  • Which shaft?

    funny i have nearly the same problem..


    hy there,
    i decided to build my gun up with the ball cuter from neptonics5/16 which gives me a clearance of 0,5 which is abit less then the ball cuter 11/32 that Wood Guy used in his gun building thread.
    ithink it will also fit a 8mm dia. shaft..
    and it will fit for the 9/32 shaft as well..


    I will use the neptonics reef mech which allows both shafts
    BUT :overkill:


    i don t know which shaft will work better..damn
    so at the moment it looks like i m gonna buy both sizes and have a try.
    Somewhere i read that because of the higher mass a5/16 shaft is able to work with longer distance but tends therefor more to bend if shootn on rocks...
    Does one here think this is true?

    My profession is building VApipes, welding and stuff.. but the most of knifemaking i learned out of only two good books.
    But let me tell you some(with my tender 34years ) : It s not that hard to do, and i always had a lot of fun likewise with the learning of that technics and the exotic materials.
    I expect you to be a very creative builder since i love the gun building thread from urs and Wood Guy..which is actually affecting me very much.

    hy all,


    i m lothar,


    i tried spearing in corse the first time, and since that i was building a pole spear with ski sticks and epoxi.
    but because i ve got still some teakwood left , i can t get rid off the idea building my own gun. though that small euro gun i bought isn t bad for reef fishing, i d like to have one with accuracy and also one that gives me a new winter project.. because i m german and winter s cold:crazy:
    so this is basically how i found this forum... and i really love it.


    greetings,,
