Vises: Lets See Yours

Recommended Posts

My backwards "step-by-step":

 

The "active" ones these days would be these two...

Dyna-King Barracuda Deluxe and Dyna-King Supreme.

Before that: Griffin Montana Mongoose - Now used as monopod for the camera (C-clamp + stem) while the padded carrying case has a Dyna-King sticker on it.

Before that: Danvise - Now making a good job displaying one of Ronald Pop's beautiful creations in my tying room.

Before that: Eagle Vise - Now (together with the rest of the "Moosegoose" parts) with a task to take up a little space under something else in the drawer.

Before that, Noname vise a.k.a. "Comes With The Kit Vise" - Now used for getting nostalgic feelings in the tying breaks... and for preventing the rolling board to move in under the bench all the time.

Other than those, an ornamental miniature vise/tool kit, gift from Tony Spezio when I tied at Sowbug 2006. - A couple of the tools used for #32's, but mostly just being pretty on the shelf... and for educational purposes of course. :rolleyes:

You guys are making my old Thompson Model A look pretty clunky. Thanks for sharing. :headbang:

 

That's what I use too... Dad bought it when I was in the 7th grade and threw my crappy kit vise across the room in a fit of frustration :devil: . Kit vises then were just mild steel, usually slit jaws with a thumb screw you couldn't get tight on a streamer hook.

 

It was $27 from Eddie's Flies in Bangor Maine :D

Along with a choice of jaws, Jay makes a well conceived tube fly conversion...

@petegray: That crab is fantastic. Is that just EZ Body for the shell? Does it sink straight down or tumble? Nice surf candy, too!
