Here's an idea so simple I'm surprised they're not being sold for $30 or $40. If
you start making them for sale how about a 1% of sales cut? I like to tie
flys "on demand" and when I'm camping I dislike sitting at a picnic bench with
a pedestal type vise. I want to be comfortable and some of the places I fish there's no such thing as a picnic table!
So ..... find a block of wood and make it nice by rounding the ends and
putting a radius on alll the edges. Then drill two holes, one the diameter of
your vise stem the other the diameter of your "quad" chair. Drill another
hole 1/4" in diameter at right angles to the others and at the mid-point
between them. Cut the block in half down the common centerline of the
first two holes. Enlarge the 1/4" hole in one half to accept a machine
screw insert.
Here's what it looks like:
And here it is attached to the chair and ready to use .... ah, comfort while
I tie.
But sometimes it rains and tying is a good way to kill some time
but not sitting out in the weather. So I made an attachment "bench"
for the steering wheel with some 1" x 2" scrap pine and 2 "J"
bolts with wing nuts and you are in business. How about another 1%?
And, having found a cheap patio umbrella LED light and an "S" hook
I was able to tye at night!
