Make it yourself???

No mate, i aquired one, as a gift,........(lucky, i think),...& then i commisioned, a very 'talented' lad, who works with wood,..too make me another (was expensive enough, though, for his time !),....this lads in his early, twenties,..& has worked with some, top 'wood carvers', 'turners', etc, from an early age....hes very good (with a workshop, with EVERYTHING you would need, for 'wood working', etc),........i do have a 'plastic' (gas pipe) one, which ive yet , too try ? (although, its documented, they work !)

I wouldnt have thought, beforehand,.. the moles would have readily, entered a plastic 'hollow cylinder',type trap, (in particular) so easily ?,.....but there, you go,...(its been proven),......these old style, ones, are ok, for the 'novelty' value,.....but for regular, commercial trapping,... im afraid, its hard too beat , your modern 'metal' type, of whatever preference. ? (for various reasons, i suppose ?)
