Vise grip buck tail vise

I went a little overboard with my vise. Made it a true rotary vise, used 3/8 rod and some roller blade bearings. The cylinder is a piece of gas pipe, welded a tab and threaded a ¼” screw as a stop to hold the vise in place so you can use two hands to apply material and use a bobbin. The ¼” screw stops on two nuts that are welded on the horizontal piece of 3/8” rod, on the other side of the vise its being held together by a 3/8” drill stop. It was a fun project, it was made just for tying buck tails, but in this picture you can see that it works with flies too.
