Those who know me understand that I am fairly conservative, but last night my son-in-law SHOCKED me when he did the open auction and gave me the sweet glass case with a Regal vice holding a fly along with 14 other custom flies from George Harvey!! This went for $600??? Hell, it is better than my 401K plan. I can not express my appreciation.

This is a great forum!

When you get the film developed, ask the processor to scan the negatives onto a CD for you. It is usually pretty cheap, sometimes free. Download a copy of IrfanView and use it to edit the photos before you post them online (cropping and resizing). Cameron swears by Picasa for the same uses. I've yet to invest in digital equipment as good as my 35mm camera. When I really need to get a photo right the first time, because it will be the only time, I still use film. Tom

I'm with Tom, would love to see it and would certainly use the vise. Hayden "Everything's better when wet...." Steve Miller Band

Congrats - next time I'm in your neck of the woods let's put the vice to good use and play around with some new patterns - I've been tying some paraloop emergers, and I just picked up some of that midge size micro-tubing to try and tie some of those teeny green beadheads with the small antron wings that you showed me. I love my Regal with the midge jaws on it. Really great thing for your son-in-law to do. -Steve
