Great job! Taking it up a notch eh? Don't let them intimidate you. Get in there and do your best. I know that you will I bought some steelhead fly materials today. How about giving up some pics of your "specials? I could use some suggestions.RG
You're in trouble now Duke. Better start planning the addition to your house There's a neat little jaw extension that's sold for the Danvise that gives you more room to work around the jaws. I think I paid $18 for one on ebay. As you progress, you may want to add it to the vise. I found it more comfortable when working on smaller and larger files.A word about scissors. Buy good scissors!. LLBean sells a nice set of Dr Slick scissors for around $30 that are sweet. For most of what I do I use a $4 pair that I found at Joann Fabrics. I think they were in the scrapbooking department. They're small, have a very fine point, large loops and the darned things are very sharp. You won't feel as bad about cutting wire with them either.Before y'all start busting on me, I do electrical work in all of their stores Next; Don't go crazy buying hooks! Decide what you're going to tie and search them out on ebey. You'll pay 10% of what the tiny packs at the fly shop will cost you.Thread; Buy the right thread for what you're tying. Pay attention to what the instructions indicate for thread. I have too many spools of thread to count, From 8/0 mono to Kevlar. Show us some pics and as always, feel free to ask for advice.....we love to talk.RG
