10 Minute Speargun Build

Building a speargun in my basement shop. This is the 6th gun I've built since I started a year ago.
I have a gun build tutorial going up here:
aoshunspearfis...
Most of what I've learned about building guns has come from the spearfishing forums on the internet where the masters of the art are kind enough to share what they've learned after years and years of working hard at perfecting their craft. The amount and quality of information being exchanged through forum posts is gold as far as I'm concerned. Much thanks to people like Phil Herrenan, Behslayer (Jon from Ulusub), Jason Tiller (Impaler) Woodguy, Pankrationist, and all the other home builders out there who freely share their knowledge. It also doesn't hurt to hear encouraging words via eMail from guys like Chris Chaput and Darryl Wong! Last but not least, If it hadn't been for the videos on You Tube by Gil Gacula (RIP) and Josh Gregory from Neptonics Systems I wouldn't have known where to start! Special thanks to Josh too for making the quality components for home and pro builders.

whoever the two people were that disliked this video obviously don't understand all the hard work and craftsman ship that went into this gun. great build looks freaken awesome.

[@davidhethorn8091]

+Ireland Darrie woaahhhhh heyy!!!! ahha whatsupp

[@r.m.boxing3438]

People probably dislike because it's not actually a 10-minute build more of a 2 hour build

[@cavemanjoe7972]

Also couldn't get past the shit music.

[@elijahnash3807]

I was tempted to dislike just because of the music

[@jasonanderson261]

funny thing is i saw this video way back and was like man this guy builds nice guns and has great attention to detail.... turn out i emailed you the other day about building me a gun but i just now put the 2 togetger..... really hope we can work something out woukd love to own a gun of yours..... keep on doing what you do brother.

[@rvierra7235]

Dude!! Very cool!! I have always used Billers bcz i love the wood. Never thought about making a gun though. Wish i had a precision table saw and router table. 👍👍

[@DeepBlueSpirit2]

The dream of most spearos - build your own speargun. Great video! Loved it!

[@mostebelkacc3631]

the work is amazing but the music is fucking anoying please less music

[@TMAdventuresT7]

Awesome job dude 🙌🏾

[@BuddhistFrog]

Did he seriously end the video without showing us the firing!!!!

[@seyfklc6514]

How dare you 😱

[@josuacrisb.quiles3897]

Why he cut it into pieces then assemble it back when it is ok to make whole?

[@DugiDevetCarabolium]

this is really great gun , you are pro! can you made one for me?

[@chuckpulsinelli8862]

i have one of deans guns and it is awesome.i plan on getting another one this year, a hybrid roller gun.he is also a freediving instructor and a great guy

[@driftwood4271]

I like your shop, you got everything you need to finish up a good gun, workmanship depends on what tools you had anyway, I am also making home made speargun with only Router, Table saw, Drills, Grinder and Compound miter saw in my shop, far from what I seen here I bet you spent so much money for those machines.

[@Crooks103]

This is my kind of woodworking. Your 6th model, I like that, you just kept at it developing skills and designs, nice. I was impressed just how much you got done with the router table. Excellent work mate.

[@sofswimNscuba]

Thank you very much!

[@CemalYurtkoru]

Bravo kardeşim. Türkiye den selamlar.

[@romsam4234]

Really great craftsmanship, I like how you integrated metal into the handle. LOVE the music! You killed it! (no pun intended)

[@nickaprea4632]

You're a Master Amongst Apprentices yourself, and quite an artist also, great shooting, wood working, and most of all, I bet you wrote and produced that song yourself. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN'T DO?

[@positiveyouth.2272]

loving the song whats he building in there

[@oconnaugh]

GREAT vid. You are a journeyman level woodworker my friend. The Tom Waits mashup is perfect.

[@andrewcoates5438]

Love your work. Love your workshop.

[@cemturhal]

Fantastic looking gun, well done!

[@LiquidEyeWHS]

very nice piece of art!!!

[@Mr.SquareSeed]

Nice work,nice build and nice speargun....👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤩🤩🤩

[@trumanspooner]

what the fuck is this music, its just a guy talking omfg

[@dopeededoolues729]

wtf is that song. whats he building in there?

[@stephencrothers6927]

Great vid! I'm about to embark on building a wooden gun, so that was a great illustration of the process. Perfect soundtrack to accompany the build!

[@JS-rp7qb]

Having built three boats with epoxy resin - two of which were wood hulls - epoxy alone isn’t great for laminating or bonding wood surfaces. You’d be much better off using either a wood flour thickener with the epoxy or even just regular Titebond III wood glue. Epoxy alone will delaminate. Too much absorption into the wood and nothing to prevent it or provide “tooth” except the thin mechanical bond provided by the epoxy.

[@patriciomaes352]

Great. Question: the wood has to be parked wood? I guess that's what you call it when it's outside for a long time? in spanish would be madera estacionada. Or varnish is enough? thank you! great video

[@dominikrestovic345]

hello, only one question haha maybe it sounds dumb but here it goes ---> does the speargun need to be build out of laminated wood , if so why , thanks for the answer in advance :) great work btw lots of respect

[@nathftn]

this is a great work ! I'd like to see a double sandow version with the handle closer to the butt !

[@dentonearnhardt9891]

Killer shop, great filming. Your tool quiver is limitless. Thanks for the cool video.

[@sasaivanovic3397]

fantastic video, great skills, and what a basement shop!!!!

[@TomasCiuka]

good job, man! What about floatness? Did you do some weight? The speargun looks a bit massive, i guess that floatness to much positive, isn't? What is dimensions?

[@maclucy846]

+Tomas Ciuka i have a 5 ft wood spear gun and it dosent bother me at all when i dive

[@robertanthonybermudez5545]

Yeah these really need to be massive. When you're spearfishing for a living or a serious open water jigger, these will help you fend off shark attacks, or sharks trying to steal your score. =)

[@easemailboxes]

Awesome soundtrack... and instructions also! thnx.

[@arnoldavila5962]

Dude you are a true blue water artist. Amazing !!

[@realbudgiesmugglertwohatsb2611]

Had no idea what dedication and attention to detail it took to make a masterpiece of a speargun... Nice work dude you Rock...

[@sofswimNscuba]

Thanks!

[@ernandes.4260]

Parabéns amigo muito lindo, vc poderia ajudar dizendo foi de madeira ideal tamanho, sou iniciante e tenho um mais vontade de fazer o meu mesmo,

[@lmnop20sharks]

Hi, if I make a wooden speargun wit 3 horizontal laminations would that be OK?

[@Yardie1682]

My head is now filled with sawdust

[@coveybaby]

Great craftsmanship! The gun looks amazing

[@asherencinas8821]

Sooooo rad! Wish I could build a gun custom fit for myself

[@pierregossuin813]

Superbe boulot, man!!!! Well done.

[@ioanbuz3374]

Nice work But the camera it s really far from the working point

[@tarekspearminsk5876]

have an Iroko wood bar... do I have to soak in it in teak oil for a day before working on it?

[@lmnop20sharks]

Hi, how do I install a trigger mechanism with puns like that?

[@LordLuminor]

Wonderful thing, you created. And cool music also.

[@Ben-mv7xb]

You did this so good. Great shop too

[@danielalcivar9206]

Q belleza de cuenta deja la madera ya cuando la va a trabajar

[@sucreygalgo8071]

I dont get it whats the reason for laminating big solid wood

[@isaacjuliogonzalez9342]

Hola esta mui bonito ese jugete cual es el costo

[@fishingholic1220]

10 minutes, that if u have a good tools man

[@ahmedsd9956]

But u Can't build one without gOod tools

[@Nickerian91]

Looks so easy when you have proper tools for the job. we do make alot of spearguns but most is done with a handdrill and angel grinder work well but im sure your is way more accurate. we do make the spear and trigger ourself tho

[@roguespearo6078]

Damn solid work man!

[@opihikaokid]

sweet Dean Awesome tune wicked nice wood work ....you Rock

[@HusseinMarey]

good job man

[@silentone3142]

Look like it's going to be very good thou

[@arra655]

wonderfull looking, just one question. What is the little Metal part at the front for ?

[@deanmccormick9384]

That’s a line guide. It’s used to help keep the shooting line in place at the muzzle which is used to hold the shaft down at the muzzle while the gun is loaded

[@woody5681]

Beautiful, nice video bro- what wood were you using there and laminating with? Lovely contrast!

[@davidkoba]

i was like that took way longer than 10 min to build. then i noticed the length of your video lol.

[@giannimagni5380]

Nice music, nice job👊💪💪✌️

[@patrickholcomb9628]

Bad-Ass brother!! very nice, and thank you sir for the video, very nice my friend!!! Very nice.

[@10rgv]

Outstanding bit of kit, how many man hours to build this stunner?

[@perrish7482]

did you use polyerthane to reduce friction in the barrel? im trying to make my own and I would like help

[@dmc7707]

+zєקђг - AGARIO By saying barrel do you mean the track that the shaft sits on? On this gun the track is just finished the same as the rest of the gun with epoxy. On some guns I make a poured epoxy track. On those guns a deep groove is routed along the length of the track and then filled with epoxy and a graphite additive. Once the epoxy cures the track for the spear is routed into the epoxy. You can also do an enclosed track with the prober router bit if you wanted to.

[@sofswimNscuba]

Not sure what you mean? This gun went on to be finished with epoxy which adds durability and makes it waterproof but doesn't reduce friction.

[@ozan2315]

I dont like speargun design but the way you work and video very nice. Thanks...

[@azkyall330]

when will your trigger mechanisms be back in stock ? Neptonics Reverse Mech

[@sofswimNscuba]

Hi. I have most of the Ermes mechanisms in stock at the moment. Neptonics Reef mechs are on order but I no longer stock the Reverse mech so you will have to buy directly from Neptonics

[@azkyall330]

@@sofswimNscuba it says they are all sold out...

[@raymondbailey1970]

I have just ordered plans off Ebay i got a workshop in my flat im gonna make a wooden gun for sure im using a SEAC at the moment but it would be nice to make an Ash gun.

[@dexterhard]

great craftmanship mate...

[@francescoesposito9765]

Meraviglioso

[@lmnop20sharks]

Hi, what are the benefits of having the handle so far up?

[@deanmccormick9384]

It’s what is referred to as a “midhandle” Makes the gun easier to swing / track especially when diving in areas with current. Some divers prefer them in low visibility situations as well because it would allow the use of a slightly longer gun as opposed to a rear handle.

[@fishhuntermate9687]

do you sell those

[@chrisbarraza7700]

Beautiful design

[@maamad1234]

Hello, I'm a fellow speargun builder I just do it for fun and I've been trying to figure out how you leave that indent for the bands? Please let me know it would be awesome if you

[@dmc7707]

I made a template and then I used a router with a 1/2" straight bit and a guide bushing to follow along the template

[@johnnysailiata]

10 minutes my ass

That is a spokeshave. It's got a similar type of blade like a handpland but you pull it towards you rather than pushing away. Nice shaping tool commonly used in chair making but can be used in many situations when you need a rounded profile.
