Oh yea, that'll work....A "good" 6" or 8" bench vise will bend 1/8" flatstrap ok. The bench vise in the pic is too small. I only used it for the pic. A hydraulic jack also works real well with a stand built for it. Last edited by KYBOY; 02/01/08 12:46 AM. Deep in the heart of Appalachia....

To strengthen the base of the trap for 4 coiling and to get a straight line of anchoring from chain to trap. In short, it's beef's them up for tough critters.

DanlDon trapper D Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 220 Lorain Co., Ohio	I showed a toolmaker at work a baseplate and asked him about making a simple jig for pressing them with a hydraulic press. This is what I got. It will do different length baseplates by adjusting the stop screw. I only asked for simple! It only cost me a couple pops and coffee.
