Great book for a beginner . kzread.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ this book really starts from the beginning, as in it explains what basic tools are and how to use them. But when it gets to the art of creating joints and how and when to use them this book really starts to teach you something. At least that was my experience.

Nice build for your first but all those band holes aren't needed even for band band placement. There's a bunch of different band sizes out there and and u can cut to length instead of band placement.

Looks good! Can ask why you cut the solid piece into strips and then laminated them together?

@CowDogCraftWorks

4 жыл бұрын

So the grain in that wood is pretty straight but even still I was scared that it could curve or warp over time which would ultimately affect the track and therefore performance. So by cutting into strips and doing a lamination I can arrange the strips in such a way that the opposing forces are constantly keeping it flat and therefore straight.

Looks nice, although it looks like you didn't make a line guide or a slot to wrap the line around at the muzzle. Even if you don't use the line to keep the spear in place, you still need those.

Hello, great video...thx One question: what is the reasoning behind using the penetrating epoxy first and then a standard 2:1 epoxy? Is the first not enough? is the penetrating epoxy also a mix with hardener? Did you sand between penetrating epoxy...standard epoxy and then the finish? Thx in advance and sorry for the 20 questions. Jason

@CowDogCraftWorks

2 жыл бұрын

Yeah so the penetrating epoxy is a ton thinner. It’ll travel the pores and grain direction to preserve it from the inside out and the 2:1 operates as a more substantial top coat. It is a two part mix with hardener. I did a very light scuff sand. Just some 220 to knock down any little bumpies.

Built one myself out of teak a couple of years ago using the same trigger mech. About the shortcomings, I would also say you've got far too many holes for the bands, unless you plan on spearing a whale? hahah all in all fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.

I am working on a speargun build and I have been hearing that I should also use 2 part epoxy for the glue lam. Why did you use regular wood glue (does it expand?) and should I use it or should I try 2 part epoxy?

@CowDogCraftWorks

3 жыл бұрын

Two part epoxy, titebond 3, or poly glue should all be good. I used titebond 2 because I used penetrating epoxy, 2:1 epoxy, and marine varnish over the top of it. Wasn’t really too concerned with the integrity of the glue being affected by water contact. If you’re going to leave the wood raw, like most folks do with teak go with what I suggested at the start of the comment.
