Happy holidays Hope your both well Gary the chalk drawing is crazy wild . I hope you’re covering it with glass to protect & hang up . Did you draw over the course of a whole year or ?? Ok course I love all the other stuff you make also . Thanks for sharing .by kurt wag - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
I smell cake or is that the candles burning ! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! Hopefully your relaxing !by kurt wag - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Looking good Gary I can’t imagine all the polishing you have to do. I’ve seen picks of your polishing room and the aftermath. I don’t think my hand grip would even be good enough anymore . It’s definitely time to think ahead for those gifts we all will need too . I’m glad you’re getting an early start .by kurt wag - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Gary That’s a great looking knife. I always love the detail on the bolster you do . I know you haven’t mentioned it but judging by the size of your big paws to the knife it looks like a good 5” blade too. I showed my wife and she was very impressed . Then I pulled out a smaller version of one I got from you to give her the true effect of the craftsmanship. The pearl and abalone is soby kurt wag - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Those are beautiful looking airguns I can only imagine the effort put into the research and development of them . I think I’ve read magazine articles about them too . I know that there are not many Barnes airguns for sale out there so I’m sure they won’t last long if you’re still selling them .by kurt wag - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Howdy Have you figured out what your guns are yet or determined a price ?by kurt wag - AR Classifieds
Oh Gary You know that’s my favorite ! Nice work ! Thanks for sharingby kurt wag - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Wow Someone has been busy All I can say is … Giddy up pilgrim !! Looking good Gary .by kurt wag - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
I’m thinking those introductions are like ice breakers to initiate a conversation. Sometimes I just say I’m doing fine because if I tell them how sore or painful I feel then it turns into a how bad they are doing and we all know everyone has issues . But then you might as well go sit at a bar and drown your sorrows . Sooo how’s the weather ?? Haha Hey those dies look like you’reby kurt wag - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Looks like someone has the sketch pad out !by kurt wag - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Man that’s some rotten luck I sure hope y’all are on the other side of all that stuff . Lots of rest and fluids I’m told . God blessby kurt wag - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Howdy guys and gals This is my knife that Gary made a few years back ! I know the one he’s working on isn’t completely done yet but with all those different cuts … you won’t want to miss out buying that one . The pictures and action can’t do the knife justice. You have to hold it to really appreciate it .by kurt wag - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Gary & Kelly Sorry to hear about your sudden loss of your sons partner. You can never be prepared . Hopefully peace will be found for all of you .by kurt wag - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Man Gary that looks like a lotta work . I’ve got a couple of your mosaics and can’t even imagine doing them plus making them symmetrical ! You da MAN Can’t wait to see . Thanks for sharingby kurt wag - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Gary I love the patina too and just the knowledge of years of use too . It’s held up very well . Is that a locking mechanism I see on the edge view ? As you know I carry my md 97 in my pocket every where I go . It has seen some use and abuse and held up well after 10 years or so I’m guessing ! I’m kinda worried though . I’ve gotten chosen for jury duty and even though I’ve gotby kurt wag - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Gary That’s a terrible story to read ! We see it on the news a lot but until it touches some one close it really doesn’t hit home . I’m glad his mother has a nice keep sake .by kurt wag - I'm just sayin'
I’ll be excited to see Gary Glad you’re somewhat back in the saddle too !by kurt wag - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Merry Christmas to y’all Sorry to hear about your son . Also it’s always a hustle and bustle this time of year . Stay warm and have a piece of fruit cake for me ! Mmmmby kurt wag - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Gary Those look very nice and delicate. The stamped/ pressed images look VERY detailed. Even being in aluminum that’s a pretty filled in pine tree . I use this scribe / etcher in a machine at work . It’s a plunge cutter but doesn’t really remove steel but pushes it to the side . Then the printing is embossed onto the structural steel shapes . I really struggle with it breaking allby kurt wag - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Gary Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday dear Gary Happy birthday to you! It sounds better when I sing it ! Haha Ps: Sorry so lateby kurt wag - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Gary and Kelly I and my family would like to wish you a happy Turkey Day . I’ve personally been going thru a lot lately as I’m sure others are too I still try to find (by kurt wag - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Great idea Gary It’s great that the sea turtle project had opened new ideas !by kurt wag - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Pedro Sorry you’re having such a hassle retrieving your package . It truly doesn’t make any sense. I watch a tv show called “ To catch a smuggler “ It’s mainly airports but also customs . They don’t hesitate to just open packages and tape back up . I don’t know why they wouldn’t just open it if they’re THAT concerned. Hopefully it’s not lost for you and Gary . It can bby kurt wag - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Gary That’s amazing work you do . I’m happy you also have a venue to showcase your talents .by kurt wag - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Gary Thanks a bunch for the opportunity to own a special Barnes product . Now I’ll have one for each hand and each pocket . Things always balance out for me . Maybe I’ll change my name to “ Even Steven “ haha Hopefully your day is tolerable Take care my friend !by kurt wag - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Howdy Gary Those are some great looking projects. I know in my head the fit and finish is the hardest but you do it so well . Can’t waitby kurt wag - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Guyz I’ve never had a migraine but can imagine they are VERY debilitating! I can barely handle a regular headache.by kurt wag - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Howdy all Gary that looks like a great pressing for sure . I love the acorns especially the way they bunch up in there . I’m sure something not many really appreciate is the actual shape of the case itself. Beyond trying to do the fancy carving of the die itself and THEN transfer it to a separate piece … I truly admire the shaping of the case itself .
