tricks and speed, but i didn't have exactly this. I trained to swing a cylindrical lock on a thin chain - dimensions 50mmH×16mmD with a bit tapered edges, ~4mm skinny link chain ~40cm long. I attached a nut and bolt to the vacant end for grip, using it as a untested irl weapon, it was much more heavy though (ok, stil a toy)).. Brought back memories of my initial emigration of one of Baltic states to England. I was 18 and had to wait for middlemen to get us another place to work and live. If i remember it was Hawthorn street in Seven Sisters or near Chelsea, in some spots a bit rough neighbourhood just after the turn of millenia. Knifes were already banned i think, and we didn't know what we got ourselves into. Turns out nothing violent, that time we were lucky. Not so much later, but that thing was painful to recieve. Yours is in better spirit.

[@JustJimWillDo]

Some years ago my neighbour and I lived in identical houses with only the floor plans mirrored. I wanted to wallpaper my living room and, as he had wallpapered his just a few months prior, I asked him how many rolls of wallpaper he had bought. He told me he bought 26 rolls, so I bought the same. Afterwards told him I had 8 rolls left over. He said, "That's funny, so did I!" That's what the measurements in this video are like! 😂🤣

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

😂🤣😅

[@willwilliams2944]

Probably should of asked him if he had any rolls left over before buying. He did buy 26 so he did give you the correct answer. You could have been specific and asked him how many rolls he used. I would have gave you all three no matter what you asked me though. Still funny as hell, I've just learned along time ago not to trust people and ask so many questions that they become tired of me asking.

If anyone else is like me and only has 550 cord you can use the internal strands as a replacement for the 95 cord, I used three of them together and it's working well enough so far. Doesn't look quite as nice but it gets the job done. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@lordmaddrox]

Nice ,i had the same thought to try that, I think ill try a hi strength string 1st like for leveling ground then since you went inner strand route already just for shts n giggles. Edit : update it works also , i braided 3 strings together , gives it a neon green look to it since thats what i had laying around

[@thomasmcmahan2014]

I actually just used 550 paracord with the inner strands taken out, so I only used the sheath of 550. It tightens down great and sits flat in a cobra knot.

[@dawabbitt3079]

Just so everyone here knows (Mostly for technical geeks like me - The "11 MM OUTER DIAMETER" Brass Hexnuts are *more commonly* referred to as 1/4"-20 hex nuts. The metric size closest to this size (just slightly smaller) is an M6 nut, which is 10mm outer diameter. M6 nuts are typically 5mm (0.197") thick, so stacking three would equal 15mm height. (0.590") Advertised on one site I managed to find, a 100 piece box of 1/4"- 20 BRASS FINISHED HEX NUTS weighs 0.78lbs, so each nut (I'm guessing) weighs .0078 pounds (3.5380 grams) - - Soooo... Three brass nuts would equal 10.614 grams per 'bead'. A lot of Begleri groups typically shoot for 15 grams per 'bead', so (weight-wise) these would be a little on the light side. If you are experienced with Begleri, maybe conisider adding FOUR nuts, instead of three - for a finished HEIGHT of 0.787" (20mm) and a finished weight of 14.15 grams. (Results may vary, depending on nut type, manufacturer, whether you sanded and polished them - blah, blah. I'm basing this info entirely off of 'Google' searches, not by actually making these myself. Anywho... I was REALLY 'into' making Begleri a few years ago - always searching for something new, easy and cheap to use as the 'beads', so I find this video VERY interesting. It's the way the Begleri are attached in this video - I've never seen that before. Thank you very much for sharing this content, as now it will give me something else (yet again) to make this weekend. 👊

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

Thanks for that info! I have never really been able to figure out the proper sizes for hex nuts as the measurements always confuse me and give me a headache!

[@joshuahelt6589]

@@TheWeaversofEternity 1/4-20 means 1/4 inch diameter across the bolt or nut (thread peak to peak) and 20 threads per inch (typically referred to as "course thread" in comparison to 1/4-28 fine thread) along the length of the bolt or nut.

[@spevakdesigns]

Thanks! Bronze or brass bushings would be worth looking at too. You could also chuck 1/2" solid round rod in your drill press and once carefully centering it, bring it down on a drill bit in a vice. Poor man's lathe. By spinning the round rod, the drill will stay centered in the round rod.

[@johannesimpybgg5174]

I'm afraid your Google results were not correct. I have M6 brass nuts here. They're only around 4.4 mm high and 10 mm wide. But the biggest problem is that they only weigh 2.2 g each, so even with stacking 4 you'd only get a bead of 8.8 g. I would advise to use M8 brass nuts instead. They're bigger and you need to tie the cord around them REALLY good so the stack stays in place, but they're 5 g each and a stack of three has a nice size with 15 g total...

Thank you for this guide! I was able to scrounge up 4 nuts from my garage and made a set for free! Without you I wouldn’t have ever had the idea to make something cool like this. Now I can begleri all day!

[@dgoddard]

Not sure why this came across my suggestions, but here I am. When I was in the Army back in 1993 I made a keychain out of 550 paracord. It has been on ever set of keys for every daily driver I've ever owned and I still use it to this day. It's almost 30 years old and, other than being a little dirty, is in perfect shape. I subbed your channel, because I'd like to do this again. I'm not sure if I can due to arthritis and carpal tunnel in my hands, but I see that cord is much cheaper now than it was back in the day. So I think I'll buy a small roll and mess around with it. Cool video and great little skill toy.

You know, I was looking for something like this. I know that some people have made special PENS for twirling and such, but I hadn't seen anyone do it with a cord or chain. I'm a chain maille artist, and I made myself a necklace out of 2400 1/8" rings that I often use as a fidget toy. It's FAR too long to do the short tricks you have here, but now that I know about "Begleri", I can do more research now! Thanks!

[@anthonyschutz7201]

Interesting begleri idea I came up with. I used 5 smaller hex nuts to make each sude, and then a separate strand to make the knot used for pineapples to make a pineapple begleri. Super easy and sooo satisfying.

[@panickmode577]

so guys if you want to save some time you only do the nuts at the end Begleri (Greek: μπεγλέρι) moves in a way that the beads hex in this example always stay in place . in Greece this used to be very popular and to make one we used a string of leather and two heavy big beads from amber if you can find them otherwise synthetic ones or hexes like in the video . i came across this video by accident now i need to go search for my komboloi cheers

[@notice_fpv]

You earned my LIKE with your subtle humor. 😉

[@Zodliness]

After tying the first two cobra knots, place the two cords alongside the thicker inner core and slide the nuts over all three, then tie the second set of cobra knots and finish by burning to seal together (as demonstrated). Doing this hides the strands (unlike above) that sit over the nuts, I think spoiling the look of the polished brass. Who doesn't like playing with polished nuts eh? 🤣

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

That's a great idea! Thank you for sharing that!

[@Zodliness]

@@TheWeaversofEternity I came across this video purely by chance, I think because I was looking up different knotting techniques a few days ago, I'm glad I did, your video brought back some pretty funny memories of a time when we'd sit bored sh*tless in the workshop waiting for 5pm to come around having completed our daily quotas.

[@davidm8371]

Here's what I used: Paracord: cut to 8 1/4" (2) Mason's Cord: cut to 8 1/4" [The reason for the extra 1/4" is that they will melt to just over 8"] 1/4-20 nuts... [Zinc is the least expensive, at 17c each, but the most is blackened zinc at 30c. The grade 8 ones used in the video end up around 26c] Instead of cutting to length, draw the finished ends out (but not too far) and then melt. 6" is simply not enough for this task.
