bucktail vise

Vises & Anvils at Harbor Freight Tools Get a 20% off coupon every weekend in the paper.

military discount gets you 10% off at Home Depot- Yost 4 in. Home Owner's Vise-LV-4 - The Home Depot

But if I were getting one now I would look into something like this- PanaVise Model 201 "Junior" Miniature Vise: Bench Vises: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific as it allows you to flip the lead head over to get the opposite side of the hook without removing the buck from the vise.

I am using a vise that came from my grandfathers' boatbuilding yard (and I have my very own Medicare card, lol.)

Thanks will check them out.

As a first vice for just bucktails I would recommend something cheap like this:
US $21.62 41% OFF|MNFT 1Pcs Matte Black Iron Rotary C Clamp Fly Tying Vise Fly Tying Fishing Beginner Travellers Fly Hook Tool-in Fishing Tools from Sports & Entertainment on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

Attach it to a cheap tv tray with a bath towel over it to protect tray and shake out loose/small tails when finished.

pequa1 Are you building bucktails for whales?😆

Nah. But i do saw the occasional 2x4 in the basement during bad weather. I figured someone would post a crafts vise. I have a little thing with alligator clips and a magnifying glass for ship modeling. Just don’t need anything in between lol.
