Well I've been trying to finish up my jigs so I can get them sent off. Wouldn't you know it, my vise broke. So I'm tying my last few jigs on a new vise.
Below is my new vise. Total cost.....free (stuff laying around the shop around). I got the idea from somewhere on the net, where a guy had students build vises from a piece of wood and an exacto knife. Mine is just a little fancier than that.

Agrihawg,Ive always heard where theres a will theres a way and you certainly have proved that.Good job anyway.
Very creative.I wonder what those would list for retail.Looks like it's working pretty well cuz I see some nice looking jigs there.
Well if its USA made which it is it would sell for 3 payments of $9:95 if its China made like most stuff including !!!!!!!the list is to long it would cost 1 bowl of field rice for 30 vises a place to sleep 3x3x6 and $.19 a day and it would sell for $12:95 ???????????
I have heard of people tying flies with out a vise at all so your ahead of them, LOL!

I'm at least one step ahead of the guy that used to tie with vise grips too. :D

Vise Grips, Good Idea I like it
I bet it rotates also:)
Vice? oh wait - you mean v-i-s-e ........
Looks like it works - I was thinking initally of a vise on a work bench....
Good work....

AgriHawg, is it made allowing the jig to be turned over? I tie quite a few two sided skirt jigs. Also, does it hold the hook well, I tend to exert a fair amount of pressure with hair jigs especially....??? About turning over, I realize you can remove the hook and turn the jig over, but what I am asking is about turning the knife handle over, or will the jaws turn over when loosened a tad? Thanks, Mac
So far it's worked quite well. I've only tied a handful of jigs on it, but so far it holds the jigs pretty tight. You can rotate the jig by rotating the knife. It's not fixed so you can turn it, or even remove the knife from the block.Quote:

I've ordered a Danvise. For my price range, it seems like the majority agree it's the best rotary vise available. Should be here by the end of the week. I made the exacto vise so I could finish up my jigs for the swap. I wouldn't be able to finish on time if I had waited for one to arrive.
