I ground in an os, than laminated it with 1/4 square stock, made a base plate and new chain. Wielded the cross frame, took the slop out of the dog eye and wielded it. Added some pan tention and night latched it. It is ready for any coyote that ever walked around my neck of the woods. This is the first DLS I have modded up and I am realy happy with the way it turnd out.
Looks good!
I can remember my brother asking me to laminate a pile of his footholds a couple years ago. He came up to the shop with a buck of traps and a box of short pieces of round stock for the laminates.
MAN!...that sucked! :doh2:
Ya I bet doing a whole bunch of them would get tiering, I realy like modding my own but I never have so many to do that I get sick of it :laf:
