Seriously though...I have recently gotten back into tying after about a 10 year hiatus and was given the opportunity to tie on a Renzetti Rotary vs my P.O.S. Thompson knockoff.
It was like eating a Ritz when all you've ever had was Saltines.
Until you try it, you can't know what I mean. I'm getting one as soon as I collect enough pop cans. [/reply]
To set the story straight, D-Mack just HAD to run out and buy an inferior vise even though I graciously offered one of my old Thompson Model "A" vises as a loaner to help him get back into tying. He then came over last week and tied on my Renzetti - I'm till mopping up the drool. Should've saved your money, Goofus!
I can't even imagine going back to a standard vise (30 years on those 'ol Thompsons) after going rotary. Now I'm just a spinnin' and a grinnin'.
Forget the cracker analogy - we're talkin' about moving up from tacos de perro to prime filet mignon. Oh, and since you left I noticed a bunch of stuff is missing out of my feather vault!!!
