    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🤣

    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!

    It never occurred to me to use this for self defense until I saw it in another video. I have several trees to take down and thought to use this on a short rope connected to a carabiner and then a longer rope to throw the end of the rope over a branch before tying the long rope off to an upper branch with a double dragon knot and then hooking to my truck for the pull. Today is the first time I saw either knot explained.

    Can't figure out why none of the paracord videos do not want to tell us what the minimum amount paracord is required for each task

    • @TheWeaversofEternity
      @TheWeaversofEternity  3 месяца назад +2

      I don't know about other channels, but for my videos, I almost always have the amounts of paracord used for each project, usually listed on screen within the first 30 seconds of the video. This particular video didn't have any measurements because the whole point of the video was to show you how to make a DIY jig with materials around the house. If you're looking for specific amounts needed for monkey's fists, I have a video about that here: ruclips.net/video/fRok5Y1LgqA/видео.html. I hope that helps!

    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! 👊

    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 😉

    • @DZNTZ
      @DZNTZ Год назад

      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!

    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
