$3 fly tying vise

- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- I needed to get a set of inexpensive fly vises for a middle school I’ll be working with next year. I finished making 30 of these and all in it was about $200 with some supplies.
most were bought on amazon and ebay.
I have updated this a couple of times, look for $5 tying vise.
updated version of this tying station • Five dollar fly tying ...
exaxto knife -$1
scissors- nose clipper type $2
Bobbin - 3 for $5
threader- made from .007 guitar strings
half hitch tool -plastic straw or hollow coffee stirrer
thread - $1 at JoAnn
Wood - 6" 2x4 one 2x4 makes 12 bases
I later added a magnet to each base for hooks
Genius. Thanks for introducing kids to this hobby.
Brother, I applaud you!! I lost everything in the divorce and had a regal vice. Depressed and struggling to feed my kid, you gave us a way to bond and have a great time in the water. Ty Keep it up!
Made my day!
Practical, innovative and inexpensive. Wonderful idea, thanks so much for sharing
Awesome idea! Good way to get unto tying flies on the budget. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing and teaching fly tying to school children. I wish I had had that opportunity when I was that age.
Exacto vise! I love it. I'm getting one for my truck, and one for my fly vest! What a tool for on river fixes!
I love frugality. This is a great way for people "wanting" to get started tying. If a rookie can master an Exacto knife... and if so inclined, graduation day to a commercially made vise will be all that more gratifying.
Oh my that is so simple and effective. I love it when a seemingly complex activity like tying flies can be made so simple. Gonna make this for my kids so they can tie with me for sure!
I've changed the design a bit. Move the hole for the vice part nearer to the edge so the bobbin has a little more room to hang . I just finished 30 of these and they cost $200 all in.
Thanks a bunch vice just broke and I have a crap ton of feathered trebles to tie for the plugs I’ve been making all winter. You’re a lifesaver
Very clever. Great way to get started.
Thank you!
I love this! I think I'll use this for a project for my grandson's Cub Scout Den. Thank you for the tips!
You sir are a genius! I’m looking at making vises for school groups, and this is PERFECT! Thank you! 😊

That is an absolute brilliant idea, thank you for sharing!
since i just started fly tying this will be absolutely life saving thanks
Please also see $5 vise and $5 vise 3.0
@@MikeMouradian i definitely will.
Btw are you half Persian by any chance?

Thanks for passing your idea on . I was looking for a cheap way to tie a few rigs here and there .
Great idea my vice just broke going to have to try it out this weekend
Sweet! Trying this out later today! 😁 I've been freehand tying which is doable but I've been wanting a small lap vise. This is amazing.
Interesting. Just started using a Tenkara rod and looking to tie my own flies. I've got a cigar box I'll use as a base with a support block glued inside with a little f-clamp. That way I can keep my bobbins I made and material inside.
perfect for the little wet flies used in Tenkara.
You just saved me buying some vice grips, today. I needed to tie some assist hooks. I had one of those $2 saw kits in my hobby drawer. Thank you for the lateral thinking !!
Glad I could help
Very nice. I'm definitely trying that. I'll buy a real vice later. 👍👏
Necessity is truly the mother of invention
MacGyver-esqe! Nicely done!
Very good idea!!!
Thanks. look at $5 fly tying vise too
Excelente! 👍🎣🤠
Great solution.
I like this idea I have 2 that want to learn to tie and this is perfect for them
This is genius 👏
Good stuff sir, and you are correct, pretty cool.
I Like it a lot. You are an Awesome Guy!
Thank You^!!^
thanks!
@@MikeMouradian , I just got done making My Base out of a 1x6 so it is 3/4"x5 1/2"x7" and I drilled holes 1/2" from the Left and Top edge at 1"o.c. & I drilled an angle Hole for the Exacto at 2" from the Bottom Left Corner and I Plan on putting another hole straight down located 1 1/4" up from the Angled hole so that I can put a Boom (when I find one) to mount the Exacto in a Horizontal configuration that way I can have 2 Axis Rotation.
The First Fly I tied a few days ago I used My Corded Drill as a Vice and it was kinda Cumbersome so I think this is gonna be much better.
Thanks a lot😃
Have a Great Night
Wow that's perfect. Buying some of those!
I changed the design a bit and moved the vice closer to the edge of the block so the bobbin can hang better.
Simple! Probably could be modified in the collet to more easily accept a hook. Cool idea!
I have found some xacto knives to work better than others. I may have to pay more than $.90 to buy them ;-)
nice
Dang good idea!
Thanks!
For a portable, on the go tool...maybe. The trick is, with no rotary functionality, the patterns would have to be the most basic. I can't imagine traveling with something that would be so limiting. I can't spare the space! Lol
If you clamp it on, bore the hole close to the edge, so the knife sticks out over the end, so the kids get a bit more height from fly to table, if not making block stick out over the edge, and create unlimeted height.
actually I have modified it so that the vice does hang over the edge. Great minds think alike.
@@MikeMouradian Yep - most inventions define them selves very much, if you ask the right question. As H Ford said: "If I had listened to the customers, I would have tried to create a faster horse".. And thanks - not often I get called great..
Very cool!
Thank you!!! ❤
I like this idea and am wondering what is the smallest flies that you can tie with this setup I tie ladybug flies on a size #22 hook so very small and am wondering if this can handle something that small or smaller? Please let me know also I am left handed so I tie that way but I would need the tools on the opposite side of the vice and also more holes for a whip finisher and bodkin needle and threader along with hacked pliers and two bobbin holders and maybe extra materials and thread. What size peice of wood are you using?maybe I can make something simular.
The vice part is an exato knife so it normally holds the thicknes of an exacto type blade so should be OK. The block is a six inch piece of 2x4 and you can drill as many holes as you want. it costs 3 bucks to make... if it comes out bad make another.
Thanks grandpa
I like this project and am working on doing something like it I am wondering how large is the piece of wood that you are using for the base? I make a lot of my own tools ( whip finisher,bobbin,threader.dubbing needle,rubbing twister,ect ) plus I also use nail polish for some of my minnow flies. I also tie certain flies on a size 20-22 hooks will this hold a hook that small? Please let me know what you think. Thank You.
sorry for the late reply. Its about 4"wide and 6"long
man i wish i had you
Ingenious
Nice thanks
Don't need bobbin threader - suck the thread through
Curious where the basic rotary future is on this vise model?
Dude, you could also use a roach clip on a popsicle stick. What’s the point?
Dude, I had to make 30 of them for under $200(see above) I just recently had to make another 30 for another school.
“Dude,” stop being an ass. If you can’t be supportive, move the hell on.
You tie size nine flies?
ha ha . mis spoke
我完成了，Thanks
Afferim
try medical forceps
I tried that. How do you attach them to the base?
@@MikeMouradian small bench vise
Please learn to spell. It's "vise."
