Bob,
Another book I can recomend is " Firearms,Traps,& Tools of the Mountain
Men" by Carl P. Russell. ISBN0-8263-0465-6.
There's a long chapter on traps and trapping, well illustrated with many
different traps shown.

> Subject: [TheForge] forged leg hold trap
>
> I recently bought a leg hold trap at an auction to use as an example for
> forging a trap.I made one and it was a pretty neat forging exercise. You
> have to draw out and punch spring steel, rivet pieces, form the trigger
and
> get it all to fit and work as intended.
> Has anyone else forged a trap or know someone who does?
> Please note that I dont intend for the trap to be used, but the forging
> respects what smiths were called upon to do in the past. It should be of
> interest to rendezvousers(sp.?) or history buffs.
