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
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

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!

@TheFrugalFlyRodder 3 года назад

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.

Thank you for sharing and teaching fly tying to school children. I wish I had had that opportunity when I was that age.

I love this! I think I'll use this for a project for my grandson's Cub Scout Den. Thank you for the tips!

@niq2465 3 года назад

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!

@MikeMouradian 3 года назад

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.

@MrZeagans 3 года назад

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.

Thanks for passing your idea on . I was looking for a cheap way to tie a few rigs here and there .

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

@frankcarew239 3 года назад

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 !!

@MikeMouradian 3 года назад

I changed the design a bit and moved the vice closer to the edge of the block so the bobbin can hang better.

@@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

@ronmiller7916 4 года назад

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.

@MikeMouradian 4 года назад

perfect for the little wet flies used in Tenkara.

@robertmiller9142 Год назад

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.

@MikeMouradian Год назад

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.

@robertmiller9142 11 месяцев назад

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.

@MikeMouradian 5 месяцев назад

sorry for the late reply. Its about 4"wide and 6"long

@CONEHEADDK 3 года назад

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.

@MikeMouradian 3 года назад

actually I have modified it so that the vice does hang over the edge. Great minds think alike.

@CONEHEADDK 3 года назад

@@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..

@cerebraltackle 3 года назад

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
