I will post some pictures once it arrives. @Pbass, congratulations on your new toy. Enjoy the many, many hours using it ahead of you(and as @Mogup said, the kids too. Quick tip, if you haven't seen it. take some blue lock-tite and put a tiny drop on the rotation tension adjustment bolt, set it to your desired tension and forget about it. Even w/ the lock-tite you can adjust the tension as much as you'd like. The lock-tit just keeps the screw from backing out. I did that about 3 years ago and haven't had to even think about it since. You're going to love that vise. Here's another tip straight from Charlie Craven regarding how tight the jaws should be on a hook. He said, "when you lower the cam arm it should be just a nice smooth hydraulic like feel right over the "bump". It's less pressure than you think you'll need." Glad to be able to have been of assistance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Charlies fly box uses USPS. I needed it to ship FedEx or UPS. Charlie said he could ship the other ways but I could not order it from his website and I would not get any conformation emails. I don't like dealing over the phone like that so I ordered it directly from DK. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sweet! I will let my wife know that the forum has reached a decision and that I can in fact have as many vises as I want! Thats really what I thought to begin with but I don't think she really gets it. LOL All joking aside she is wonderful and supportive of my fishing/tying/musician addictions. I might add the Barracuda next year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
