RE: [VFB] Tying Vises

[Larry JOHNSON]

Ed:  I know that a lot of tiers have vises that they are happy with.  All I know is that when I sat across the tying table from Joyce Westphal several times, and watched her do her magic on her Nor-vise,  I could not deny that it was the answer to my tying dilemmas.  Yes, it is an expensive item.  If there is any way you could sit at one and have someone show you what it can do for your tying,  I think you would be impressed.  I do have the video that come with mine.  It was impreesive to me, and helped a lot for me to become acquainted  with the vise.  Would you like for me to loan you the video?  Let me know.  I am going to be out of town for more than a week.  I will be back on February 26.  Another item that Norm Norlander sells along with the vise is the spring-loaded bobbin.  Another expensive item, but you cannot imagine how handy it is.  It has a spring loaded cam inside the hub of the bobbin, so there is always tension on the thread.  What a radical concept.  It saves so much time.  Amazing !!!   Be in touch.   Larry Johnson >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/14/02 03:38PM >>> 1.

If you had to choose between the Renzetti Traveler or the Griffith Odyssey, which would you choose, and why (negating the debate of cam or no cam)? What is the advantage to all the adjustments of the Griffith, and does it just cause more breakage of the vise? Ed Roden Quest for Quality Computers, Inc.
