Pimp my Speargun handle! Best grip for DIY wood & carbon
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 02. 2021
- A little bit of a different video but hopefully you find it interesting. Having a good grip on your handle is essential for confidently taking a shot and accuracy. Note, this method is not suitable for plastic handles that a lot of spearguns come with. If you end up using this technique on your DIY speargun project please tag me in your photos, I'd love to see them.

Could you show us some of the spearguns you made?? would be nice
Yeah that would be lekker, or a tutorial on a day speargun build...
This would be nice 😊
Yesss!!
Thats nice
Yeah that would be nice to see a Daniel Mann built speargun.....🤙🏽
Liked the video before I even watched it, knew it was going to be a good one
Quite the crafty fella you are. Very simple task and great instructions.
You should do a video on how you make your carbon or Timber speargons
I wish I could but I don't have my workshop anymore.
@@DanielMann oh man I was gonna ask for the exact same thing do you have a blog or another content creator maybe that you could recommend that inspired your designs maybe ?
I have some old posts on spearboard about how I made them if you search for a user Nanna Arms.
@@DanielMann Perfect im going to look this up thanks mate!
@@DanielMann thanks
love that you are using these guns by underpressure. Have three of them myself
*Tricks for working with epoxy resin:*
I filled my resin into soft squishy bottles from Aliexpress like they are used for dispensing ketchup. It works great to accurately fill out the correct weight of resin into my mixing cup.
I mix the resin slowly to avoid bubbles when it is important.
When I use brushes I wash them in ethanol afterwards.
If not crucial for a perfectly clear resin I use the mixing cups several times and mix fresh resin simply on top of already cured resin. That way in the bottom of the mixing cup I get a nice layered piece of all the resin colours I have used in the past.
The spearyoutuber that made me better at spearfishing and in all stuff in spearfishing❤
Thanks for making videos and entertaining us threw quarantine
Hey thanks Daniel nice to see another vid from you. Can’t wait till you do some more spearfishing.
Me too 😂
a sure dream that a lot of us have tried or want to try making our own wooden speargun and it would be great if we had a couple of new videos to watch .
i love your videos and just keep going like that
Would love to see a speargun build video! I was in the UK for two years and never even considered it might be awesome to freedive. Turns out I was so wrong. Keep up the great content!
Thanks mate, it's quite fun diving here. Especially the lack of sharks.
@@DanielMann Oh yeah, in florida we get a bit of everything. Its never a dull moment at the very least.
Thank you Daniel
Very cool thanks for the info. Never thought about that before. Making the grip better that can be used for many applications.
you already know this is gonna be a banger
I love resin
I used to strip old restaurant tables and refinish with resin then sand them with 400grit to a super soft matt finish.
Thanks for the tip Daniel
I do love the look of matte epoxy.
Excellent video. Now lets build a carbon gun together
Can you do a video on how to make a diy spear gun start to finish!? Would be interested in giving it a try
I wish I could but I don't have my workshop anymore.
Love to see a video of how you went about making your carbon guns
Could you do a video on ideal speargun size and maybe speargun line length and how to set up a reel or something as I’m hoping do some Spearfishing later this summer but not sure how to set up my gun
Nice job!
You could also use polyurethane adhesive sealant. Works quite well but it is not a permanent solution.
Doesn’t end up being that clear I have found.
Another great video mate. I’ve used another technique for creating texture in epoxy finishes: paint the epoxy on, then sprinkle with granulated sugar. Once the epoxy has set wash the surface with water to dissolve the sugar crystals and leave a grippy surface. Cheers.
I’ve done the same thing on timber guns with ebony veneer handles so you can still see the timber. Works fantastic 🙌
Thursday just went 📈!! Such a great and educating video :) thanks!
Another way to add non slip to areas which I find is good, and very nice on the eye.
Mask off the area you want to make non slip. Mix some resin, epoxy or polyurethane is fine. Paint the area, then sprinkle normal sugar onto the wet resin, cover it in sugar well and allow to dry. Once resin has cured, rinse off the sugar, it will dissolve and leave a lovely grippy surface.
I used to do this on my wooden handled guns about 15 years ago. Worked great when I made the handles out of ebony so you could still see the grain and colour.
nice speargun, like this video brother
Awesome video 👍👍👌💪💪
Very good to know and I’d second that, it would be nice to see / learn more about your speargun builds.
Haven't missed any of your videos Daniel Mann hope someday those spearguns could be in my hand for some shooting action cheers
Nice job on your work....Cheers from USA...Thumbs Up...BIG THUMBS UP!!!!
A good tutorial, great Daniel
very good job!
Following you with love from libya 🇱🇾
Nice video. If possible make a video of how to make the handle for the carbon speargun.
this one is a must do! Thanks fo sharing this... Your D MANN!
i hope you could make a video making those carbon spearguns
so cool.. nice job idol
Yo you are the best CZcamsr
More vids like this pls
Could you please make a compilation of the spear guns you have build? Maybe telling us some tricks how to do it, what you have learned. Maybe also showing how you did the trigger mechanism.
I always buy the trigger mechanisms, too much risk making it yourself when there are so many great and safe mechanisms on the market.
@@DanielMann this is what I expected. And it is a good decision. Could you give me a name of what mechanism worked well for you?
Meandros L are amazing. I have heard good things about the Ermes double roller mechs but I’ve not used one myself.
@@DanielMann thanks a lot! Have a nice weekend :)
Can't wait till you are out of lock down making videos again
Nice DiY idea! probably my c4 will get a handle upgrade :)
Thank you for sharing this with us.
This is very helpful..nice mod Daniel.!
Glad it was helpful!
Would Love to see a full gun build video
Haha weird, was just checking your channel earlier today.
cracking vid!
Dream speargun 💕
Would be good to see the guns you made and your experiences on making them
Please make video of how to clean/maintenance old rusted (not used for 2 years) speargun...
excellent job and explanation 🤙
Great tutorial,
When I had time to make spearguns I used sugar on epoxy on timber guns, after epoxy cures wash off the sugar to leave a nice soft but grippy finish
Different approach for similar results
I’ve also used that method a few times on guns with ebony handles so you can still see the beautiful wood.
Thanks for the advice
Like always very informative and cool vides thanks.
Hey Dan, was wondering if you could do like a DIY speargun video for beginner spear fishermen
Can you show us how to make a carbon fiber speargun. Love spearfishing and have made my own timber spearguns, although I am only 13 years old would love to upgrade to carbon fiber and if you could show us that would be great!!!!!
Gave it a thumbs up and i also subscribed. 😂 keep at it mate. 👌🏼
Great job 👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼
Amazing spearguns you made specialy the carbon one would love to know how you did that! Should you ever be back in Malta for holliday let me know!
Aahh yes a new vid, nothing like the Mann after a 4 year breakup:)
Hi Daniel
Could you make a video where you build a speargun?
I would really like to build my self one and was wondering how
Cheers! (Beautiful videos btw keep up the amazing work)
Try a salt or pepper shaker to apply sand
Good tip!
Usefull footage ! Thanks a lot for sharing :-)
Glad you enjoyed it
Plss show us how’d you make the speargun
Nice vid mate!
Please tell us you are going on into the gun building business!!?
Those things look amazing!
Definitely not! So much labour that goes into them it’s not worth it for me or they would have to be super expensive.
Looks great and sure it works well. Have you heard of X-line paint? Ultra tough and grippy. Almost looks like the black sand finish you have done. Have a look. Think you would need to send gun away to have it done but it would be pretty neat.
Please make a video about building a gun! That would be really cool!
Is there a commercially made handle you’d recommend? Eg Meandros Leader B28 Speargun Handle?
I'm building my first speargun.. a railgun style with a carbon tube. The outer diameter of the carbon tube is larger than the muzzle and handle outer diameter where they meet... leaving a shelf of carbon barrel. What would you do? Sand down the barrel? ... or.... Build up the muzzle and handle around their socketed fittings?
No need to do anything if the track of the carbon barrel lines up with the muzzle and handle heights. You may want to slightly chamfer the barrel edge at either end perhaps.
So great video Daniel ! How many spearguns you have ? Amazing !
Thanks Marco, I only own 5 spearguns at the moment. Two I have made myself.
Try underwater fishing, thatvwould be a cool twist!
now I want to see how you built a your carbon guns
Can you make tutorial about this in kind handmade spear gun
What about putting the sand into the resin mix and painting it on?
Could try that too if you wanted but it might not be as grippy.
Aye 😭😂 just saw one of your vids and I'm already a fan, I've always wanted to spear fish but I'm only 13 sooo.....
I was waiting for the beard man 🧔
Check out Raptor Liner mate - same result but a hell of a lot easier...
Looks like a good product
Really interesting video! Where could you find one of your guns for sale?
Can u do a how to make a homemade speargun vid. Thanks legend
Unfortunately I don't have my workshop anymore.
Hi Dan the man . I have been watching a lot of your videos of late as I am going to start on my spearo journey.
I have been collecting all the items I think I need and I am ready to hit the waves soon as the lock down ends
I am looking for video on how to connect gun to float and stringer to the float just
Just little things like that I am not confident on
Kind regards Jamie Cooke
thanks for the video
you mentioned that you had build your own carbon fibre spear guns a quick video about how you do that would be really helpful as there is not many videos on it at the moment and it is hard to find guides etc ...
also do you build your own trigger mechanisms or do you buy them or hand make them.
It wouldn’t be a quick video! Takes a lot of time and effort and I haven’t made one in about 9 years. I always buy the mechanism, don’t want to compromise on safety.
@@DanielMann Thanks for the reply one last question; did you do all of the shaping before you put resin on it and made a complex former/mould-- im asuming this is what you did and if so what did you use to make the bit you wrapped the carbon around it if you can remember like was it foam or wood or something you could easily take out. thanks
I made the core from foam and other composite bits and then vacuumed the glass and carbon over the top. You can do it with a wooden core but the shapes are more limited than with foam.
Hi I'm from Israel i like the video you have doing
I want if you have video of haw make carbon spaergun or were i can bay one
Thank you
You are invited spearfishing in lsrael
Does the sand wear out the rubber on your gloves? What about spikey rubber or plastic pistol grips?
Not really, I wear out the gloves from scratching rocks on the bottom attracting fish.
nice vid
How do you make/shape a carbon fiber gun? Are they pure CF or are you wrapping/sleeving a wood gun?
I’ve done the wooden core method with carbon on top and more recent guns are entirely composite with a foam core. Not just CF either, need some glass in there to add mass to the gun.
Sweet thanks
Top
Is that a speargun that you made?
Not the one demonstrated but all the ones in the photos at the start.
Will you do a video on your next gun build?
Unfortunately I don’t have my workshop anymore.
Hello.., I'm from Philippines i always watching you speard fish and i love fishing too
bat can't afford speargun
can I get one of your old speargun.?
thank you..,
Any good fin recommendations ? (Not plastic) thanks!! Love your content
Love DiveRs personally.
Great Idea - Thanks! How do you maintain/repair wear and tear on your carbon guns? Could you use epoxy for that as well?
I find the wear and year on carbon guns is minimal compared to timber guns. I've had some of my carbon over timber guns in circulation for 7 years and they function as good as the day they were built. That's one of the main reasons I went to a composite speargun because of the lack of maintenance.
@@DanielMann Cheers Dan - I'm glad to hear. My UP-Tube gun should be shipped tomorrow. I think this will be the first mod I apply to my new gun :)
Beautyfull speargun,what brand they are?
underpressure spearguns
Hey man, I’m from uk, I’m 16 and I really wanna get into spearfishing, I’ve watched ur channel for years and Youngblood’s from Australia, was wondering if u could do a vid on good spearguns for beginners in uk?
Joe Pike has a great video on that very subject you might find helpful.
@@DanielMann thanks so much for the reply, ok I’ll look him up and check him out, if I get into spearfishing which I’m sure I will, I’ll start a channel aswell 😁
Real tidy job Daniel! How do you keep your carbon fibre looking so well? Mine has lost its shine and looks scruffy :(
They get roughed up with scratches after lots of use, I like it that way.
Pls come spherefishing in malta with me
👍
Good night, I am trying to install a trigger mechanism in a wooden speargun. When I install the mechanism and insert the shaft and pull on it it's slipping out. What could be the problem? It's the first one I made.
The trigger pocket may be too shallow to allow the sear to fully drop enough to engage the shaft.
@@DanielMann thanks, I looked at it this morning and the back of the mechanism is lower than the front. I have to make the adjustment👍
@@DanielMann good afternoon, I usedthe router to even the hight of the mechanism and it is still not working. We raised the back part of the mechanism and the shaft is locking. So I have to fill in the back with epoxy and see if it works. Would that be right to put the Bach higher than the front?
Can you show us how to make a speargun please!!!!
hope to have that for free 😅
how much?
Sir how much your spear gun and how to order
huwmoch?
