Yes i love the nor vise its built like a tank its worth every $$ ,i watched norm on you tube put dubbing on with it, that sold me on it ,fast and user friendly.the jaws hold very good ,I have tied from a # 22 to a #2 with the standard jaws .I also have a HMH vise that is made about 10 miles from my house,it too is built like a tank, both are rotary ,but the nor vise smokes it. i use standard bobbins and the auto ones with the Nor vice.Thanks for the friend add on.

Everything I know came from youtube and http://www.rodbuildingforum.com/ I think one of the best sites on the web for fly rod building. I love building em just can't afford too many. plus not enough room to store em. finished the 5 wt this morning, I am very happy with it.

Good luck.

Thanks
Jim
