Thanks everyone. I enjoyed making this gun. My previous guns were cut entirely using a router table. This one, as you can see, involved a lot of freehand shaping. Learned a few things along the way. When time permits, I got a couple of new things I want to try next.

How many hours did you spend making it?

It felt like a life time, but I probably spent about 100 working hrs on it, not counting the cure time or the wait time. Each step requires a fair amount of prep work. The blank was made six months back. Let it sit for three months before squaring it up and cutting the track, then waited three more months before shaping it. The wait time was necessary to make sure the blank does not warp, and if it does I have a chance to correct it.

Now lets go fishing.

Long over due man. I was sanding like a mad man while you were catching monster trout at the Quarry. The build really ate up all my free time during the last few months. We'll go visit Clayman real soon


As Hamachijon would say,
Peace y'all

WOW... talk about craftsmanship. .. labor of love i guess. Then to hand it over to another...glad u captured it on video. 

Btw, i wanna tag along when u visit the Clayman next!

Peace & blessings!

I would like to place my spear gun order please lol. Master craftsman
