mine didnt work my paracor ended up just having a broken end you suck
Just because your paracord broke at the end doesn’t mean he sucks.
😇😇😇
Thank you! I'm making my dad one of these for his birthday and this video taught me how :D
@@errornoname4763 Paracord doesn't break, jerk. Just because you cut the paracord, doesn't mean this guys is terrible. Before you say "well you don't know that" I know just one string (with a knot of paracord of course) can hold up to eight hundred pounds. I know, I tested it.
As a complete beginner this knot looked particularly intimidating for some reason. Thanks to this tutorial I got it first try and looking great!
Instruction unclear, I accidentally tied my self to the ceiling.
hahahahahah!
🤣🤣🤣
how
Haha
Same... This is so confusing
Used my laces on my old hiking boots and it came out great! Thank you 😊
Reminder: if your having trouble change the playback speed! Just a helpful tip everyone!
I put the video speed super slow
Instructions not clear. I sped it up even faster and now I’m even more lost.
"you can always tell how many more you need by counting" truly inspired words sir
I pride myself on being a wordsmith...
I tightened and loosened the same string about 20 times! I felt mentally deficient but finally did it. It is harder than you made it look lol I think I will make a mark with a sharpie on the next one so I know where I started.
I've been there before too! But yes, marking the starting point will help a lot.
i found out that the start is the first bit of rope you go under when going backards from the end is the beginning
if it makes sense
bkmash41 ya its way harder than he makes it look
The Weavers of Eternity Paracord Tutorials what kind of knife do you use is the video?
Wow
I made some before using crown knots as the core. It worked really well, I was able to pull them super tight, and they were nice and round. I wanted one to be bigger, so I tied one crown inside another, and that worked out great.
Am I the only one whose watching this so they can make a volleyball keychain
yes
Well i was thinking of that
Forget the marble. Just use a bowling ball.
Kmarr1015 Yes
Kmarr1015 that’s why I was watching it too I seen it on Pinterest but the instructions on Pinterest were unclear
You made it look so easy and not very complicated! This is the best video I have seen to show someone how to make a Monkeys Fist! Thank you so much!
You could use this little knot as the core for a larger one.
That’s exactly what I did
Exactly what I'm doing :D
This is great. I've seen these used as pass though anchors for tarp tie downs to great effect. Never really knew how to tie one until now. This is one that once you see it made you can easily remember it. Thanks for sharing!
I started searching tutorials on this and attempting to learn this knot while hypoxic from COVID-19. Not one of my better decisions. I finally came upon this and after many tries
lol Screw the string, thats a good knife!
true!
Lumpyumpy omg yea i want thw knife
lol i was gonna say the same thing
Clorox Bleach oh buddy only if you knew what you where undermining for a spyderco
Lumpyumpy 😉😉😉😋
I started with a Celtic button knot and got a really nice, even-looking monkey's fist. The overhand knot is quicker and less fidgety, but if you've got the time and the extra length of paracord I think using a Celtic button gets you a much prettier monkey's fist.
Hey man just wanted to thank you! I made my fist monkey knot after watching this video, and I have been doing this kinda stuff since it was called macrame! Lol for anyone reading this I used a pipe cleaner with a little hook to mark the start it was easy to pull out and left no trace!! Thanks again brother!!
Two things:
1) Tim, I've perused just about every channel offering paracord bracelet tutorials, and yours are the best, by FAR. Thank you for putting the time, energy, and effort into making these videos. I think I may speak for everyone when I say that.
2) If you don't have a steel ball bearing available, don't want to fork out the dough for 'em, or what-not, but DO feel like running to Walmart and/or the Dollar Store, you can use polymer clay, and a marble if you like, to make the center bead. I took a small marble from a bag I had lying around (bought at the dollar store), and some scrap Sculpey Bake Shop clay ($1/2oz. @ Walmart in the crafting section ;) ), and made my own 'ball bearing'. It might not be as heavy as a steel ball, but it's got a really good weight to it, and works perfectly for the center of a monkey's fist.
... Just my two cents (OBviously, LOL ).

Great instructions,i got it right first time,and I'm a complete novice.Thanks !
To make finding the starting point easier, just tie contrasting thread about 1" below the knot. Snip it off when done.
Lyn Fitz why not use silver sharpie and place a little dot on the cord that you know you will tuck under when finished tightening and no snipping needed!
This is where it finally clicked for me! I have seen a bunch of tutorials and I could not get it right. That is until I got to this one! I was on attempt at least 20 lol! Thank you so much!!! I have finally succeeded!!!
Thanks for the tutorial! I did it once and then used that end product as a base for a second layer and just added a fourth pass. It turned out pretty good if I do say so myself and it's a decent size.
What A Great Idea! Thanks I Think I'll Try That 🤘👍😜
just tried this ended up rolling my cord into a ball and lighting it on fire instead
Yep me too
Its never long enuf....
said the actress to the vicar
ROFL I guess that's one way XD
Shiiii
You sir just made my DIY cat tree a bit more fun for my midlife crisis cat.
You made one of the toughest knot simple...👌👌👌
Thanks! I’m gonna use this for boating. I’ll attach the monkey fist-ended paracord to my mooring line so it’ll be easier to toss. I saw sailors do that from ship to dock.
Thank you! fyi I'm making 7 of these to use as closures(instead of buttons) for a crochet cardigan I'm making for my daughter. I hope that makes your day because it sure made mine!
Hi
@@umerumer-xl1oy Hi
Thank you for the instructional videos, they help greatly. No better bargain than a stocked mental toolbox.
Got it the first time through! Excellent instructions. I used a small 100lb tow rope. I had to adjust a bit for the larger cord but it turned out great!! Exactly what I wanted. Thanks for sharing the instructions!!!
Thanks, we had a big fellow on our ship in '72 who could throw one with a line attached and hit another ship while underway.
Can't wait to make this smaller version myself!!
"I wanted to have it on my channel just for...... whats the word?"
Money. The word is money
Great tutorial. I used a stopper knot instead of the overhand. It used less cord and was simpler. Also, marking just above the knot with a sharpie made it really easy to find which line to tighten first.
Made it on the 3rd attemnt , took a while..... kinda hard to find the starting point at the end when u start to tighten it back up!
Awesome!

I don't know who you are or what this channel is. But thank you for this one video. I took the video and re recorded the voice over and handed it in as my outdoors course project. A real god send.
I have seen many monkey fist tutorials but none of them worked. But yours made it very easy for me I got it on my first try keep it up. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks! You made it look so easy but I kept on ending with one side missing a loop and some of cords were not sitting flat & I had a large loop that I couldn't get rid of. Was hilarious! I think the mistake was that I wasn't sure where I started so might have started pulling the wrong cord. But won't give up 😂😂
Perfect video. Clear and direct. Doing a Monkey's Fist without any ball is what I always wanted.
"How to make a Monkey's Fist"
Amateur show the the real Monkey Fist.
"How to make a monkey's fist with No Marble"
I said the REAL Monkey's Fist.
"How to make a Monkey's Fist with a Monkey's Fist"
Perfection.
One of the best, easiest and mu favourite tutorial on UA-cam!! Thanks a lott!
i've always wondered how were this little ball of string were made. Today i discovered they are called monkey fist and i could make one thanks to your tutorial. Thank you so much, i got it first try :D
I cried from this
THIS IS TO HARD
Stop. Breathe in. Breathe out. Start again, but slowly. Adjus video speed and pause when necessary. It takes some manual dexterity but it's not too hard. Don't give up!
Thank you. i can listen to your voice all day ;)
I love this tutorial the start was a little bit hard but i maked it thank you so much!!!
If anyone is just getting started with begleri flipping this knot is great for a beginner to practice without getting their knuckles bashed by heavier weight ends.
i do this for my cats :)
hehe ja your cats are now lethal
hehe ja i hit my cats whit it
I do it for my birbs
omg same 😄😆
Your cats can now injure you in your sleep if you don’t feed them.
Glad to find your video. I learn this with an all-black cord btw. Took me half an hour to figure out which cord to pull on the tightening phase. patience is the key.
Love this video I taught an 8th grader who has bin trying to learn the monkeys fist for a year and three months, and I learned it in two try's.
I watched a bunch of monkey fist tutorial, this one is the most clear one! Well done!
I love the original monkey's fist, but this version without the marble/ball bearing simply makes for a much better lanyard. (In my opinion)
👍😂😂🤣😆Something went horribly wrong. I’m all in knots and now my foot is attached to my neck and I can only use my left hand. ☺️😆😂🤣 The comments cracked me up sooooo I thought I’d add my own bit of humor while trying to do this monkey knot.....😂😆🤣💞
Instructions were so unclear, I accidentally tied an actual monkey to a tree.
Thank you. I just bought a jacket with frog closure. This was the button and now I can make these "buttons".
This uses up a LOT of string, but I may be wrong after a first half failed attempt. Should have told us at the start to make not where the starting point is.
Also my string is has alresy2some knots on it etc which made things more difficult with the weaving part.
I watched a video on how to make a paracord ball a different way and I got so stressed and I saw your video and its super easy for me and I'm 11
You’re 14 now...are you a paracord pro?
@@radish6691 I respect your dedication and no I'm not sadly. BUT I am a semi-full time streamer
Can't believe there are so many "thumbs downs". ..... HATERS!!
Wrap a piece of thread around the starting point. When done with the knot and the tightening pull out the thread.
I usually put a diamond knot paracord "ball" in the center which is almost perfectly round. Both one- and two-strand diamond knot works where two strand gets slightly bigger.
For my core I tie a single strand diamond knot, then tie the moneys fist around that. Its the perfect size for a 3 strand monkeys fist and its nice and round so it makes a great core.
The monkey’s fist knot was use by early sailors to help get the heaving line( a small cordage line) to the dock hand so they could pull the heavy lines used to secure the ship. They used cotton cord for the heaving line and there was an agreement that the knot would not be waited for safety of the dock hands. The sailors would beat the knot until is was real absorb water making it heavier. It is said they could stretch over 100 feet of line with it. I thought you
would like to know!
They originally used a bit heavier line a few hundred years ago, so it would have more weight, especially when wet. Paracord is a bit more decorative.
Dude I gotta say this has to be one of the best tutorials out here because I just made one and it came out better than I expected. Just trying to say thank you and good work. 👍🏼
Do you have a tutorial on how to make this into a Keychain? I only watch your tutorial videos on anything paracord. I understand your tutorials way better than others!
I decided to give it a try and made a perfect kitten toy! Thanks😊
Great, easy to follow video ... boy, I was worried I started cinching at the wrong spot, but I got it. Thanks!
Very great job on your tutorial. It was super easy to complete and I am very pleased with how this mini monkeys fist came out. I am using it to attach to my car key. Thank you
I got it right the first time. Well done!
Im left handed so I had to make the whole thing in mirror, but I did it with not a really thick string but I made it and it's cool
Great video. Before you cut off that little tail in the beginning you could have brought it to the top under that small loop. It would help with the round shape of the center knot
Good idea!
Just tried it and it worked. Thank you! :-)
When you said that this technique is for people who don't have a marble just laying around, it made me think, "What if I don't have any paracord just laying around?"
Hi, a single strand diamond knot is a perfect core in size and shape.
Great video - Would love to know where I can find a knife like the one you're using in this video. Cheers!
Dude! Seriously an excellent video, and you can go four and five around, but your vid was completely clear. I can make these things in four minutes, now! Thanks a million!!!
You're welcome Thomas!
next fist fight gonna be lit 🔥🔥🔥
This can be a deadly weapon.
VERY WELL EXPLAINED.THANK YOU.
I've never tried this and probably won't because I no longer live aboard nor cruise. but the big prob with retrieving dropped keys is that keys are not made of magnetic material so if you drop your key ring, you get to dive for them. I finally made a lanyard with a cork net float seized into the bitter end. You still can't see the keys, but the float extends the lanyard high enough to be seen or snagged. The net float isn't the saltiest looking thing in the world but your tutorial gives me the idea of using a ping pong ball instead of the steel ball bearing for the core. The ball would give enough floatation to stretch out the lanyard and give the droppee a chance to recover his keys without diving into the muck and slime of a marina.
That's a great idea! I'd love to try the ping pong ball idea to make a set of keys that won't sink. I'll have to do some testing. Thanks for sharing that with me!

Great idea!
Nice tutorial, before this i'm just make takraw ball keychain, maybe after this, make volleyball keychain
Quick tip peeps: If you ever messed up using the wrong strand to work on all the excess, DONT WORRY. Go backwards using the working end of the rope/paracord and you'll be fine, it requires high patience though. The result is you will be brought back to the wrong strand that you did.
Great tip! That's definitely something you learn after a bit of trial and error!
Thanks for the great tutorial too! The first try took me around 5 hours when I was kinda new to knotting :/
Nice and easy. Thanks
THANKS!! always wanted to learn and your video makes it easy!!
I tried doing this with leather which was probably my undoing.. lol ill try again with paracord. Amazing tutorial though.. super easy to follow and broken down well.
1:30 to skip to the lesson.
Wonderful, finally got it with this tutorial
i am doing paracord at a very young age and its hard to find a video or channel that explains things good but u do soo thx soo much.
You're welcome Jayden, glad I could help you!
I hate you
Francisco Gonzalez wow thats mature.
Overhand knot is also called a "reef knot".
Mine turned out perfect BUT I had to set the video at .25% so I could keep up 😁 GREAT TUTORIAL!
The tying is easy, but how about a better view on tightening each cord?
when you finish the knot, you can use it as your ''marble'' and repeat to make a giant one
I've often thought of tying a monkey's fist in a monkey's fist and so on! Just have never got around to it. Perhaps it'll make a good video one day. 😁
way more simpler than i thought thanks man
Great weaving Tim. I like it..😎👍
Thanks! Mine came out great. Will be using to toss rope end across rv roof when setting up sun shade
for those without a lighter/ability to burn cut ends I found Crazy Glue works fine- just let it dry and you're good to go
Film starts at 1:37 seconds
Thank you for such a easy to understand video. helped me alot.
Your videos must be good, I watched this video once and went off and made one. Cheers👍
Thank you. I have tried three times and I learned! 🎉
A while back I found another tutorial for a monkey fist around a tied/knotted Paracord instead of a marble or ball bearing. The center knot that tutorial began with was different than the overhand knot. But it turned out great also - it's been a year or two and I don't know the name of the knot we used for the center. But just wanted to let you know there's another slightly different but same concept version on UA-cam that works well also..
I fid it with an overhand knot and it worked quite well. Then, i used the finished monkey fist as a marble to make a bigger one. Awesome result.
Thank you for posting this, I'm new to paracord and this was a success.
I watched another guys video & was cussing him out 1/4 of the way thru it. This is way easier. We used to make these & welcome mats out of tow boat rope.
Really worked it was hard for me I tried for more than 10 days and finally made it
Good on you!
Thanks man keep making more parachord things and people will love ya
I like whiping it around in my room
THATS THE FIRST THING I DID
great video got it on the first try. yes finding the starting point can be tricky.
