Re: [VFB] Vises - my 4¢ worth

George and Tony, You guys have got me beat by a long shot! I've only got four vises. I've got the Renzetti Traveler. And, unlike Mart, I love it. Most of the new rotary vises have copied or modified the Renzetti design. Mart hates the Anvil Apex. I used one for an evening and liked it exc

My very first bought vise was a Thompson "B" with the big Red knob on the back, I bought that in the 40's. My first vise, was a homemade vise. I wish I still had it. I still have the "B". The Norlander bobbins are some of the best though the new ones and not as good as the ones Norm made. The ne

RE: [VFB] Vises

Tony, if you have the chance to get the Orvis Baetis vise, go for it, they are rare as hens teeth. I bought mine at an Orvis surplus sale and it had a broken jaw so I got it for a great price. It was quite expensive when new from Orvis as most of their merchandise is. I had an extra set of Thomps

RE: [VFB] Vises

Even though I am a big fan of Thompson vises, this model never appealed to me. They had a nice line of accessories, however, they were designed only for the Cobra and the investment was more than I cared to make. George _ From: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com [mailto:vfb-m...@googlegroups.com

RE: [VFB] Vises

George, I have been thinking about it but I hate to give up my Norlander. I still use it when I decide to tie an order of Woolly Buggers. I know I can replace it with a newer one but I have it set up like I want it. Maybe I might make him an offer on it today. He has a couple of vises. You menti

Hi Tony, I own the Thompson Cobra, and I like to use it. Was my first rotary vise, and I took it with me to the 2nd Sowbug trip (or both?). Maybe you remember, you told me that you don't like the design. It has some advantages and disadvantages. The additional tools only fit to this vise, and the b

Personally I think 'junior' in Barracuda Junior is a very misleading word. It scared me off and I bought the Mongoose because of it. But when I had the chance to see one IRL (Tony's)... I quickly saw that, between the two of them, his sure wasn't the 'junior'. Then I bought a Barracuda Junior mysel
