Rolling Log Mouse Trap Parts

These are parts used to build a rolling log mouse trap with no drilling. The idea is after you catch all your mice (live or otherwise) you can easily remove the log mechanism and use the bucket again like new.

For an identical setup to the picture you will need:

-1 PVC pipe 0.840 inch (21.3mm) diameter cut to fit.

-2 608 skate style bearings also used for fidget spinners.

-1 5 Gallon Bucket

-Bait

The Parts layout is as follows:

-The hollow cylinder joins the pvc and bearing.

-The other two pieces fit together (match the tabs to the slots) and then are inserted into the center of each bearing.

The Log mechanism is now complete and can be installed atop a 5 gallon bucket.

Add bait and ramps to complete the trap.

How I Designed This

the outer ring represents the 5 gallon bucket and the two fitted pieces installed. The final mesh was adjusted slightly for better results.
