Default Gun Building 101

I wanted to start a thread that pulled together all of the knowledge and expertise that this forum has to offer so I searched through all of the speargun posts and came up with this list of threads that will make a great starting point for any first time builder and even some more experienced guys. There are a few threads that are missing that will be added and if you think there is something I missed feel free to PM me and Ill gladly add it.
