Replying to my post of old regarding a rotary vice. I did purchase a
Renzetti Traveler and it layed in its box for several months prior to
assembly and use. The christening of the vice took place at Norm's Alchemy
and Fly Tying.....Wed. night thing. We started tying and then the clap of
thunder followed by "Lights Out". I was i/2 way through a RK FRHE when the
light went out. With the minimal width between jaws and desktop, i was
unable to cotrol the tension of the thread due to the bobin lying on the
desk. I completed the fly in the dark by feel. Very disappointed with the
Renzetti, I pulled the old Thompson out and the light came back on.....A
sign?... Maybe not - Perhaps I should try the Orvis from a following post
suggestion. Don't get me wrong - the renzetti must be a great vice. I just
need time to become comfortable the it's workings.

If you can't tie off a Renzetti, you shouldn't be tying. Let alone fly
fishing...... BSEG

YMMV.
