Noticed some new traffic this AM. I hope you enjoy what you find here.

I’m Gary L. Barnes. Life long Craftsman. Professional since 1974. That’s been a mixture of Knives (mostly folders) and Air Rifle’s. I focused about 25 years on each. I have added a good group of Die Struck Jewelry. Ive made my own tool steel Dies since 1980. I’ve struck the Dies in Silver, Jewelry Grade Aluminum, and German Silver, with Copper as well.

Everybody gets older. I’ve adapted by doing those operations I can at any given time. I have an extremely bad back. With Arthritis, Scoliosis, and Nerve damage, it’s made it much harder for me to work with my big guns. To cock and fire one right now, ties me up like a pretzel. It may take a few days to untie me. Ha.

So those days I do engraving of some Folding Knife work. In fact, I’m building a couple “Mac” Folders right now. Pics soon.

Enjoy. Post questions for myself and others in the family here. Thanks for thinking of us.

Best
Gary
