Title: How to restring your 3-string nunchaku (Neat - no knots)
Post by: dirtyroot on May 24, 2010, 09:21:44 PM

Hi, first post here. Lots of great info here but I couldn't find much info on how to restring a nunchaku with paracord, especially with 3 strings. Well, I reverse engineered a 3 string nunchaku I had bought and figured out how it goes. It was originally secured with glue but it seems to be holding up well enough as it is. Hope this helps some people out.


1. You''ll need about 4 feet of paracord, a lighter to stop the ends of the cord from fraying, and some long thin tool for shoving the cord where you need it.

2. Feed each end of the cord through the ends of the chuck, loop it around then back out the top.

3. Feed each end of cord through the end of the end chuck again but stop halfway round.

4. Wrap the ends around the cord inside the chuck about 4 times.

5. Cut the cord so you have about 1 inch sticking out, then shove it back up inside the top of the chuck.

6. Done

That's pretty much how I do mine (I usually add a drop of glue for insurance on the winding). Really good illustration. :thumb:

Welcome and agreed! neat, clean method for stringing. :thumb:

after you master the 3-string, try experimenting by adding another length or two!

Great job on the tut, do they happen to be woodalls?!

:welcome:

Glad some of you found this useful  :thumb:

No these aren't Woodalls, they're just some no-name graphites from playwell.co.uk. I'd like to get some Woodalls but the price.. man, I'd be too scared to use them it case they got bashed up.

Haha well they look good bro.  I know what you mean about the price but they are great chucks.  I felt the same way when I got my Woodalls, scared of messing em up, but they superbly made and are a blast to spin.  Save up and keep up the good work!
