How To Make a Paracord Monkeyfist Keychain
How To Make a Paracord Monkeyfist Keychain Video Clips. Duration : 9.98 Mins.
Most commonly asked questions: "Do I have to use a ballbearing?" -No. No you do not. Having a perfectly spherical object in the center makes for a better looking monkey's fist, as it allow for the paracord to have something to form around. In fact, it doesn't have to even be something spherical. It can be a roundish rock, a balled up piece of paper, or even a large fishing-line sinker. You can get marbles and "hobby balls" (no, not my balls, wooden balls used for small projects) at Hobby Lobby, Wal-Mart and other crafting stores. "Where can I find paracord/550 cord/that cord that you're using?" -You can find 550 paracord at most military surplus stores. Even some hunting stores will sale "550 paracord", but be careful. When shopping for 550 cord, it must be rated for 550 pounds and contain 7 inner strands of braided nylon. Paracord is 100% Nylon (with the exception of a few manufactures who replace one or two of the inner strands with Kevlar ones). I also recommend shopping at "thesupplycaptain", an online paracord seller who, in my opinion, makes the best quality paracord. "Would these make good self-defense keychains?" -No. The mass of the keys, usually, weigh more than the monkey's fist itself. Furthermore, if you're carrying many EDC object with you (such as a CountyComm Micro Pry Bar), then your keys would do much more damage than the actual monkey's fist. Regardless, neither the monkey's fist nor the keys make for a safe, controlled means of self-defense. I ...
