I built this last year out of titanium, I had it at plugfest. I used the Renzetti saltwater jaws for it. I took the best things I could find out of the Traveler and the Master vise they make and put them into one. The master vise they sell is $650.00. I said I can do just as good and only have to buy the jaws. The darn jaws are $90, not cheap. Renzetti doesn't make anything cheap. Thing is awesome if I may say so as I was using a $15 vise before and it was a royal PIA.
I am now in the midst of making 3 more, but out of stainless, as titanium is too expensive. Pretty much same exact vise. I had to spend $300 just for the jaws and of course materials and labor, but I work cheap.
My plan is to donate one to the site for an auction and probably trying to sell the other 2 eventually, although they may already be gone. I am no fly tyer by any stretch but IMO can't go wrong with the Renzetti product, but you need deep pockets. I really like the saltwater cam jaws as they will hold an 8/0 hook no problem down to a 4 . I mostly do tails for my plugs so I wanted a jaw that would hold the larger hooks. P.
