Bob,
Let'em learn like I did- no vise, tools, tying supplies, or instruction.
Give them some road-kill parts- feathers and furs, and some photos of
finished flies
with the basic sequences.
Might sound like I being facetious, but in actually, they'll always
appreciate for the rest of their tying days having the right materials and
tools once they get them.
I know this won't happen, but it would do them good and teach them how
important dexterity is.
Beginning tiers today take for granted the incredible array of materials,
tools, and training available, and I think the lack of all of that to start
would enhance the appreciation once the good stuff in incorporated. From
Thompson A vices and Chinese necks to Renzetti's and Whiting super-saddles-
everything has come so far.
DonO
Will be signing off for another week starting tomorrow.

Hey folks I am thinking about starting up some Beginners Fly Tying
Classes with my local Community Education program. Does anyone know
where I can rent, borrow or buy cheaply vises and tools for such an
endeavor. I was thinking max of 8-10 people per scheduled class.
