Thanks Plecth, keep them coming if you have more. Too long of a trip for me right now.

Steve and I worked together on this. My connection is faster than his, so I will load his. Up loading to photobucket on a dialup is a pain. As soon as i get Steve's here we'll get you a bunch more. He has some cool stuff, I think.

Larry,

The unknown gun that you have between Silver and Price is the work of Bobby Denton. A few other pics of his work is shown a bit down the list.

Great seeing you and everyone else at the show.

Dave,
Thank you for the help identifing the photo. I'll add Bobby's name this morning. I appreciate any other additions or corrections where I didn't get a name. I know my photography job was spotty in covering the event. I got so busy talking with friends that I'd forget I had a camera with me. BTW, Dave, I'll experiment with interview files this week and see how that works. I like your suggestion.

Regards,
Pletch

Larry, Thank you for posting the pictures. A lot of breath taking workmanship!!
Who made the pistol with the bear buttcap and fancy wire inlay? Any more pictures of that pistol?

Best regards

THat's the only one I have . Steve may have more; I haven't seen his yet. With any thought, I would have taken the name card too. But, I didn't. I'm still trying to figure out how to cover the whole show with pics. Maybe you get 4-5 guys and wach take a section. I don't know.

Pletch,
I will volunteer to be a camera man, have cameras, if you want to give it a try. I even thought about a video.

I would pay for a catalog of the show...could photograph every table, note the location and who's it was, and take advance orders for a copy on CD...and maybe make it available to the public at large as well...I wonder if the CLF would back something like that?

Don't they have official photographers at the show? That is the great thing about the Blade Show. They now have both Point Seven Studios and Sharp By Coop set up to snap gorgeous "glamour shots" of your handiwork.

If there ever was a show that could be well served by such a service, CLA is it!!!!

I believe that one is by Wm. Buchele. I took pictures of all the pistols including the bio cards on the makers. Will post separately.

Everyone has shared pictures of great builders and great guns!Thanks! I could not make to the CLA show because my oldest daughter got married on Aug 15Th ! Man you talk about poor timing! Gosh the first day of squirrel season and the House Brothers raffle! I told her enjoy the wedding I will be hunting squirrels with my new House Brothers ML in the downtown Lexington park! Well that did not happen but the wedding went off without a hitch and I am the proud of my daughter and new son! I have been looking at all the wonderful pictures of builders with there masterpieces and cant find any pictures of the up and coming builder Marvin Kemper! He is doing some great work! Someone please post some pictures of his exquisite creations!

Thanks!

It was nice to see some close-up photographs of Tom Patton's table. He had exchanged a few e-mails with me and expressed his interest in having a table at this years show. Well done Tom! I wasn't able to make the meeting so it sure is nice to be able to see some photos. Thanks to all who took photos and shared them with the rest of us.

chapmans · « **Reply #19 on:** August 28, 2009, 03:56:31 PM »

Thought I would post some more CLA pics, just random shots taken throughout the show.

I'll post a few more later, Steve Chapman

chapmans · « **Reply #21 on:** August 28, 2009, 08:51:03 PM »

Here are the remainder of the ones Larry uploaded for me, thanks Larry

That's all for now!!!!

Larry Pletcher · « **Reply #22 on:** August 29, 2009, 06:10:19 PM »

In this recent group of pics that Steve took there are a couple that stand out:

Check out the photo of the tang screw head of the Chambers pistol.

The pic of the Kunz pistol shows a good look at his checkering.

The close-up of the goat on Acer's barrel is cool. I was wishing for a tripod, Steve came up and got the shot hand held. get a look at Acer's muzzle decoration too.

Pletch
