I am afraid words will be : pull, beat, push, cut, fire, stamp, ready.

There you go. BTW I wrote down maybe add a tack to the other side. That was just an afterthought I accidently typed in while whipping  this up really quick for you.

I love the instructions. Nice and beautifull. For the side hole did you drill it slightly larger than the center hole so that the knot would still fit in but not slip up through the center hole?

Hammer I use to put decorative nail over the knot, which secures the knot and covers the side hole.
After you burn the ends of the rope you stamp the fire with piece of small stick (you can use anything else that fits the side hole), then with a knife you take off all left offs.

My connection hole system is actually 3 holes of different diameters: The cord hole (center), hole for the cord protector (small black thing I put over the cord by the end) and side hole for the knot. All sizes are chosen to be exact as needed.

I put it only on one side. Don't like to make unnecessary holes in my nunchaku.

This might be a good method for freestyle. But I used to use this exact method for my chucks, and all of them have easily broken do to the burnt knot area being so weak during striking. have you had this problem?

Never. I can put my nunchaku over the bar and do pull-ups with them. If you use hard wood and paracord it is very secure connection. Of course, proper hole diameters is also important. Even statistically this type of connection is more secure than metal chain bearing which I broke myself many times.

 :2thumbsup: Thanks for the idea again though, I will try it again with paraline. (durrr) Last time I only used standard nylon cord.
