Nice, I'm an ex Aussie navy Sig, we used to make these for our flag signals halyards but we'd weigh them down with some old nuts in the middle. Your demonstration is much simpler than I remember the buffer on a ship I was on doing for us. In the intervening years I'd forgotten how to do it, so thanks, my dogs will love you 😀

One of the clearest, most detailed explanations I've seen for making a monkey's fist knot. Most of the others lose me when their hands get in the way of what I'm supposed to be seeing or they assume I should know something I don't know. This one has none of that. I make small versions of these for Christmas tree ornaments.

Fabulous! I tied many of these back in my tugboating days because ship's crews often didn't return them when we were doing assists, or crewmembers left them on barges. I used my Ashley's for guidance but never felt that book, comprehensive as it is, was the best tutorial. Video helps a lot, but this fellow's low-key simplicity and hints are just perfect.

I tied this knot once in the drawstring of some blinds, and discovered something I feel I need to pass on. DO NOT tie this knot in something unless you intend to leave it. As hard as it is to tie, it is even harder to untie. I really sweated it until I had the damn thing undone! My mother would have killed me! You've been warned. ;-)

So I am doing this with a thin paracord, just to learn this stuff. The issue I m consistently having with the cordage that I am using is that it keeps getting twisted up on itself and forming loops inside the knots. Do you have any suggestions or tricks that will help avoid this in wrapped core ropes?
@WhyKnot9 жыл бұрын
Instead of putting the end of the rope through the knot and pulling until it is tight, try folding the rope over then push the folded section through the knot and pull on the loop until the end slips through.

You could make one using steel bolts, duck tape them together in a ball form, keep ductaping around it verry tightly until you have a smooth ball, its important to ductape tightly. Use youre brains, and household items to make a nice solid ball with old bolts/screws inside
