thats how the cheeky bugger did it. my granddad was a skipper by trade and he kept his keys on a "monkey fist" as he called it. he put a big ol bit of cork in the place of the steel ball and thats what helped them float when i accidentally dropped them overboard when we were doing a boat delivery on the Norfolk broads when i was a kid. he actually made it himself and ive always wonderd how he did it.

I could see turning a blade and two sticks into a scythe with knitting. perhaps you could replace the sticks with knitting alone but it would take a lot of rope, and perhaps you could replace the single blade with many razor blades linked together to make a blade, to prevent it from being wobbly you would likely need to add acrylic, but then it's not truly just knitting alone. perhaps you could melt the cord some to harden it, perhaps even if you use lots of melted and pressed ends you could replace the blade, but again at that point it's more of plastic and not really fully knitting. rope craft I guess.

It was 1992 the first time I made a Monkey's Fist. I was 18, in the US Navy, & was watching this Boatswain's Mate First Class Petty Officer on the fan trail of our ship, the USS Mobile LKA115, a gator freighter pulling out of Long Beach. He was making up a few with lead to throw to the peer while mooring. 'Boats' had done about 10 in twice as many minutes, never once looking at them, while carrying on a conversation with a few other deck hands. When they left I asked what is was & what is for, then asking if he'd show me how to make it. He showed me once quickly & went back up to the forecastle where he ran the storage locker. I was a Boiler Tech on the fire room side of our combined space. Got a little flak for tying knots & playing with lines, but I NEVER EVER forgot how to make a Monkey's Fist.

We had a variety on the ship(s) depending on the range and wind you had to use them. The biggest was literally fist sized, and could travel nearly a hundred yards in a high wind (put one through the side window of the Commodore's official car at what we figured was over 50 yards!

I find it alit easier if he watches it first so I know he's paying attention to everything you've doing and he caught me going the wrong way once and corrected me, that's a so proud of him moment. Call it a win win for this old Papa. He and I spend quality time together an he's learning about making something from regular straight length of rope or cordage into a useful tool.

@tomkenney53654 жыл бұрын
Nice whacker. Just a note: when enjoying (employing) the "fun and novelty" of this project, when the fist hits something solid it will rebound, especially if you swing through, and that rebound can go in unexpected directions, but because of the "maximum retention," it will be in the user's general direction. A 1.5" steel ball monkey's fist to the forearm/elbow will suck. Take my word for it. With this type of weap...umm...impact tool, a 'crack the whip' motion is the best/safest movement, or pulling down/towards you at the moment of impact to maintain control of the ball.

I'm not happy with the way it's tied. The wrapping around the ball is good, the braided looped handle is substantial, but the ball is attached to the handle with only two cords. Four would offer more security.
@nickwilliams83023 жыл бұрын
@@maxzhao8331 Correct. You'd _think_ something like that would rebound, but they usually don't. This thing looks very similar to a "brock", basically a kind of cosh. The idea is to have only a couple inches of cord between your fist and the weight. How it's normally used is as a force multiplier to the power hand (right for most people) in a regular boxing stance. You wouldn't want to swing the thing around by the end of the cord like a rope-dart or something (which you'd need to be doing to be in danger of hitting your own elbow).

I've been thinking. If I were to skip the diamond knot and start the round braid right at the base of the fist and do a long round braid and do a long splice. I could then start the crown know at the base of the fist. Hopefully I would end up with a fist at the top of a semi rigid "stick". Once it's complete (don't expect it soon) I'll post pictures of the completed project. The other option (which I've done) is to tie a lanyard knot between the diamond knot and the base of the fist. This keeps the fist from wobbling a bit more. It's never going to be completely rigid, but it comes darned close.

Brilliantly made video, informative, clear, with a wonderful end product. I have a minor issue with a design feature. Where the ball weave joins the handle braid, there is only two strands holding the weight of the ball. I know true paracord is strong, but it still appears to be a weak spot joining two very strong sections. Would it be better to braid the whole tool with four strands and therefore strengthen this section?

My folks an I went to the ship celebration in San Diego one year that featured all kinds of sailing craft and a nuclear Russian sub you could tour. One exhibit had a hands on showing of a monkey's fist ball and rope with 3/8's line and a softball for the core. They had a game of chance to toss the ball into a target but it was a scam due to the complete lack of real weight in the fist to overcome the weight of the rope for the thrown distance. My father and I were linemen and we would make our own throw lines for running phone lines through tree lines and tossing lines up a pole to other workers, so we tried the game and got the closest over all others that tried that day, including long time sailors. Had the fist been weighted with like a small cannon ball (as would be normal) we would have easily hit the targets.

originally, monkey's fists was a sailor's knot that was used to make lengths of rope easier to toss - like say for boarding another ship, or from ship to shore. Usually they were made around a length of lead shot or some similarly 'heavy' object to give it some heft. They could, in extreme cases, be used as a crude weapon though usually belaying pins were more common and just as nasty.

Thank you sir. I can't wait to try it.. You make it look very easy but I'm sure it's harder than I think

They were used in the NAvy for tying to bowlines. The old Bosun knew how to tie one but he showed me a Turks head instead. Its a part of the old NAvy that is gone.

Thank you for making this video so easy to understand. How long does this particular version take to make?

I wonder if this technique could make a hackey Sack? With soft center instead of Steel ball.

Pretty sure you could do that, you can always wrap a monkey's fist knot around a round hackey sack.

Hi dear. Congratulations for your chanel and for your projects, they are really lovely. I have a question, how could I do a band for holding my guitar when I play it? What would be the best knot? A conquistador knot for example? Perhaps it is an idea for a new video project. Thank you in advance for your kind attention sir. Greetings from Spain.

I remember when I was in the RN an Italian warship coming along side us used a metal monkeys fist, hitting the superstructure and nearly bashing someone in the head. We cut the line and threw obscenities' back at them.
