Trap Building - Primitive and Modern
Burt, Monro, Massey & Stromberg
Brand new copy
This is a fantastic little book for anyone keen to make their own traps, or just with an interest in trapping.
Printed in a clear large format - each page 11 inches x 8 inches.
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 are no detailed measurements, cutting lists or assembly instructions - just lots of clear illustrations of how different traps works.
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.
11 inches x 8 inches.
Card covers.
60 pages.
First published 1982 but no date on this copy.
