Hi doyenofcastle
If you drill a wood speargun for the roller axle the weak point is right behind the axle. The pressure on the axle will apply a force which could split the timber I suggest a small stainless bolt with washers perpendicular to and behind the axle to prevent splitting. I personally prefer to weld stub axles either side of a stainless tube slipped over the end of the gun ( like the one in my avatar) good luck with your build.
