Use aluminium tubing (about 10cm or less but not too much less) that is slightly wider than your rope.
Squash and drill through one end of the tube then drill 2 more holes for screws along the unflattened section, push your rope down the tube and screw into place.
Round off the flattened edge and conect a short chain and handles

and voila rope poi

When I first glanced at that I thought it said horse clamps, I was wondering what they were, sounded painful!

This is how I did it.

Some metal tubing that the rope can fit into snugly.
Covered the rope in PVA glue, shoved it in there and squished that end down in a vice.
Drilled a hole through the tubing and rope and attached a small nut and bolt.

The PVA in there holds the rope together above the bolt, and along with being crushed inside the tubing - it'll take alot to get the rope back out again.

The other side of the tube was again squished flat in the vice, and I then drilled a hole in it where you can attach a handle
