Dave at kelton Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 Our fly tying club is trying to get more youngsters involved and away from their computers. To do so we need vices in good working order. Does anyone have any they no longer use and would be prepared to donate? I am happy to pay postage but we can’t afford to buy vices. many thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) They go cheap on eBay for basic old Veniard ones or Chinese knock-off copies. And with postage free I'd think would be cheaper that a free vice that you paid the postage on? Items: 401211776066 But if you want an Odames that's another thing. Being Leicester based mine came from his widow. I either use that or a Scottie on its heavy freestanding base. I could help with silks maybe and some capes but can't help with vices, sorry.

enfieldspares Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 There are these on eBay. Bob Church vices at £8.47 for two or more. Bob Church stuff may have been basic but it wan't ever rubbish. 401211776066 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 If you were looking at bulk buying a quantity of the above, at least the lads all get a new vice and all get the same as each other I'd be happy to send you £10 via Paypal or whatever to start a "vice fund" rolling. Perhaps other PW members might also do so? Pretty soon you'd have maybe £50, £70 or whatever to then get an order in? Let me know your thoughts on a "vice fund".

oldypigeonpopper Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Hello, I do not have any spare fly tying vices but think what a good thing for your club and hope it brings a few youngsters to learn the art of tying fly patterns from the natural insects, Edited August 5, 2023 by oldypigeonpopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
