Re: [VFB] High Dollar Vise, (lining up materials)

[Peggy Brenner]

A little trick I use to line up the cradle and the hook in a straight line, 
to use the rotary vise is a long needle, a 6" job, I lay it over the cradle 
and along the hook shank, then adjust till I get a straight line.  I  have 
the Renzetti Traveler without the cam (older model), and use that for 
freshwater flies and when I take my gear on camping trips, it will hold 
smaller saltwater hooks.  Then I have a HMH pedestal I bought at a fund 
raising auction.  It has all the jaws but is heavy to carry to shows and 
things, so its my at home vise.

You may have to adjust the setting of your vice to line up both the
hook shank with the arm and the bobbin holder with the hook eye.  This
setting has to be adjusted for each different size hook you use
