SMOGGY 34 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Just wondering if anyone has pics of home made equipment they use ? heres my lamp made up of a motorbike headlamp, a switch/lead off a old electric blanket, a motor bike battery, and a small ruck sack from tesco the lamp and lead are over twenty years old, when i use to go out with my old man he use to carry a car battery on his back, but i opt for the lighter motorbike battery. total cost £23, last for about 3-4hrs at a time with a 4-500m beam i know it doesnt quite look as goods as the proffessional kits but it does the job for me Quote Link to post

abley 0 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 I haven't got pics, but my cousin I shoot with made a Pidgeon Magnet using the wiper motor from a Nova that I wrote off. It runs off a car battery and is heavy to cart about, but once its set up it works a treat. Quote Link to post

Rolfe 2 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 could someone show me a pic of a peg they made for a fenn or similar.Im not having much luck getting them to attach to the chain Cut a hazel peg about 10 inches long slightly smaller in dia than the ring on the chain. slip the ring over the peg and hammer in a fence staple to hold it in place. Sharpen the other end and the jobs done.......simple. Rolfe. Quote Link to post
