Thanks for featuring a Dennis Priddy Rifle. It is about time he received some recognition for his work. I bought his personal trade gun, which inspired him to build the gun you featured. Mark Nienhouse
I am so proud of the amazing work my brother does. His attention to detail to unbelieveable. He deserves a lot more recognition than he gets for the time he puts into these guns.
Dennis Priddy is a master artisan. You cannot fully appreciate his work without seeing it in person. His guns are truly works of art. Lucky is the person who owns one.
When Robert Weil started collecting images for the Contemporary Makers book in 1973 the challenge to record contemporary gun work was daunting. Gathering material was difficult and time consuming. Few makers thought that there was any value in published documentation of their work. Electronic publishing has changed all that. Having a website or having one's work available to view on the internet is becoming a necessity. In spite of all the potential to finally have a true overview of what's being produced by the artists of today, a great deal of work still remains covered up and basically unknown. Our role is to make an effort to document some portion of what’s going on today. To comment on the established makers and to uncover the unknown. We welcome your comments and suggestions and look to you our readers to make us aware of the talented makers out there. Art and Jan Riser Robert Weil and The Makers
Remarkable metal work on an interesting contemporary piece. Great attention to detail
