total length 54"
lenght wooden part 33 1/4 "
lenght metal 20 3/4"
lenght of pineapple 5.5"
height of the spike 5"
width of the wooden shaft 1.575"
width of metal shaft 1"
lenght of metal spike 4 3/4"

am i far off?

Hi,
your measurements sound reasonable. I guess you got the overall length from the RR Gaffi and transcribed/calculated the other measurements from the Photo? I think you're on the right track. Thats the way i did mine and the appearance of the finished piece looks convincingly close compared to screen stills, even though i gave myself some freedom, e.g. shorter spike, less pointy pineapple points...
