That's a hell of a mousetrap. Kudos. Go for the bigger size. I'll be waiting.

[@giftgiver]

Me too 😊

[@Riceball01]

The simplest way to make the holding areas larger is to get rid of the slopes, that will do a lot to increase the space in the holding areas. This s something that tank designers realized early on, while slopes hulls and turrets are great for adding extra armor protection without making the armor thicker and heavier, it comes at the cost of interior space. Since armor protection is not a concern with a mouse trap,. there's no reason to not make the ends of the holding areas have 90 degree angles.

[@MM-jf1me]

I wonder if the sloped sides are meant to allow for the trap to be placed in tighter spaces.

[@MM-jf1me]

@esrever gnireenigne What do you mean?

[@technoman9000]

I don't know, I think a plate steel version of this trap would be pretty nice. It would make it sink real fast too.

[@clark4041]

Fantastic woodworking skills Shawn!

[@jamiecapes2644]

He's a craftsman extraordinaire.

[@TNT003]

Im glad you got that. I was your back bidder at $1000 but im glad it was you over anyone else

[@akbychoice]

I’m thinking a trap like this on top of a bucket. More like a Ferris wheel design. Once they go in they can’t come out as it turns, they drop into a bucket.

[@lawr5764]

You should sell measured plans for any antiques that you duplicate.

[@Whoozerdaddy]

I'm not really a fan of your fishing and survival and other non-mousetrap content. However, I'm a huge fan of your replication of antique traps in order to preserve the old ones. Your woodworking is immaculate and it would be nice to see an episode of building one of the old traps, carpentry and all.

[@jesseherbert2585]

Well, given how precarious our power grid is (I'm a PhD in materials science who has followed the sun and our planet's magnetic shield closely) I for one GREATLY appreciate his survival trap information.

[@em1osmurf]

@@jesseherbert2585 on your side! i have a cousin did her PhD thesis on her work with the Shoemaker-Levy astrophysics team during the jupiter comet collision. she has everything stocked up and ready--"any day now, we're back to the 19th century." This is not bug-out nutjob stuff. she teaches university astro-physics classes and is very sensible.

[@Whoozerdaddy]

@@jesseherbert2585 Well my reply wasn't about *you,* Doc.

[@MM-jf1me]

​@@jesseherbert2585 That's nice. I agree with Whoozerdaddy -- I find this type of video much more engaging: I'm intrigued by human ingenuity and find mouse trap effectiveness, design, and history interesting and that's why I subscribed to Shawn's channel. While I don't begrudge Shawn for branching out and creating other types of content, I only watched one or two non-mousetrap related videos from this channel before ignoring them completely -- there are plenty of other channels that focus on or teach survival skills; I haven't yet found another mousetrap-related channel run by an expert of Shawn's caliber and I, too, would like to see more videos of Shawn recreating historical mousetraps from start to finish. tl;dr: I came for Mousetrap Mondays; I stay for Mousetrap Mondays.

[@deamonmist]

I would love to watch a follow up where you redesign this trap to be even more effective!

[@Satisfyingtoday]

You’ve trapped me with these videos!

[@TheSeriousCat]

W O W just an amazing result ! would gladly see a bigger version :) Great video as usual shawn

[@HARRUMPH-SAL]

I miss the “give’m a little flip” days.

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

Could probably make a similar thing, but one that attaches to the top of a bucket for much higher capacity

[@lawrence1md]

Nice replication! I can’t wait to see your build with the larger holding chambers

[@jdorffer]

Nice find, congrats on the new trap, amazing find.

[@vidard9863]

I suspect that a larger model would not actually work. the tight space is a significant part of why they cannot escape in my opinion.

[@volvo09]

That's a neat trap. I'm glad you didn't use the original and let it get more chewed.

[@tehkill3r]

A surprising amount of mice caught.

[@TheCarCrazyGuy]

You could wrap metal around the paddles to prevent them from chewing it up.

[@453421abcdefg12345]

It would be so easy to make the paddle entirely from Aluminium.

[@katiehettinger7857]

It would be a great design for use in the house, where you only have one or two mice.

[@jeangemmel7895]

Your videos are always so well informed and interesting Shawn, thank you for sharing all you know with us xx Jean from Scotland.

[@rgruenhaus]

Glue metal plates to the paddles so they will have a resistance to chewing.

[@katiehettinger7857]

The simplest answer is often the best. 😉👍💖

[@randomcomment3865]

@@katiehettinger7857 / Robert Greenhouse: Simplest answer - just make the paddles from metal.

[@stevejones9905]

Could you make a DIY KIT of some of these old traps? I think it would be fun to make.

[@patpierce4854]

I had the same idea!

[@colstace2560]

Good projects for school shop class or scout merit badges, are there still boy scouts ?

[@yoshtopia8046]

Let me know if anyone makes it!

[@Metalkitty33]

I really enjoy your channel Shawn . Great video .

[@cparks1000000]

Those mice be like, "Is there still room in there?"

[@snaggletooth14]

Great rebuild job from Shawn, a truly interesting man, and more great content. Good job!

[@tarmie7]

Awesome trap! I'd love to see the improved version, you suggested, in action. Mice are such great little critters.

[@BlessedBeTheFroot]

I love seeing you find and replicate these valuable antique traps. Much more interesting to me than your survival stuff. The work you put in to building these replicas is amazing - great stuff. I didn’t think this one would work either, so when the 4th mouse was stuffing himself in there I was LOLing.

[@ussxrequin]

He does survival stuff? I've seen cooking videos with his family. Those are cute.

[@simonrhee4143]

“This one doesn’t want to go!” *mouse:* hey! I’m on Mousetrap Mondays!

[@darlatidwell6255]

Great ingenuity needed to catch a tiny genius. Nice replica Shawn.👍.

[@Sunnyone942]

Love your work! Great video. You are an artist 🎉

[@42HitchHikers]

Also fun fact for your rats, the wheel isn’t only for exercise, it’s also a big source of enrichment and fun, wild mice, rats, shrews, and all types of rodents love to run on wheels, the experiments in the wild even showed that things like frogs, toads, and even slugs and snails where seen using the wheels. Animals just love running on wheels, not even for exercise, they just love doing it

[@dyates6380]

Great job Shawn. Wow. Impressive.

[@robstirling3173]

That looks to be very effective, how about making another with bigger storage chamber? Next....A rat size version??

[@geigertec5921]

Look at all the plump fuzzy mice! 🤗♥️

[@jeffreyyoung4104]

A tasty treat that can't be beat??

[@swimstud5151]

Awesome job recreating the old one!! Impressive!! It was funny to see them all stoved up when you let them go. lol

[@carypyke935]

Thank you Shawn..

[@stephenzimny3285]

Nice find!

[@PlaguevonKarma]

Would love to see a modernised version! Very cool design.

[@hin_hale]

That's a really cool trap. Simple yet it seems so effective. I would love to see how it works with those mods you talked about.

[@brenthaymon280]

Great video. I want you to make a larger version of this trap. 🐁

[@Par-Crom]

That would be very interesting to work a better design of this trap!

[@LuckyStone888]

That is a very interesting trap. it worked much better than expected.

[@user-of5zg1ww8k]

Nice rebuild! Hope you are able to do a larger one!

[@rickthelian2215]

I think you’ll need to make a larger version for mouse and rats.😊

[@HugoHugunin]

You sound like I do! It's pollen season in our neck of the woods! [ah-ah-ah-ah-CHOOOOO]

[@user-of5zg1ww8k]

Thank you for this work.

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

Thank you Shaun, for the interesting video of the 1800s mouse trap. It's a good design, yet, as you said, needing a bit more development.

[@REzado63]

Great carpnetry skills!

[@jesseherbert2585]

Excellent new test! Say, have you done a video recently ranking them? I saw a survival update and greatly appreciated it. I too have eaten rat to see how it was. In all honesty not too bad at all, and more than adequate should need arise.

[@marielg9143]

that is pretty cool you should make a giant oone for rats

[@user-ic5qk5ks2h]

Hi shawn, I think that mixing fetanyl and nuttela would be a great video it would effectively kill the mice

[@ronlevin2339]

I will love to buy a your replica

[@weedeater64]

Is there a spring to re-center the wheel or does it just depend on being balanced well? No matter how well balanced I can't see that working great over time without something to aid in resetting it.

[@alextruck120]

3:10 flip

[@anthonywilliams454]

Do you have a video of your antique trap collection?

[@deshaefromarounthawayricha7324]

my mom had cought a BIG rat this like 5 this morning boo ut happy rat trap Monday!

[@onedayagogo]

much much bigger holding chambers needed i reckon

[@tedh7543]

Double its scale or triple its scale. I'd love to see this.

[@stewartfooter3580]

Great trap

[@ChadWSmith]

Please do make a larger version out of metal and see how many you catch.

[@ExtremeBeatlesArchive]

You be a master craftsman.

[@violakrone8429]

Cool trap 👍

[@SaycoRa]

Good work Crawdaddy.

[@russellhltn1396]

Even the catching part seems too small. But if mice have a desire to squeeze into small spaces, it might help it work.

[@fanplant]

That would make a great 3D print. I wonder if there's an STL out there

[@qpalzmsk1986]

Nice replica !

[@q127238]

Shawn, how far do you travel to release the deer mice into the wild

[@terencedarby587]

Put some wood finish on it so that it will have a nice shine to it.

[@heatherweir8726]

Would a larger version catch rats?

[@jamescromer550]

That is one cool trap.

[@Argumedies]

For some strange reason my brain registered it as 1984

[@Kevinacharles]

I guess those mice knew James adopts some mice and we're hoping to be rehomed, hence why they weren't too keen to make their getaway.

[@rustynail9007]

Not bad. Pretty ingenious idea for the time

[@richardbittley6028]

How do you get rid of voles? Holes all over the lawn.

[@chox2001]

The trap could drop mice into a bucket instead of stacking them in a tube

[@daveco1270]

You should make the modern version of that trap.

[@jamiecapes2644]

You're famous for giving the good life to a lot of mice and that's the reason they don't run away. You're like a mouse whisperer.

[@DannyboyProductions0]

Idk why this interest me but I’ve been a fan for years

[@meetcarter]

Keep it up ❤

[@shadetreemechanicracing22]

I think I'll try making one.

[@technoman9000]

Why's it so small? Were mice just smaller back in 1894?

[@katiehettinger7857]

That was my thought too. 😉👍🕊

[@cockneyse]

Wonder if a bigger version would catch rats?

[@Muladeseis]

Americans were smaller then too hahaha. The amount of food trash they make today is bigger, so, more food for mice, so bigger mice?

[@mandywinter8871]

Seems like it could be a little wider so the mice don't get their heads in the way of the door moving.

[@tpl608]

Pet mouse PTSD alert. Lol

[@cmuller1441]

Make the sides bigger for more room for the mice.

[@badhonroy2164]

[@DaremoKamen]

Instead of fully made out of metal, perhaps you kind crimp a metal edge over the edges of the fins.

[@gwiyomikim5988]

Amazed you have time for work, family, and a successful KZbin channel when all I have time for is watching KZbin videos all day.🤔

This mouse trap is the earliest example of the Millenium Bug.... 1894 or 1994? This proves mouse traps are more important than computers!

[@javonbrandon]

Went the old-fashioned way

[@Days_Sword]

Do u sell these?

Seriously, if some great performers start using snap trap sounds at the start of their songs, they should have to pay royalties to you, could be worth millions.
