That's natural selection you have interfered with.

The contents might though, in the event of 'irresistible force meets immovable object'.
A local woman used to drive around in a big, old Merc with a couple of large stones on the rear parcel shelf, used to anchor a travel rug for her pooch on the back seat.

You could see the penny drop when I pointed out that, if she was in a crash, those stones would still be coming forward at 40/50/60 mph, possibly taking the top of her head off in passing.....

Better than having it lose on the seat then.
It's for stuff like wallet keys. Box of screws I cba to out in the back. Tape measure.
If I have a head-on the tape measure going through the windscreen will be the least of my worries

, if she was in a crash, those stones would still be coming forward at 40/50/60 mph, possibly taking the top of her head off in passing.....

That's nothing compared to a man I knew this summer.
He has a tractor and do some work with it .
He's completely insane and he use one those attachments similar to what's used to defuse land mines .
Have you ever heard how a 12 gauge slug sounds?
Imagine to be about 500m away from this man an his tractor and ear that sound...
A 5 or 6kg hammer flying like a bullet .
If it hit someone is 1 shot 1 confirmed kill ...

Oh I like that, I may have to drop you a PM at some point for instruction, or just to blag you in to making one for me

Believe my Kerry is MT4.5

I've just added a first go at a write-up on how I made it; you can find it here if you're still interested: https://www.cgtk.co.uk/metalwork/m250/er40mt45

Let me know if you think it needs more detail.

Had to deal with undesirable animal/s today
Placed the trap , used chocolate.
Tomorrow I will probably come here to show a mouse picture

peanut butter seems to work better.

Yep I need to build something rodents chewed my fishing tackle bag.

 

[Sammy7]

It’s going to be based on the following piece of equipment

 

[brightspark]

I just done the annual rounds bait blocks in every building and round the house after 2 nights and re bait no rodent activity and the blocks haven't been touched that's it for the winter

I sincerely hope you're joking!

 

[Spark plug]

Someone’s been watching them crazy tinfoil clad Russian’s making ray guns on YouTube

 

[Sammy7]

It’s going to be on a timer switch no need to run it 24/7

 

[Sammy7]

Actually my favourite never failed yet in the morning one of them will be in the bottom of the bin alongside cardboard tube that was balanced with bait inside. Then flow a bit of argon into said bin then switch on magnetron

 

[Sammy7]

Or you drop something heavy into bin same effect just uses less gas

I came accross a milk bottle on its side in my field few years back ,some one had chucked over the hedge, inside 3 dead field mice , although I am a country guy born and bred hate to think of them dying slowly , obviously the glass was too slippery for them to climb up out of the neck.
so might be worth a try as a trap, maybes take them over the woods and let them have half a chance rather than just do them in though if it works for you.

And probably more humane too.

 

[Maker]

I've got no qualms about killing pests if it's humanely done, cooking their insides with a magnetron can't be a quick death though.

I tried the humane approach first time I got one in the bin, I reached down tentatively with an empty box with a view of collection and then release into the wild when I took dog a walk into fields. However mouse was ready and just ran up my arm onto my shoulder and legged it in the junk piled up in garage. Trap reset and no prisoners next time. I quite like wildlife, probably more so than humans. It’s just the damage they cause ( mice) which is unmeasurable in comparison to humans

I've already captured one using chocolate (half twix) ,we will see in these days if it actually works or I'm only being lucky the last time
