![]() ![]() Put the door in the base and bend another piece of wire into a tiny figure eight. Use something to space out the door inside the frame, then put CA glue on some small squares of thin leather and press them in place to act as door hinges. Turn in a short screw just enough to help hold the handle more securely, but leave it sticking out the back just a little bit. Once it’s attached, flip the door over and drill through into the back of the handle. Use CA glue and accelerator to stick a small handle to the front of the door (a little dowel works well). Use CA glue (or wood glue if you aren’t in a hurry) to attach a small block of wood with a hole through it in it’s place.īend a short piece of heavy gauge wire into the funny shape you see here, then slide the ends into the holes and pinch it together. Remove the original catch from the trap and throw it away. The trigger for the outhouse needs a bit more work. Try dropping a quarter through the coin slot and watch to make sure it hits the catch. To test it, set the trap, assemble the bank, and leave the front off. I'd suggest putting the parts together and get your own measurements for that bit.*Īt this point the bank is about done. The long sides also need that 1/4-inch spacing, but the front and back are spaced out slightly different to create a little extra overhang in the front. *The top of the outhouse is slightly different. Just set your fence 1/4-inch away from a 1/4 inch bit or blade, then run all four sides of both bases, and the bank’s top through. To cut the dados in the tops and bases, use whatever you have access to, but I would suggest a table saw or router table. Sides - (2) 6 x 3-3/4 - These will need a diagonal cut in them for the sloped roofline. ![]() ![]()
