There's always something to get done before next season rolls around. Great vid. When I made my beam a few years ago I used a flap disc to clean off and smooth out the edges. It did a pretty fine job. I don't like hand sanding if I can help it. LOL. Another one for cats and a wide ended one for beaver and you'll be ready for next year's trapping season.
Looks really good! I have been using a piece of PVC for a few years and I really like it. Should give you many years of good service. Good video Brother! Happy Easter
I like the PVC beams they don’t hold any grease. Great video I didn’t even think about using the Jigsaw to cut the PVC. I just used my grinder and had a heck of a mess.
Riiiight when you started grinding I started to cringe when your grinder got near your sweat shirt string. I’ve seen a grinder mess someone up due to not tucking them away, it was locked in the on position and kept winding up and sucked his sweater hood up and worked it’s way down his arm until it was finally unplugged. Scary I actually tie my strings together now in a way that still allows me to tighten up if needed just cause of situations like that. I use power tools daily. Safety first brother! Glad you noticed yours in dangers way almost immediately woosh made me relax 😂
The PVC is supposed to work really well for fleshing - can't wait to see how it works out for you. Can I ask where you got the cardboard templates from?
im having trouble finding bigger diameter pvc pipe to make 1 out of . i used 6 and 8 inches ,and they work real good. ill offer you 40 dollars for 1 if you make any more . just let me know the price. great video .
Judith I just got the 2” & 1 1/4 PCV pipe from the hardware store. If you’re having a hard time finding it I’d call a plumber to see if they had scarps from a job.
Awesome DIY beam project ! Thanks for sharing and the tips !

I wish I had a flap disc. Lol I’ll most likely make one for beaver this summer. Appreciate you following along and the comments Archerrwo. ✌🏻
Nice! I’m ordering myself a pipe now! Thanks for the video, friends!!
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. I am going to put this to use.
always happy to see a new video come up, thanks
Right on Philip 👍🏻 thanks for the support.
Nice job, I have been wanting to make one for a few years now. Guess I will give it a go before next season. Thanks for the video. Al
Thanks for watching Al. It wasn’t bad to make just one of those things a guy puts off. 👍🏻
Nice looking beam.
Very Nice Work, Excellent... Thank You...
👍🏻

Thanks CAMO👍🏻 Happy Easter
thanks for the tips! great space, kinda jealous.
The shop feels small some times when it gets full. Thanks for watching!

If its any consolation the jigsaw made a mess as well. Lol Then the grinder to touch up wasn’t that clean either. Thanks for watching Jason. 👍🏻
I love my pvc beams. I do a lot of otters and beavers. Even when i have to get at em hard the pvc takes it well.
Looks good bud. I think you’ll like it! Need one for beaver now! My const. teacher in high school was missing his thumb too. Lol! Have a good one!
Thanks Team I think it will work well. Thanks for the support. ✌🏻
I have a 30x40 pole barn filled with all kind of stuff. and the trapping only takes up a small space I can't go anymore.
I’ve called everywhere I can’t find any pipe that wide
Usually a company that puts in town/city water and sewer lines has some kicking around.
Where did you get or who makes the cardboard templates you used to trace the shape of your PVC cutouts?
It was a NAFA forming board template kit I had bought years ago. Some trapping stores might have them. You could also use a smaller coyote stretcher.
Giv’em hell blake, without those ear muffs steam would be pouring out of his ears. 😂👍✌️❤️
He’s always on me. Lol
Blake isn’t the one that should be on ya. 😜

Looks great. You will have to do a video on how you mount it for use so I can steal that idea too...
Lol, I’m still figuring out the best setup for myself but I’ll share it when I do.
Real nice job on that board! Are you planning on making more? Thanks for the video!
I’m going to try this one out and might make a wide one for beaver. ✌🏻
The PVC is supposed to work really well for fleshing - can't wait to see how it works out for you. Can I ask where you got the cardboard templates from?
It’s a kit I bought from NAFA years ago. It has temples for all the furbearers.
i like my pvc beam, looks good. do you have a wolf pattern like those coyote and fox patterns
Yes sir I do. I have the complete set.
Northern Traplines and inlines was looking for a wolf board pattern
Maybe you did mention it but what diameter was that PVC pipe? Nice job and I think i'll make one. Later and be well.
I must have edited out the size... it was 14”
Thanks for watching 👍🏻 stay safe bud.

How were you able to get the cardboard templates
I bought a kit from a booth at one of our convention years ago.
@@NorthernTrapper oh right on ! I’ll definitely be there this year grabbing some
Hi mama northern trapper.👋
Kyute
Hi can you tell me the temples measurements for coyotes and coons fox I thank you
Try this link it should have the info you are after. furharvesters.com/pdf/boardzises-dim.pdf
I would suggest that you guys wear a mask next time, so you don't have to breath in that toxic PVC dust.
Lol smells like bum
