    I think the pedestal on my Peak is advertised as 6 pounds...I love it. Even though I do have a dedicated area for tying, I find myself moving my vise around the table to get to this or that or maybe just get a different angle on things. I've spun deerhair more than once and never had a problem. :headbang:

     

    For what it's worth, after the first few days of owning my vise I gave the bright white pedestal base a light fogging of flat gray spray paint. I know some of the guys here like the contrast,..the way I have my lighting and seating situated it gave me some hellacious eye strain and a headache.

     

    If you find your vise too short with the pedestal, I believe the Peak pedestal extension will fit if your shaft is 3/8"....helped me dial it in..

    I may only carry 3 or 4, but if it's a pattern I believe in, I'll tie 12 at a sitting. I really believe that to get comfortable with a pattern you've gotta tie a bunch of em. I hated dubbing loops til I started tying Murrays' Madtoms. Since I tied a bunch for myself and 16 for the Smallie swap I've actually come to enjoy tying them and they look SOOO much better than the first ones! :headbang:

    Thanks for the great interest so far, I did speak with the company today and they said I could mix and match colors as long as I keep the same design and the same color for the design. So I will try to get a few colors together so everybody can choose whatever color(s) they want.

     

    And that, my diminutive friend, is why I insist on being a thorn in your pale white arse.

    Mike...

     

    Funny, I was just on the phone with Will talking about this very thing. I got the Bob Clouser book a few weeks ago and started messing around with his "Swimming Nymph" pattern. I tied some in olive (olive maribou tail, custom blended some dubbing from about 3 different types, olive hen back soft hackle and a muted brass/olive beadhead) and discovered that I had tied a pretty good looking Dragon Nymph type thing without even trying. I really like the looks of it and if I can tie it, I KNOW you can! :headbang:

    If anybody wants some sili-skin at a cut rate let me know..I've got 5 or 6 packages that are barely touched that I'd LOVE to get rid of! Great stuff,...I haven't got the knack for it and I just get mad when I try to use it. :dunno: :crying: :wallbash:

     

    Send me a PM
