smooth 0 #26 October 24, 2004 I agree that making a monkey fist knot is time consuming!! Haven't tried making one larger than 3 or 4 turns yet. When I broke my ankle the paramedics cut my shoelace so I tried making one with that. Kind of a keepsake. The one you made looks cool! Oh, and to answer the question: my deployment handle is a piece of PVC pipe. It came with the pilotchute...originally ROL that I had converted to BOC. I'm considering going to something different though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had to rig up a frame with cardboard and knitting needles to keep it organized while tying the knot, and then took them out to work it. Working it was the toughest part. The main thing about that particular one (in the pic) is that it's the first one I made that has two colors. Two faces are green, and four are blue. Other rigs I've jumped (rentals) were usually with PVC handles. My rig came with a hackey, but I jumped that only a few times before I made the Monkey's Fist that's on there now and had it installed. -Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...
