Hi Bob,

I don't know if the tiers I observed were 'old school' or not. All I observed was that they both had top of the line 'true rotary vises', yet they did not use the rotary function even though the flies tied were precisely what those vises were built to do. Maybe for these tiers the vises were an ego thing or something other then functional?
Now I have a question for anyone here: Have you seen any tying videos, except for the Norvise or a 'rotary vise sponsored' demonstration, where the rotary function is used? Was the tier somewhat renown or a John Doe who happened to make a video?
