mb82 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 Pro. You can tie on almost any flat surface Con Not as stable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sniksoh 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 well the description said it weighs 6 POUNDS!!! i would think it would be pretty stable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishyman 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 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: Â 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. Â 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..

Bruce Derington 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2006 I agree with fishyman , if the base is heavy enough you should be able to tie just fine(except with spinning or stacking deer hair). Fishyman mentions the height of the jaws(from the base)and he's right. some vices limit you to such a short distance(from the fly to the table) that if your using a long bobbin you don't have much room, especially when tying dubbing loops. As he mentioned, you may want to purchase longer "shaft"(that goes between you jaws and base) but without knowing the Mfg. I not sure if they offer the extensions Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
