I'm looking for a tying vice... New or used it really doesn't matter.
Something along the lines of a FlyMate vice or Veniard No1 Rotary.
I would preferably like it to be on a pedestal and it to be a rotary vice.
I've had a look around the net and read a few posts on the subject on these forums and I'm tempted by the FlyMate vice (without ball joint) and the No1 Rotary vice, for the money I have to spend which is a maximum of £60.
I currently using a No12 lever vice which Grommit (Ian) put together in a tailor made starter kit a couple of months back. It's served me well, having tied in excess of 100 flies now. I tie my flies at my desk and use the vice clamp to secure to the front edge of the desk. But the wife has started Uni and as started to use my desk and PC more reguarly. So a pedestal would be beneficial when I'm ejected from my desk.
So can any of you reccomend a vice, any I should stay clear of, and who/where would you reccomend purchasing it from. Also could the No1 Rotary vice or similar be purchased on a pedestal or will it fit on a pedestal. I think I'll PM Grommit to and see what he can reccomend.
Your thoughts, views and opinions would be gratefully received and read with interest...
Cheers... Woz.
