Nice ones Brian. That handle on the short one is one of my favorites!! Beautiful wood.

Haha...at least I got people to start posting photos of the fish with the guns too! After taking a closer look, your fish might be just a little larger than Mike N's.

Re: Speargun Beauty Contest

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but this is my favorite of the few I've done so far mostly because I played with some different approaches. It has a hollow enclosed track carbon fiber barrel that I made using the lost wax process, a mortised aluminum handle frame with Shapelock grip, spring resetting line release, and a Delrin muzzle.

Re: Speargun Beauty Contest

I remember following that thread for a bit Tin Man. Awesome gun. The one you did for the winner of the FRA raffle was pretty sick too and that Wahoo Toothpick (think that's what you called it) was simply badass.

Thanks. But the Wahoo Toothpick was all Chad (Griswold).

Ah. My mistake, sorry bout that. Both rad guns though. Wish I had the skills to build guns like you do. Hopefully one day I'll have the skill to build something half as cool as some of the stuff you've made.

Re: Speargun Beauty Contest

Gil Gacula Euro-Hybrid is amazing. I am obsessed with this gun. He was going to have one made for me a few years ago until he had to close shop. I hope he get's his shop going again someday. I'm waiting for his return like people are waiting for Jesus to come back. He is an amazing craftsmen..
If anyone has one for sale let me know

I also miss Steves Mojo's
