Old speargun + block of oak + a drill =

[scarecrow]

I cleaned out underneath the stairs today and found an old speargun from my younger days.

Wow. stainless steel tube. Out with the hacksaw and took a piece about 30 cm out. Cleaned it up on the grinding wheel and polished it on the wire wheel. One clean tube.

Had a couple of pieces of oak blocks left from my trip to the cooperage. Got out my wood drilling bit and made a nice hole that the tube fits rather snugly into. Jammed the tube in.

And this is what I ended up with. Never had one before. Now I have.

Works like a trooper and the price was right.

Good thinkin Kiwi.

Scarecrow, You should have modified that thing to convert, then re-convert.
You could have had the best of both worlds.
You could have been the king of two domains.

Could have been a Maxwell Smart ah-la James Bond kind of appliance.

Likker Dicks would have been like,,,,,,,,,,,,,nothin here.

could have darn near built a chest of drawers with that block of oak. it won't break if you drop it, but you better move your toes. cob

i would have built you a parrot on trade for that spear gun! Deal is off.

Might be a nice use for the spear out of an old keg you pick up for a boiler or BOP.

How do you push it through the fish?

Don't have to.

They hear the merc in full cry and just faint from shear panic.

They float to the surface and I just scoop 'em up and throw 'em on ice.

HA!!!! Sure you're not fishing with dynamite? Not exactly sporting Still you could be fishing with music. I hear the fish will jump into your boat themselves if you play it loud enough, just to escape the noise. Sorry Barry, just joking
