ack ack trapper Registered: 03/09/08 Posts: 207 Loc: n.w. ohio	trust me, there was a reason i bent the spring to the angle shown to lesson the amount of pressure! these springs are way to strong in the orginal shape. yeah pretty much minkmaster. i just bent the ends of the spring so it was close to the holes for the "strap" and then bent them again to make them the same width as the tube. make sure you get the bend close the FIRST time. don't try to straighten them and bend again. without heat they will break. the "foot strap" #9 wire is bent into a u shape so it will slide freely threw the two 3/16 holes. don't make this a hard project. it is real easy to make one of these. i will try to get a better pick of the trigger this afternoon. it is basically a strap of metal with a hole big enough for a 20 penny nail threw the top and a notch cut in it about a half inch down. _________________________ 20' Treehugger

don Wolf don Wolf trapper Registered: 12/22/06 Posts: 2712 Loc: evansville Indiana age 62	Ack I am also a toolmaker. How much time did you have to spend on your trap? Do you think it would be feasable to set up stops on a mill and go into a small production on them. I would like a good closeup on your trigger also. your project looks to be quite easy. do you think the no 9 wire you have or I think you have, will work good to hold the coon foot in place? Do you think it will get out of shape fairly easy? The production I am talking about is not for selling the traps, it is for personal use. I done own 6 doz. grizz traps, but at the price of them, I won't put one just any place. a nice cheap copy would be nice.

Thats the ticket right there. you can make 100 of them for less than 2 doz grizz and if they get stolen your out $3. big wup. Plus if you make them ugly enough people will be hesitant to take them anyway. _________________________ Anything worth having is worth working for

minkmaster minkmaster trapper Registered: 11/04/07 Posts: 1484 Loc: Mt Erie, Illinois	Instead of the push-pull trigger, couldnt you just make a trigger like yours, and put a nock in the side? Just hook it on the side. Just might save a little work if anyone understands what Im talking about. Mink _________________________ -Lil' Grizz Anti- $\:D$

Vinke Vinke trapper Registered: 12/22/06 Posts: 1767 Loc: Pacific Northwest WA	Yes Daniel it does work.....It is basically a power snare made out of a 110....It the animal pulls against the earth anchor...he is pulling against the spring which is pulling against the foot snare...... _________________________ "We cannot solve problems using the same thinking that created them" http://www.wawildlife.com

Not often but enough.....You probably could drill two hole and do a wire loop like the real ones...But if I do that Hear, I have to pad the wire (under special trapping permit Laws) SSSssoooooo It is a non strangling type foot snare.... _________________________ "We cannot solve problems using the same thinking that created them" http://www.wawildlife.com

ack ack trapper Registered: 03/09/08 Posts: 207 Loc: n.w. ohio	making the trap doesn't take that much time. yeah you could speed the process up by doing multiples. where the time is in assy. just like the springs and foot strap. all of the ones i have made are custoum fit. i'm sure you could cut the time down to about a half hour apiece, no problem. i spent about 1 1/2 hours making this one which included stoping and taking those terrible pics. i painted it and took another pic. shows the idea of the push or pull trigger. really not much more work then another type. basically just the nail welded and the trigger turned 90 degrees. _________________________ 20' Treehugger

mathews4ever mathews4ever trapper Registered: 03/29/08 Posts: 303 Loc: North Branch, MN...20 years ol...	how far down is your trigger because I have been thinking about the push/pull trigger and it might cause some bad catches if its not down far enough. _________________________ Anything worth having is worth working for

Big Dave Big Dave trapper Registered: 07/16/07 Posts: 80 Loc: Darke County, Ohio	Had the wife stop at the local TSC for some springs. Suprise only ones within 100 miles are 50 miles away. Having them shipped and buying all they have. Like Don we intend to set up on a mill to make the parts for them.

TexA TexA trapper Registered: 12/24/06 Posts: 2079 Loc: Estherville, IA	You can get the springs from a JOHN DEERE Dealer too. Just tell them you want a double wound spring for a Model 327, 336, 346, 347 or 467 Round Baler. They have them on hand for $1.65 + 10-cents tax....yesterday.... I built my first one yesterday. It's a little different than above though. I used a piece of 2" wide x 1/8th-inch thick flat iron as the base. My trigger is a one-way job, Pull-Up model though. After it's all done, I'll put it on a piece of Channel Iron and spot-weld them together. _________________________ TexA Member Iowa Trappers Association National Trappers Association
