  • Enclosed track speargun

    It was a fun project, and I'm glad that you're please with the end result. You'll have to let us all know it's benefits or shortcomings when you get a chance to pull the trigger a few times.


    I definately would like to see some rigged out pics!

  • Making a hinge pin? / cooler corners

    Unless you are trying to match another hinge on the hatch for cosmetic reasons, you don't need a protruding head on the pin at all.


    Cut a picece of stainless rod to the same length as the hinge. Hammer one end of the pin just a LITTLE BIT so that it is not round. When you smash it in one direction, it will bulge out in the other direction. I know that you have a pair of dial calipers, so you can check the width of the hammered rod against the ID of the hinge. When you have the end of your hinge pin hammered so that the max width is a few thousandths of an inch larger than the hinge ID, just tap it into place. The interference (press) fit of the pin end inside the last hinge segment will hold it securely in place.


    Alternatively, if the sections of your hinge are long, and your pin is relatively small diameter, you can just put a slight bend in the very end of the pin, instead of hammering it.


    This has the advantage of being perfectly clean, with no bent protruding ends, or clips sticking out to catch on gear or toes. And it's easy enough to tap back out from the other direction with a nail if you don't quite like the fit.

  • First Hybrid Build

    Quote from Bretto

    Tin Man & Wood Guy... I got the ball cutters in the mail today from SFS and I'm very happy with the quality of them! Bob is great to deal with and was very fast in making them and shipping them out, thanks heaps for you help guys and for putting me in touch with him.


    Glad you're happy with them. One other thing to keep in mind is that they can re-grind standard carbide tipped router bits into custom profiles as well. So if you ever needed a goofy size, like say a 1-3/16" ball cutter, then you could send them a 1-1/4" cutter and they could cut it to your specs cheaper than fabricating a whole new cutter from scratch.

    Quote from Dan

    I like that you're making a slim wood barrel, compared to other hybrids that I've seen.


    Why Dan? I was just thinking the opposite. I thought the advantage to a larger back section on a hybrid was that you could increase the mass of the gun, allowing for more band load, without compromising maneuverability.


    But Bretto has already built twice as many hybrids as I have <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

    He's not going to find many experienced freedivers in Pensacola. The guys on this forum ARE the the voice of experience.
