@@jasonzheng1493Is it really, Jason?
BEST tutorial ever!!! The tightening part has always been where I met my downfall and u show the absolute best instruction for success!!! Thank u!!! ☺️🇺🇸
What length of rope did u use
I finally, FINALLY managed to make my first successful monkey fist note thanks to this tutorial!
Best Monkey Fist tutorial out there.
Great tutorial! Just made one with a spare bit of climbing cord.
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.
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 😀
Thank you for such a great detailed video. The fact that you didn’t go at break neck speed gives me hope that it will work when I try it!
The best Monkey’s fist I’ve ever seen. I really enjoy you’re tutorials .... more than any others actually. Thank you for your instruction.
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.
Love all your videos. Like the knots shown and the instructions are awesome! Thanks!
You have some TREMENDOUS PATIENCE my friend !!!
I made these while I was at a maritime academy. Wife asked if I could make one to use a door stopper and I said, "not a problem". Just as soon as I check out a refresher video. LOL. Well done on the vid! And, thank you!
Hey Delrvpilot! How would you use this to make a door stopper? Is it something you'd just drop on the floor? Or hang it from the doorknob? Something else??
Excellent tutorial!
Never tried complicated knots, and I succeeded first time 'round.
My puppy and I say thank you ^^
Great tutorial. Very easy to follow. Thanks.
Thank you!
TIP: The tightening may take several iterations; especially if you want to keep everything nicely organized. Super good explanation, thanks, worked on first try.
This is such a clear and easy to follow tutorial! Genuinely phenomenal!
I now have a monkey's paw and you have a new follower! Cheers!
Thank you for the clear tutorial! I am making dog toys for our new dog, and she will love one with a monkey's fist on the end!
Great videography and very detailed explanation on this knot. In the past when someone was trying to teach me this knot I’d get frustrated and just give up. I’m a lot older now and being in the scouts is all but a distant memory. I found your video and hoped for the best. Glad I did! That was definitely the best example of how to get this knot accomplished and added to the knot tying inventory. Thank you sir!
Thank you, the first clear demo I have seen in making this knot.
THAT was absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much! You have taken what I have considered to be an intimidating process and made it easy enough for me to follow. Also, you pointed out areas where one might go wrong so we will avoid that. I am so impressed and thankful for this video!!

Learning to tie amonkey fist has been something I’ve been putting off for a while. This video help me tie my first one
Thank you. This is the only instruction I've seen I know I can follow.
Good, clear instructions!
wow the best tutorial on youtube thank you very much!!
Thank you for a well detailed and a pace that was perfect and in laymen's terms of you are just starting out and learning . I have been through at least 20 + videos nothing compares to the way you prepared ,demonstrated and paced every move while explaining in detail why. In my opinion the best tutorial video on the monkey fist knot anywhere with dozens of tries and alot of hours i kept getting lost ,thanks again God bless and looking forward to another spectacular tutorial down the road.
This is the best guide I have ever seen
Omg I made it thanks to this video! Now my dog is happy af
6 years later and you're still helping people! I got it the second time trying but I suffered the frustration the first time of the loops getting mixed up and you're right when you say it's hard to get them back to normal again 😅😅 I just kept making it worse
Fantastic tutorial thanks. A friend made one for our new puppy but it’s huge!
So I just used you vid to teach myself how to make a smaller one.
Now do THE MONKEY
Excellent demonstration god bless u more and thank u for sharing.
This was AMAZING! Finally a monkey fist tutorial that has left me feeling confident and not confused. Thank you very much.
great tutorial i finally made this awesome knot
Great tutorial, easy for the kids to follow, thanks 🙂 probably about the only thing that particular Bunnings rope is useful for too 🤣
I need to get some more rope for this, would love to make a keychain with this. Thanks for posting!
I’ve been watching the wrong channel! Your way is heaps better and with a better accent. From Brisbane! 😄😄😄
Great for adding weight or momentum to the end of a rope that has to be thrown a distance e.g boat docking
thx this really helped
You are so easy to follow thanks
Thank you for sharing.
These make brilliant zipper pulls if made using thin rope
Narazie najlepszy przykład zrobienia bosmanki👍
Amazing! Thank you!
wish you included the loop at the other end! oh well, guess im due for another video search
Ever find that? Looking for it myself
@@Wolf-lx9xosame, I really wanna know what knot it is
Bravo! It worked!
I messed up. I didn't know what strand to tighten next, because i tugged it from the center and the next strand didn't move (so I wasn't able to locate it). I kept going forward and back, forward and back. So I had to file my nails later.
Great tutorial BTW. Very detailed
Thank you
thank will try it
i made keychains for graduates of my sailor's camp. they were delighted.
Awesome, Thanks so much for this ! :)
Imagine being the sort of person who would "dislike" this video.
What is the ideal rope length to begin with so there isn't too much to effectively work with ?
i would also like to know. trying to make a dog toy
Width of a palm is roughly 3.5 inches. A full wrap around roughly 7. Times 3 wraps is 21. Times 3 sets of that is 63. Tack on a little for the first overhand and the tail, id say ~75-80 inches
Plus I like that the knot's filling is the same material, attached.
Your knot tying videos are GREAT!!!! They show in detail the flow of the cord. Thank you so much for your tutorials!!!
Do they make a velcro version for beginners?
I get lost on the tightening part, I just keep going round and round with the same piece and never get to the end bit. So frustrating! So then I have to try and undo the whole thing! About a hundred times 😝 Fellow Aussie here :)
I don’t recommend overworking yourself all at once so just take breaks
I feel your pain. but I keep pulling the send knot back out.
I’ve got heaps of heavy lifting loop slings if you can figure out how to tie a ball with one of those you are a god amongst men. Cheers
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
I have one with a golf ball in and my sons has a large marble sized ball bearing
Good easy
That monkey fist noose is what I always have in my backpack as a weapon lol. But I made one as a rope toy for my dog too. And just made a pocket sized one for keys and stuff. I’m memorizing it now 😂 but I messed up on my last one so I’m still off by some. That’s why I came here.
helped alot
My tip: Mark the start point in case you want to tighten it more later.
HOW DO YOU TIE THE HANDLE????? I can’t find it anywhere!😩
Tyvm
I made one of these years ago when I was a deep sea diver. I had a chunk of lead the size of a golf ball in the center.
صلى الله عليه وسلم 🌴💚.
Will this work for four wraps
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. ;-)
What did you tie
dkerris do knot
Would be nice to know how long it needs to be
What's next, the Monkey knot? The poop loop? The double diamond knot?
awesome ! whats the size and length of line to start with for a rookie?
How do you make the knotted loop on this?
I also like how calming your voice.
@ WhyKnot is it possible to other types of rope instead of paracord?
Yes, you can do it with whatever sturdy string/rope
Sir I am dog toys supler contact me
All hail the Monkey Fist :)
I love your hands even more than your tutorials. : )
WoW!
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?
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.
Thanks for the reply.
My first money fist. I ended up with four strands on two sides and three on the rest. Considering I was using a 'pillow tube' instead of rope I think I did alright 😅.
How did you tie the handle in the cover photo?
Is this what the old time sailors used on dead eyes for standing rigging on old sail ships ?
what kind of rope is that?
How long should the rope be
how many paracord does it takes
What kind of rope did you use in this video? Thank you in advance
I think it's a Paracord
Can I do this with paracord rope?
Ya i did it a while ago but idk how long the paracord needs to be
Instructions unclear, ended up with monkey testicles.
😂😂
neic
It's a good tutorial I was disappointed it wasn't the same design as the one in the thumb nail
How long should the rope be starting out?
How do I make the handle like on the preview picture? What is it called?
How long is the rope when i first tried my rope was to short?
I guess the length depends also of the thickness. It make sense.
It's a good tutorial I was disappointed it wasn't the same design as the one in the thumb nail do
Concordo plenamente melhor das explicações para no de macaco
what type of rope do you use? and what is the width of the rope?
So we can understand well
how did you finish the knot in the thumbnail?? the loop finish??
Looks like a noose.
What is the finished knot called on the opposite end of the monkey fist knot (shown in yellow rope for the link to your instructions) ? I would love to learn how to make that.
Agreed. What is the other knot
