Thanks Rockfish, but Im a newby. Ive only been at it a few months. I dont build showpieces, I build stuff to bang off rocks and get chewed up (hopefully) If theres a litle blemish in the epoxy...so what, I dont sweat it, I can make a new one. Its just fun, thats why I do it.

Its an NJT pikie#3 lip. Held in place with brass pins, not screws.

BTW, thats a Renzetti Traveler vice. Had it for years. Bought it when I used to production fly tie for some local shops. Ive tied down to size 32's on it
