Maxwell
I bought 1 "williams" 12X12X36 live trap many years ago. Using it as a pattern I have made 20 - 12X12X36, 10 - 9X9X36, and 8 completely covered in traps from light weight sheetmetal and aluminium. This past week I just finished a new version a 6X6X26 for skunks, with a full 6 inch door opening, going to see if the old saying, that a skunk can't sprey if it can't lift it's tail works. All these are for my own use, but I have given a couple to some close friends.

Cage traps arent hard to make. One door styles are pretty sraight forward. Trigger is the hardest thing to figure but we just use a rod hooked over the pan edge and ran thru a washer to hold the door open. You can set it very light too.
