moxy 617 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Is a fly press not a little heavy handed for thin plate? Simple punch stamps used with hardwood work well. A touch of galfroid over the stamped area will stop corrosion but you will have to weather the trap for a while to rid the smell of solvent. A punch set of either numbers or letters only cost around a tenner a set. Drilling a series of holes into the plate in a pattern could be an option. But again you would need to treat to avoid rusting. Quote Link to post
heritage 202 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Stamping seems the way forward in trap I'd, cheap, simple yet effective Quote Link to post
PLEDGEY 496 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 a claymore or 2 would do the trick. failing that a pugi stick I use alarm mines. A long length of fishing line as a trip wire, that's conected to a spring loaded pin, that sets off a blank cartridge if it's tripped. If i have to leave one of the trucks in my field next to the house, with tools on it over night, it only takes 5 minutes to set a trip wire up around the truck. If some one sets it off it's just like a shot gun being fired. You'll hear it and the tea leaf wont hang around. I bought 10 from Henry Krank years ago. They are about £13 each now . Good on sheds too!. Quote Link to post
