WOW.. I am a maker / craftsman in Fine Quality items of this period and have wished for years there was a place where the makers and their items and the end user all came together and done in the right way.. THIS SITE IS AWESOME ! MY COMMENDATIONS TO ITS CREATOR..AND TO ALL THE GREAT CRAFTSMEN WHO SHOW THEIR WORK HERE. I will hope to have some of my work shown here someday. It was a wonderful way to spend saturday afternoon at the coffee shop on my laptop , looking thru all this site has to show and offer.
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
