How about some photo submissions to freshen up the photo on the opening page of the gunsmithing forum? It would need to be re-sized, but I like this photo of our Scholarship Rifle being built...  Anyone else care to share a good gunsmithing photo? We've had quite a few good ones posted here lately. ______________________________ "Truth is the daughter of time." Francis Bacon | ||

With all due respect: While that is a great photo, it only shows the wood and not the metal, and it does not show action. Gunsmithing is the action of doing something to raw materials to make a desireable and functional tool. I think this photo just about says it all.  | |||

I like the old photograph of Al Linden whittling a blank with a hatchet but can't find it, maybe Michael Petrov has it. NRA Life Member, Band of Bubbas Charter Member, PGCA, DRSS. Shoot & hunt with vintage classics. | |||

22WRF, Great photo!!! The bandaid on the cracked and stained fingers is the finishing touch that puts it over the top. It says, "this is a real craftsman!" The anitque spoke shave is a nice touch as well.  An old man sleeps with his conscience, a young man sleeps with his dreams. | |||

Of course that is not my photo. That is Mr. Wiebe's photo of himself working on the Scholarship Rifle. | |||

If it wasn't for the fact that many of the finest smiths and artists on the planet post here this photo would be great.....

A old Linden photo would be great. Or how about some of Rem721's work?  ______________________ Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else. | |||

If there's something wrong with those two holes, what is it?
Absolutely. | |||

Something from the late Tom Burgess would be expecially appropriate. Sorry, I have no photo to offer. | |||

I'm told it's for a custom side mount. I'll Let Rem 721 fill in the details. I'm sure the cavalry will arrive shortly. ______________________ Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else. | |||

I like Forrest's picture a lot. If you want something vintage, then I am sure no one has more pictures than Mike Petrov. No telling what vintage gunmaking pics he has-Linden, G&H, Owen, who knows. I imagine he is still in Reno, so hopefully we could wait a few days to pick the pic. | |||

I did not go to Reno. If you want to go vintage you guys decide what you want and I'll see what I have. I should have pictures of all the major pre-war makers. | |||

Here's the deal. Either take a picture now "with permission" or use a picture of a dead guy, taken by a dead guy. Rich | |||

I've always liked this photo from Stephen R. Heilmanns web site. It's large so I'll just post a link. I'm sure most have seen it. http://www.metalandwood.com/im...0for%20Web%20010.jpg Kennedy looks like he'd be a fun guy, looks like a prankster in that last photo. ______________________ Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else. | |||
