In my latest woodworking project, I thought I'd get ahead of fishing season and make myself some epic fishing tools. The hook on the wooden gaff is made out of 3/8" marine grade stainless steel and the gaff handle and bonker are made out of left over Sapele wood from my rocking chair project build.

I love the detail you put into every project! It shows a genuine love for your craft. I wish more people would approach their crafts like you approach yours.
Like the way you whipped the end with adhesive under the string. Good thinking. Thanks for the content as always - your channel rules. Been watching since the beginning.
Another great project video by The Samurai Carpenter.
Nicely made cool.
If I were a fish I’d be proud to gaffes and bonked by these. Beautiful tools!
Hey, you don’t have to be a fish to try it. LoL
Great video ,thanks
I was starting to get worried your channel had died. Glad to see you are still posting.
Holy cow, he can talk. Awesome!
Fantastic work, dude! It really looks amazing! 😃
Great fishing!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Good job
Hope to see a video of them in action!
That fish bonker looks like Jon Peters workshop mallet he’s used for years. Looks like a fish fry is in the cards.
Irmão, tu é bom nisso! Meu sonho é ser um carpinteiro tão bom quanto você!
U said.. Bonker..
I like your Apple drill press.....i have an apple fridge 😆👍
Bueno normalmente me gustan tus proyectos , a la mayoría les doy un like , si no me gusta simplemente no lo valoro , pero nunca 👎, no comento normalmente porque no veo casi ningún comentario en español , pero hoy me animé porque donde vivo yo , tenemos el mejor marisco y el mejor pulpo (POLVO) del mundo , tus herramientas están bien se parecen un poco a las de aquí , que normalmente es un mango recto y cilíndrico de 60 cm ,con un gancho de un metro de largo y entre 6 y 8 m/m de diámetro ,en acero inoxidable ,el encavado es como el suyo pero con alambre de acero inoxidable ,un saludo cordial y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón, Galicia (España)
Nice! when's the Makers Mob fishing trip! : )

Both of your items need a wrist lanyard.
Probably a good idea
In the UK we call it a "priest".
I was just about to say....
Which delivers the last rites!
In RSA as well!
Or colloquially known in some parts as a 'Youllbe' ..... as in ....... 'you will be f'd when I hit you with this'
In OZ it's called a donger !
Sweet work as usual Jesse. Just wondering, what are your day to day full time jobs like?
Use low speed and high pressure. When drilling steel. And some thicker cutting oil.
Nice, I must have missed what type of fishing do you enjoy?
Hey, I've seen this one before!
by chance do you take orders for your fish clubber?? thanks
“I was gonna bonk him”
“Bonk?!”
This isn't to criticize or anything - great job - but you can improve it just by adding some of those little square plugs to it. A 1cm square plug with that little diamond shape filed into it, stuck out 3mm or so is ideal for bonking the fish on the head - plus 4 of them around the top end of it would look good too. The last thing you want is to have to bonk them twice, right? The quicker and cleaner the better. Well, when you get right down to it a little plug like that will get in and squish the brain much better than a flat plane and that's how you kill them quick and painless. The little plug gets right in between the back of the eyes and kills them dead in an instant - as humane as you can get.
I'm worried how big the fish are in Canada if that's the size of tools you need !!
Lovely build just for future info your fish 'bonker' is more correctly known as a 'Priest'......TTFN
Wait. Is it really called a bonker?
Cuz when I first took my wife fishing and said the club was called a bonker, I was just making it up.
No lol
No.
It’s a priest.
Is that what they use to club baby seals and dolphins with? Looks like it would be nice to get those bodies in the trunk of my car.
Bonking fish?
can you do some more blacksmithing or try some bladesmithing
1st baby. Wait , maybe I should get off the PC and get to work.
Oof, sepeele may not have been a good choice. Im under the impression it's really hard to fully seal any variety of mahogany.
Did you consider adding a brass weight to the end of the fish bonker? Seems that would make it a little easier to use and more effective?
BONK

Я давно смотрю за Вашей работой! Вы классный специалист, но такой выпендрежник)
In Australia we call The Fish bonkers "UB's" = Ub Fucked if you get hit with it.
I can hear it now....Oh my god!!!! You beat a poor little fish with a big stick and you poke him with a steel rod!!!!!!
Bonker? I hardly know her
Lol bonker it's called a priest as it administers the last rights to the fish
Bonker huh? Didn't knew you were a Bionicle fan ;p
Fish Bonker ?
Because after you use it the fish is F*****.:)
Bonker? I thought it was called a priest?
naw
Your shop is disgustingly dust-free, for a woodworking workshop. Wouldn't have anything to do with some big fans, would it?
fishy
Thats not the way to catch fish
Fishing tools hmmm
Looks like your going to be clubbing baby seals not fish!!!
Why would I want to club the fish? You can just spill a shot of cheap vodka on its gills and kill it instantly. A lot less messy, too.
Good tip, what fish have you used this on?
all fake!
How nice!!!! (sarcastic). That is it. Not subscribing anymore.
Good man!
Nice! Tool for murder, woodwork should be working with nature, not making tools of death. Boo samurai, thought you were better than than, should of known really!
Hey dean, do you eat meat?
You realise murder is an unlawful killing... its perfectly legal to kill a fish.
@@TheMeta6 I agree but I think he means morally and not legaly
I'm not sure moral murder is a thing
The bonker would make an excellent spurtle
