How NOT to save money fly tying

[Clay]

This is a short commentary on how not to save money by buying cheap. We all know this lesson, but sometimes we just have to get slapped across the face with it to be reminded.

I started tying and knew that I wanted a rotary vise. I bought a DanVise. Nice enough vise at this price point but I just didn't have the sense of pride of ownership that I wanted and within just a couple of months bought a Peak Rotary. Nice vise, made in USA with good company support. Still it lacked in what I wanted. I WANTED a Dyna King Barracuda and settled for the Peak. Today I do what I have done many times and finally bought what I wanted a Dyna King Barracuda. Yeah, sure would love a LAW but that is like saying that I want a Lamborghini, it's not going to happen.

So I bought three vises to end up with the one that I wanted first. This is the way not to save a dime, when will I learn?
