    I feel sure you will enjoy this vise, I do love mine. Takes a little getting use to since it's so different, but soon all will be good!

    Hey I forgot to mention when threading the auto bobbins make 1 or 2 wraps around the wire on one side (before you thread it into the tube) to add a little tension. Also they have some little plastic caps for them that kind of look like a dunce hat which you can put on after you cut the thread so it doesn't fly back around the spool, LOL! I feel sure that will happen to you at least a few times, LOL!

    You will really like the vice. I mounted mine on a 4 inch wide board and can clamp it to a TV table. The extra arm ( post ) really is convenient as a bobbin holder when tying.

    It's great, drilled holds in my sewing table, (fly table)set the post 14" away.. Already getting faster. The 2 wraps on the bobbin skip is the deal. I watched almost all of Norm's videos so I knew to wrap it. Just learn to hold thread before snipping and then wrap on post till next jig is set in vise! So May features...the screw on the top acts like a break when adding chenille , the wraps are really uniformed . I almost can mimic norm in his videos, but never his skills! Can't wait to do,some dubbin for my blue gill flies!
