[QUOTE="JMF, post: 30188, member: 869"] I have been putting things together for next years snaring season and thought I would put this tutorial together to show how I build extension cables. I use an extension on every snare I set, sometimes 2 or 3 if needed to reach a tree to anchor too. The idea behind extensions is too give the animal (in this case a coyote) enough room to hit the end of the snare hard. This sets the lock tight and compresses the dispatch spring if one is being used. I build 8' extensions and 6' snares. The cable I use for extensions is cheaper than what I use for snares and extensions are reusable many times over. So lets get started, First, get a spool of cable. I order 3/32" 7x7 cable from F & T Fur Harvester Trading post. I use a milk crate and a round dowel of some sort as a dispenser. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]747._xfImport[/ATTACH] Then measure out 8', my completely organized and clean workbench is 8' long so it makes a good gauge. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]749._xfImport[/ATTACH] I use the cutter on my bench mounted swagger to cut the cable. If you plan on building any amount of extensions or snares these are well worth the hundred bucks. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]751._xfImport[/ATTACH] For closed loop ends I thread each end through a double ferrule and crimp the double ferrule with the swagger, first in the middle then each side. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]753._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]755._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]757._xfImport[/ATTACH] And it's done. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]759._xfImport[/ATTACH] I also make some with an adjustable loop on one end. These work better to tighten around trees or a rebar stake. One end is done the same as above and the other end uses a stop button. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]761._xfImport[/ATTACH] Only the stop button is crimped. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]763._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]765._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
