john b 38 Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 If any of you budding trap makers are interested, I have a spare copy of this book going for £12 all in - brand new copy. It's not one of your classic reference works, like Carnegie, but it's ideal if you're just itching to make stuff. Printed in a clear large format - each page 11 inches x 8 inches. 60 pages. Card covers. The subjects covered include: Lever action traps, foot hold traps, box traps of various designs, barrel traps, cage traps, fishing pole snares, basic snares, box snares and many others. Every page is full of large, clear illustrations (see examples pictures), each referencing the original source for the design. These illustrations are often supported with detail on triggers and mechanisms. For example the 'common box trap' shown with three different trigger variations. There is also an interesting section on bending wire to make wire cages, including a homemade wooden 'brake' to bend wire mesh in straight corners PM me if you're interested.

I've got a couple of names on my list who said they were interested but not yet paid and maybe a couple of extras copies spare - so if you want one or think I should have had your cash please PM me.
