Thanks so much everyone, I have a couple more questions I hope you can answer for me - This traveller I have is a few years old, it is solid metal except for about 3 - 4 screws which look like nylon or plastic. It is good to know that they are really hardy vises. Can the Traveller take commercial fly tying? I now also have a older Danvise as well and wonder which one of them will stand up to the "crunch" better. Someone said that they changed the standard jaws with a cam set - what are these and are they expensive and where would I get them from? I also tie Saltwater flies as well for a local shop, will the Traveller handle these? Or do you think I should use the Danvise for that? You guys, thanks again for answering and have a really wicked Christmas won't you. Jeanne

I have just recently (yesterday - Saturday 19th dec) won a bidding war on TradeMe for a traveller Renzetti ,and I picked it up and have used it with loving care. does anyone know much about these vises? I need to know how to take care of it, to keep it working properly and smoothly for a long long time as it wasn't cheap. Does it need oiling? etc any help would be gratefully received. Thanks in advance Jeanne

I like it, I like it - great bait for a randy fush :hyst: :hyst: :hyst: But on a serious note here - it is really well crafted wouldn't mind it myself for the craftmanship thats gone into it. Jeanne

Absolutely superb tying guys - they are just soooooooooo darn real looking! Maybe oneday i'll get to be as good as you all - and that's a BIG maybe! Jeanne

Yes this would make a wonderful how-to, perfection is best taught from the masters Jeanne

What a delightful fly, sweet lines and soft colour makes it a sure classic - great fly!!!! Jeanne

Nice fly with soft but defining lines - a real classic! Well done indeed. :headbang: Jeanne

nothing wrong with it at all, lookin pretty from where I'm sitting! great construction - looks good enough to cook in eat mmmmmm....... Jeanne

Nice abdoman and wings though.... nice segmentation on the abdoman etc..... Jeanne

Nice looking beetle dazzyed, real nice. jeanne

Hi Leif - indeed welcome back....... now if I didn't know that these were flies I would head for the hill's already - big spiders tend to freak me out. i used to write nature and gardening articles and although I now find them fascinating creatures after all the research, I tend to give the biggies a wide berth! and these chaps look SOOOOOOOOOOOOO real *gulp* Well done. Did they take you long to create? did you do them from a picture or from the *shudder* real mcoy? Jeanne

These sure are big Roach's, and so likelike! gee i would grunt a few expletives if I saw one close up too *hehehe* Good Tying British Mike Jeanne :headbang:

This looks fantastic arkle, I like the crisp clean lines and I'm sure it will be a super success! well done indeed.... Jeanne

Ulf - these are just so fantastic, they are the exquiste and so lifelike! well done indeed. Jeanne

very, very nice Crayfish, looks really edible - dribble, dribble -- 'time for tea yet? hehehehe' :headbang: Jeanne
