Oh I forgot, cut the rope with the fire, therefore it does not make a ball like end. When cutting with fire, pull the rope to make the ends sharp, then cut little bit, and round it with the fire.

The Monkey's Fist, tied around a rock or other heavy ball-shaped object, has been used historically as improvised melee weapon, called a Slungshot. Slungshots were outlawed in many jurisdictions in the United States including California, Oklahoma, and Michigan. Check with local law enforcement before carrying one around.

@@NoOne-fe3gc yes Portland Oregon is one of the leftist strongholds with antifa using all types of weapons without much legal action taken against them.
To minimize waste and determine how much paracord you need for a monkey's fist: [1] Divide the diameter (D) of the core by the diameter (d) of the flattened paracord (while paracord is basically round, it will flatten when cinched around the core). [2] Drop any fractions/remainders (this is the number of wraps you will make in one direction). [3] Multiply the result by 3 (wraps in all three directions). [4] Multiply this result by the diameter of the core and pi. RoundDown(D/d) × 3πD Note: this is just for the monkey's fist. You will need more paracord for the handle, lanyard, and stopper knot.
Thank you! Do you know how I would figure out how many wraps on a smaller item? I was thinking something much lighter and making something for Sons, small dog to play with. Not sure how to figure out how many wraps for smaller items though.
I know you explained that I listen to it again, but could you please do it down a little bit for a man with traumatic brain injury, I hate to word it like this, but tell me like I’m kind of stupid.
never, ever, ever say that...i support the police but but but....if ever arrested the correct answer to any question is..."I need to speak with my attorney before I can answer any questions..Sir"
"Whatever you impact it with is your choice." Hmm, although I hope a disclaimer is around somewhere sadly I think some people may be impacting themselves with it, and not by choice. Lol

Thanks so much for your easy to follow tutorial! I've only made a monkey fist once before, a small one, but decided to make a big one as a dog toy and it came out great! I don't have a jig, but just used some pencils and cardboard. The only thing that wasn't perfect was the two ends, one was waaaayyy longer than the other, but I'm still pretty happy with the result.
@Wize One Also should check the state laws in which you live for having said "impact tool" unless you're just gonna hide it at home. Some of these items can and can't be "open carry" in your car or person either. Be safe and check your government regulations where ever you live.
When I was in the Navy, late 80’s, the monkey’s fists were the heaving line knot of choice. The dimensions were around 4” x 4” and had a heavy piece of metal as a core. They were used as a weight to pass the messenger line to shore, which is tied to the heavier hawser, when tying up the vessel to a pier. The game that we played was to see if you could hit the sailers on the pier that were trying to catch the messenger line. I never saw anyone get hit but a few did have to jump out of the way!
My first one turned out kind of ruff. Hopefully the second will be better. I want to make one in red and green. A santa wacker. Pretend your asleep. Sneak up behind santa. Get ALL the toys! LOL
Dude thank you I made my first monkeys fist impact tool with your tutelage! I used a golf ball and I could not get the crown knotting. However I managed to tie I off and hide the terminations fairly well for my first try. You are right the cinching of the ball takes practice especially to get it even.

When I was a kid (16), in the Royal Australian Navy Cadets, we had a problem during a training trip to another city, where sailors were training. We had girls with us, and a couple of sailors got into their dorm one night. Nothing happened, thankfully, but we had a "Fire Watch" after that. Sitting in the stair wells, all night, using our skills to make the same as you have, with a solid lead weight in the end, an eye splice on the back, and the monkey fist all made from some hemp rope.

Good idea. Citizens need tools to defend themselves against the rioters that have bricks, pipes, hammers and wrenches. Not to mention the flammable liquid used to set people on fire.
Thank you so much for being so thorough. I still had to watch it a few times. Do you have one on making a small or medium because my son has a small dog and I’d like to make him a toy. Thank you so much for showing me
That's definitely only used as a weapon lol. It's essentially a flail. I don't see any practical purpose for this- but it's cool just the same. I'm gonna try this with my snooker ball!!! Thanks
I have actually used a monkey fist in an area where a hammer would not work as a demolition tool. There was not enough space to swing a conventional hammer but I was able to arc my monkey fist into the space to hit from the right direction to separate the boards enough to get my prybar in. Could I have cut them apart? Absolutely, but I would have lost about a foot of usable wood per board.
I love how this came out, but it seems the 2 paracords coming from the paw to your handle are a weak point. is there a way to braid it so four cord ends exit the paw?
I can see why those two points may seem like a weak point, but with it being 550 paracord, it's rated for much more weight than that pool ball and any combined centrifugal force it can generate. However, I think you can always try to pass one of the two running ends out to the same spot as the opposite one so that they exit the monkey's fist at the same point and weave it from there. (I hope that makes sense...lol)
550 is tough as nails but it is the outside sheathing that frays, long before inner strands will break. I have used 550 as boot laces for years, and the brass eyelets eventually fray the sheathing but I have never broke the laces in 20 yrs of use.
@@TheRoadhammer379 True that the sheathing will fray, but considering that your're comparing 550 as bootlaces to 550 for this monkey's fist, I don't think the 550 on the monkey's fist will fray like they would as bootlaces. Mainly because using paracord as bootlaces puts a lot of wear and tear on them, such as you mentioned with the brass eyelets and tying/untying everyday. So really, that would depend on how much actual use or wear you put on the monkey's fist.
tommy rocket Believe it or not, they actually sell 2 inch steel ball bearings on Amazon, which weigh 1.25 lbs (20 oz) each...... Which is far worse than a resin 8-ball. Which is only 5.5 oz.

Also illegal in the state of Connecticut. If you use a smaller ball, like say a marble or a ball bearing AND have it in your pocket... INSTANT FELONY. Concealed weapon... You go to prison ...so beware of how "cool" these are !

In the maritime world the monkey fist was once a standard knot used to make a weighted end on a messenger line so a sailor could throw a line to a dock or another ship close by. For obvious reasons as shown in this video it was deemed unsafe by industry standards to put a weight in the center of the knot and later the weighted knot was deemed illegal by the US Coast Guard. For safety reasons the monkey fist is no longer used is the maritime industry. Weaver's of eternity did a great job illustrating how to tie the monkey fist and others used to make his "impact tool"

A 4 or 5 pass version could definitely be done, it's the exact same process, just with less paracord and a smaller core.
In the maritime world the monkey fist was once a standard knot used to make a weighted end on a messenger line so a sailor could throw a line to a dock or another ship close by. For obvious reasons as shown in this video it was deemed unsafe by industry standards to put a weight in the center of the knot and later the weighted knot was deemed illegal by the US Coast Guard. For safety reasons the monkey fist is no longer used is the maritime industry. Weaver's of eternity did a great job illustrating how to tie the monkey fist and others used to make his "impact tool"
That's some interesting information James, thank you for sharing that!
