huntinglonewolf huntinglonewolf trapper Registered: 12/27/06 Posts: 1908 Loc: Wyoming	That looks nice TexA but this one is really handy and I can take it anywhere with me. 1/8" is what I make mine out of as you don't need 3/16" ones. All they do is make the trap a whole lot heavier. _________________________

TexA TexA trapper Registered: 12/24/06 Posts: 2079 Loc: Estherville, IA	Yeh, portability is nice but I make all my mods in my shop, not out in the field somewhere.... I like those hydralic-jack presses too. I'm going to have to make one myself..... _________________________ TexA Member Iowa Trappers Association National Trappers Association
