Title: hmm any1 know how to make an Inuit harpoon??? Post by little on Dec 4th, 2010 at 7:04pm
You see I myself am an Inuit, Yup'ik from Alaska to be exact, hehe I dont even know how to make a harpoon, I can make other weapons and tools but the harpoon is a tough one for me, I dont have the materials that they use to make one, no ivory or any other good material to make a proper harpoon. Im thinking of making a toggling harpoon, though i dont have ivory, I think Ill go cheap and make the harpoon head made with hardwood with a steel blade on it, with a 12 inch foreshaft, and idk maybe a 5 foot main shaft. http://elfshotgallery.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-does-thule-harpoon-work.html
I want to make it a Thule type harpoon like the one in this site, I wonder how long the harpoon line is gonna be, anyone have any ideas??? :-? |

I don't know squat about harpoons, but that's a fascinating site, little! Elfshot goes into my favorites.
