TK409 Gaffi Club Tutorial Video

[Trooper TK409]

I recently made a new Gaffi club end out of a wooden candy bowl from AC Moore (Craft store). The spike was made by heating up a sheet of plastic with a heat gun, then poking a wood dowel down inside. After that I filled the inside with expanding foam, let harden, trimmed the extra, and hot-glued to wood bowl. You can find styrene sheets on ebay. Total cost about $15. Total work time, about 30mins.
Hope this helps.

Tools needed: Dremel, triangle-shaped file, Heat gun, X-acto knife.

Awesome work! How did you make the pattern on the wood bowl? Trace it out and just cut with the Dremel?

It was very unsophisticated. I just eyeballed it, drew it on with a pencil. The Dremel makes the lines appear straighter.

Very, very cool! I was, mostly, impressed by how you made spike, since I'm venturing into plastic shaping and will be buying a heatgun soon.

Thanks GK. I wasn't satisfied with all the "Hersheys Kiss candy jar" or funnel=spike solutions. The spike looks very different from those and then it hit me that it looks like when you poke your finger into a balloon. I couldn't believe it was that easy.
