I bought one of AJ's stunt trap kits for two reasons, 1. I was curious to see what a CNC routered trap kit would look like and how it would go together and 2. I was thinking I would build it, do a tutorial and then auction the finished trap off with the proceeds going to Gilda's Club (our franchises GB charity)
So here goes!
Unpacked the contents of the box, here's what all the components look like
There are 20 pieces to this raw kit, if you are missing any components you will need to contact the kit supplier before you proceed. Additional parts needed to complete the base assembly are:
1. Suitable handle material (resin cast, wood dowel or PVC pipe) the choice on what to use is up to the buyer.I used a resin piece as thats what i had on hand. Dimensions: 3/4" diameter by 5.375" long
2. Blocks for mounting your wheel assembly, I cut two pieces of 1/2" square poplar wood to 2.25" long
You will want to drill and tap for the type of axles you will be using to mount your wheels
I drilled 7/32" holes and tapped for the 1/4" bolts I used as axles, you will need to drill/ tap accordingly.
You are going to need some basic tools to assemble your trap: Sandpaper (in various grits), drill and drill bits, assorted threaded taps, wood glue , clamps, squared edge file. These are for basic assembly, we will get into finishing later on.
Step 1:
Dry fit all of the parts BEFORE doing any glueing and clamping. you will want to ensure everthing fits together properly and do any needed sanding or filing now.
So here goes!
