monkey fists completed. found a good tutorial on this site and used a wooden block as the centre with a screw in eye hook to attach chains. not too hard to make and saved a lot of money too.

I prefer so swing a little more weight, so I used an aluminum cylinder for the core, drilled and tapped, with a stainless eyebolt for attaching the chains. I also drilled and tapped for set screws to avoid embarrassing "fly-aways" if the bolts got too loose.

Yellow and blue make green.

This link is by FAR the best monkey fist tutorial I have found.... Look under tutorials to see pics, specific instructions, etc for a high-quality, long burning wick.
