New Vice
I stepped off in the deep end this weekend, and got a fly tying vice . It was a anniversary present from my wife. I also got a bobbin and threader, some thread, a whip finishing tool, and a deer tail. I thought maybe tying tying some bucktail jigs might be a good place to start, as I have never tied on a real vice before. I have been watching you tube videos on tying jigs, and think I might be able to do it. I will post pics good or bad later.

When we bought our place there were two metal buildings on the property. One has a concrete floor, and the other one is nicer one with a wood floor, and it had a old desk in it. I claimed that one as my fishing building. Now I know what I am gonna use that desk for! Thanks for the pics and warning , Mike.

It's been going good, Rick. Right now I am waiting for more materials to arrive. Hope to see them soon. I have tied a few jigs and foam spiders as well as a couple experimental ( read practice ) bead heads.
