[Guest fresh]

Hi lads and lasses, i am just writing to say thanks , i have been trying to catch rabbits with snares on and off for a couple of months with no success, yesterday i saw an example photo by one of you guys and copied it as best i could and came up with this( shown after producing) anyway within 24 hrs i had snared my first ever bunny,also shown. thanks again.

Next time you make your tealer, make the eye (where the snare is attached) Horizontal , make it 2 and a half twists, instead of 1. like this,

 

 

and have your snare attached like that, the twist unturns and the knot gets pulled to the eye, which makes a swivel. Double knot for you brass,

 

(P.S) Dont take any notice of that snares, its a copper one i made when i didnt have brass. (its shit) lol

 

Good luck champ, im definatley no expert but ive watched the ass end out of woodgas DVD

 

And! before i forget, Dont spin your wire around the shaft like i have in my pic, I have just discovered as it unwinds it can get jammed. Twist it around the front of the shaft (and anti clockwize direction when looking at the tealer from above)

i think i need to make my own snares because they are to small once they have a knot in the end.

Good to see you have been successful.Mitch is spot on about making your tieler eye horizontal and then twist you snare one and a half turns around the tieler.Nice one Blando

its not bad, but from the eye of the tieler to that bend, wants to be a lot shorter,

 

The first tealers i made ages ago where shite, but you'll get the hang of it. How i create the eye of my tealer is i have a block of 2x2 wood, about 3 inch long. Drill a hole through it. a hooe big enough for the wire to slide in and out of with ease.

 

As close to the hole as possible without splitting the wood i have a hi-tensile 1mm nail knocked in.

 

When you have your wire striaghten it out, cut it to whatever length. Make a 90degree bend, about 3 inch. Slide it into the hole of the wood and then twiest the 3inch part around the nail 2.5 times to give you the eye.
