Here is your chance to own a Law Vise for only 4 thousand dollars. Also, free shipping. Amazing what people are trying to get out of these vises. http://classicflyrodforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=97&t=111839

Hello, I became a member in 2005, and my last post was approximately 3 -1/2 years ago. I have been away from fly tying during this time due to other obligations (e.g., family, graduate school), and finally at a point to return. My fishing and fly tying endeavors have mainly focused on panfish and trout. I am looking forward to being part of the community again as a active member. Ron

I have utilized various tying lights (e.g., OttLite, McKenzie) in the past, but have never tried a LED version. Does anyone have experience with LED offerings from Peak, ProLite, or another company? ProLite has a dual lamp version that seems interesting. http://ritebobbin.com/shop/prolite-dual-headlight-lamp http://ritebobbin.com/shop/prolite-tying-lamp Ron

Has anyone ordered from Catskill Flies Fly Shop? I was thinking about purchasing some Collins Hackle from them. Thanks. http://www.catskillflies.com/ Ron

Has anyone bought from Fly Tying Specialties online? If so, what was your experience like? Thanks. http://www.flytyingspecialties.com/shop/ Ron

I purchased a special edition master vise, so my Traveler will now be utilized only for traveling purposes. Thanks for everyone's input. Ron

I am thinking about purchasing a Renzetti Presentation 4000 or Master Vise. I would like input from owners of these vises. Do you think the master is worth the extra money over the 4000? Thanks. Ron

Here is a link to one that sold yesterday for $1,857.00 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Lawrence-Waldron-Fly-Tying-Vise-Not-a-Snowbee-Copy-/261329217695?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cd86f689f&nma=true&si=R2P0en5v3t75f6py8jLvswWyZSA%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Ron

I was thinking about purchasing some of Collins grade 3 barred colored capes for dries. What barred colors would you suggest? Thanks.
-
The majority of my tying is nymphs, but wanted to start getting into dries. I plan on ordering some grade 3 capes from Collins, but wanted some suggestions on colors. I was thinking grizzly, brown, medium dun, and light ginger would be a good start. What do you think of this color selection? In addition, Collins sells barred colors. Would you recommend going with the standard color or possibly a barred dun and ginger instead? Thanks. Ron

I received my cape today. Just wondering like Rolf, what precautions should be taken? Thanks. Ron
-
There are 2 sellers (andyg640, moryachok) on ebay from Estonia with 100% ratings offering Jungle Cock capes. Which seller are people talking about?
-
For those who have purchased dry fly capes from Collins, what are the fly size ranges and "sweet spot" in ranges in the 3 grades he offers?
-
Is the bronze dry fly cape from Whiting worth the extra money in comparison to their prograde? I wanted to get into tying some dries no smaller than size 20. Any other suggestions to consider other than offerings from Whiting would be appreciated. Thanks.

I was planning on constructing a dubbing brush twister like Jan Siman's version, but wanted to make it motorized. What types of motors could be utilized? Also, links to other designs that people have made and like would be appreciated. Thanks http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Jan+Siman+dubbing&FORM=HDRSC2#view=detail&id=C8FFC846EBD22DC5D53216B5B3E2EBD1DED74082&selectedIndex=63 Ron

I am interested in purchasing a tube vise adapter. There are cheap ones like in the following link and more expensive offerings from companies like HMH and Eumer. Are the more expensive versions worth it? Thanks http://www.ebay.com/itm/TUBE-FLY-VISE-ADAPTER-fly-tying-tube-flies-/290800154479?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43b50a376f Ron

Does anyone have plans or a link on how to construct a popper cutting jig similar to what River Roads Creations sells? Thanks in advance. http://www.riverroadcreations.com/GaryKrebPopperJigs.htm Ron

I believe Orvis used to sell a version somewhat similar to what you won. However, their bottom portion was a box for storing materials without any drawers. Ron

The following link provides instructions for constructing and utilizing a Clark's spinning block. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/flytying/tyingtips/part361.php Ron

I have tried a variety of methods to store hooks over the years. Has anyone utilized one of the combination hook/fly box versions in the following link? Thanks. http://www.bobmarriottsflyfishingstore.com/fly-tying-tools/hook-material-storage/anglers-image/ultra-thin-large-6-compartment-box

Does anyone know if the ZDO Feather/Craft bags are still available? They are listed on http://troutgeek.com/product1.html, but there was no response to my email requests. If not still available, does anyone have an alternative for a similar item? Thanks. Ron
-
Thanks for the help. I found a tripod and the camera's instructions. If the MPs doesn't matter, it makes more sense to experiment with the existing camera. In addition, I made a light box like the one detailed in the following link. http://www.pbase.com/wlhuber/light_box_light_tent

My experience level is limited concerning cameras and photography. I basically utilize an old Fujifilm 5.2 MP that has a macro setting on a rare occasion. However, the picture quality has always been questionable. This may be the consequence of my lack of skill rather than the fault of the camera. It seems from other people's posts that this type of setup should be sufficient for my needs (i.e., taking pictures of fly fishing flies and bamboo fly rods for online postings). If I decide to go the route of a new camera, any recommendations (e.g., brand, how many MPs) to narrow the search for around $100 would be appreciated? Ron

These links might help. I upgraded from a Thompson Model A to a Renzetti Traveler, and happy with that decision. Peak seems to make a nice vise for $150. However, you are potentially going to receive a lot of opinions and recommendations. http://www.flyfisherman.com/content/best-vises/1 http://www.hatchesmagazine.com/reviewCat/1 Ron
