The making of my 2nd Spear gun, a wooden roller gun made from Manhogany whihc has been burnt stained and expoyed. super excited to try this speargun out in the next few weeks!
I hope that wasn't PVA wood glue you used on the handle, it will fall apart after a bit of time under water. Also pouring molten lead into the speargun like that can split the wood. You can drill some holes in a separate piece of scrap wood to pour your lead into then transfer to speargun stock. Not trying to be nasty mate, good on you for having a go, you have good skills! Nice editing skills and video too!
Thanks for the comment the gule wasnt PVA and i also put 2 screws into the handle to hold it in place from above incase the glue fails. I tried pouring the lead into moulds on my last speargun I made and it didnt fit in the gun as flush as pourjng the lead into the gun. I totally get the point about the wood cracking tho 👍 think I was just luckly with it this time. Cheers 🌊
On the first speargun I made a plan. For this one I didn't really have a plan it kind of developed as I made it. Very happy with it but if I was to change one thing on it I would have used 16mm rubbers instead of 18mm. Cause 18mm is very much over kill. I am hoping to make afew spearguns for sale this summer as I really enjoy making them but can't justify making and keeping a 3rd gun 😂
Of course they would, custom spearguns would be a great offering. Are you on Facebook? There's a couple of spearfishing groups with plenty folk that would love these (Scottish West Coast Spearfishing and UK Spearfishing Buddies).
@@skyespearfishing would be an easy route to market, there's plenty spearos. That's all I really use FB for, spearfishing and kayak fishing. I'm fairly new to Spearfishing and have a Salvmar Hero. I would be keen to have a custom gun when I'm a little more experienced. It'll be good to see them in the flesh when I visit Skye again next year.
I got the parts from Diveinn and One Breath Diving for this gun my last gun i got the parts from subandcast/spearfishing store. Thanks for the support! 👍
@@skyespearfishing I'm interested but for me it's always the same problem I live in Morocco North west Africa where the customs fees are much higher of the product itself not mentioning the transportation cost
The lead is needed in order to make the gun balanced in the water. Without the lead the gun would float so much yhat you wouldnt be able to use it. Thanks for the comment 👍
@@blueocean5278 good question I have not used a carbon speargun before so can only compare metal to wood. If you get a wooden gun correctly weighted they feel like theres no weight to them at all in the water. Which I much perfer to metal spearguns. Plus I enjoy using a speargun which I made. 👍
Thanks again. I love ur speargun and i love to have one of those customized because it's unique, but im sure its expensive 😊. Merry Christmas by the way 🤶🎄🎅🎁☺️
@@blueocean5278 that gun cost me about £180 in parts. The roller muzzle was the about £80 if i made another I would use a cheaper roller set I think. Have a great Christmas!
@@skyespearfishing i have never like 18 mm bands. But having a roller without preload, you are missing out a lot of power. I am sure that a standard double banded gun would shoot with more speed.
@@aldogjipali2835 your right I prefer my double banded 16mm speargun tbh. Still trying to work out the best setup for my roller gun power vs accuracy etc.
@@skyespearfishing one way to calculate it would be for the bands to be anchored right at the back very close to the handle or reel. Then add the distance from the anchor point to the roller and from the roller to the furthest notch. And divide that by the prefered elongation. I would use something from 3 to 3.3. Sigalsub and Mares rubbers are are suited for those kind of extensions. If you use the sigalsub ones make sure you use the blue ones as those are the progressive ones. With this kind of setup the rubbers would be about 2/3 of the length of the gun and just to reach the rollers from the anchor point they would already be extended by about 30%. The force to load the gun would be the same as loading one double band by the same ratio.
@@aldogjipali2835 thank you for the advice I will definitely use that when I get new bands! I have brought progressive bands which I have recently put on my double banded gun I much prefer them. Still new much learning what works best 👍hopefully the fish will return to my water soon 🤞
I liked the way you used those rollers on the wood..something that I didnt know..I learnt something new 👍
Cheers It has worked well for me so far and I have been using it for a year now. 👍 🌊
Brilliant work mate!
Thank you!
Excellent gun. Love the vid, but would really like to see a talk through... set up, parts source and selection. Stay safe out there.
Thank you I will bear that in mind for the future. If you have any questions let me know and I will do my best to answer them. 👍
Sick bro!
Cheers 👍
Good work on this mate. Looking forward to next week's test 👍👍
Cheers mate I have been diving loads trying to get my first Sea Bass missed one last week. (Theres not many Bass this far North) 👍
Amazing! So talented!
Thank you glad you enjoyed the video! 👍
Very cool video and inspirational
Thank you glad you enjoyed it 👍
Brilliant work bro soo nice 👍
Cheers for the comment mate 👍

very nice
Thank you it has been doing well so far plenty of power and it is a enjoy to use!
👍👍🌹
That was so satisfying to watch mate. 🤯
Did you have a plan etc to follow ?

A work of art and nice wee side business for you! 👌🏼
Need to see if anyone would buy one first 😂👍

Sick! How many man hours did it take?
Would say about 8/10 hours i only had 2 days too use the work shop and get the gun finished. 👍👌
Already exited for next week. Where do you get all the parts?
I got the parts from Diveinn and One Breath Diving for this gun my last gun i got the parts from subandcast/spearfishing store.
Thanks for the support! 👍
Thanks
I would love to have one of the made spearguns.. Great job
Thank you I really had fun making this gun! Would consider making these guns to order if anyone was genuinely interested. 👍

@@amineboukarrou5747 thats ashame about the customs fees being so expensive. What kind of speargun do you use?
@@skyespearfishing for now my only speargun is an omer caymen 75 with double rubber and a regular spear
@@amineboukarrou5747 that a nice Gun what size of fish do you target with that?
Linda arma
Is meranti wood good for building an invert roller?
I would think so just need to make sure it is a good pice of wood you are using nice and straight 👌 🌊
nice spear mate! sorry for my ignorance, may I know whats the purpose of pouring lead on those holes? Hope to hear you response soon

Thanks for the info. Just wondering whats the comparison why some use carbon which is light while others wants to have a heavy speargun

What about the gun maneuver ?? Is it smooth ??
The gun moves well in the water it really powerful and gets the job done. 👍
The edits got me like 👁️👄👁️
Thanks i had alot of fun with this one ! 👍
Would the wood not just float?
4.48 Is were I pour lead into the gun so it is naturally buoyant. 👍
You should make a primitive survival video
Thats a great idea I will do that at some point. 👍👌
@@skyespearfishing sweet
From what I know the mvd roller head is not made for big preloads.
The preload on the gun is not very big and the gun works really well. When I replace the bands I will be using 16mm as 18mm is overkill.
👍💯

How you you make your trigger?
The trigger mechanism was shop brought. It's above my current skill level and tools to make trigger mechs
Which tools you used ?
Chisels, dremel, band saw, sander, hack saw, pillar drill and a drill.
Hope this helps the band saw and pillar drill are not essential tho. 👍
Quanto custa uma enviando pra o Brasil?
Thank you for comment but I don't sell them. Maybe one day 👍🤞
Thank!!
Ensina a fazer
Can you give me the blueprint details of your concept.
I wish I could but I don't have any as I worked off a plan in my head as I had a good idea of the style of gun I wanted to make. Sorry I can't help
hello friends make a speargun for me
Sorry I don't make them for sale yet just a hobby. Maybe one day I will make them professionally 🤔👍🤞💪
@@skyespearfishing I also have a hobby, can I ask for one speargun?
@@nasuririzal4324 sorry it takes to long to build them to be able to sell them it would be very expensive 😅
