Glued up an experimental laminate blank today out of a bunch of particleboard I had laying around and some Gorilla glue. Overdid the glue a bit and the laminate ended up looking like a stack of melted ice cream sandwiches................lol........Scraped the glue off and will glue up the top rail tomorrow and try and figure out a handle.......Just looking to get a roughed out shape for future builds. I may make my own spears if I can figure out how to cut the notches properly or come up with a way to produce a sharkfin like design which is what I would prefer. I can make my own bands and bridles without too much trouble but I have decided not to try and make my own trigger.......Don't want to risk my safety or my dive partners until I get better at metal fabrication. Been spending a lot of time on the site doing "research" and peicing together my own designs based on parts of other that I like. Need to figure out a way to put a spear tether together as well............The local tackle shop has 300# power pro in bright yellow and pink which would be Ideal for the line......I think.
I should probably play it smart and just get a JBL D-6 and call it good but I love to tinker.
