It's not as pretty as the Norvise, but until I have a down payment for a house, and can get out of my tiny apartment, this will have to do.

DIY is rad. Sweet vise!

Dude, mad props. I've thought so many times about making a vise, but never did it.

I have been using a homemade vise since 1974. It works but is slow. I've tied thousands of flies on this vise. Recently bought a commercial vise, it should be easier to use, faster and rotate. Actually got a commercial vise for my 65 Birthday. It will be fun tying on a good vise.
