Hello Gentlemen
Hoping someone knows of a good all around smith in the Vilas/Iron/Price county of Wisconsin. Having just moved here would appreciate a good all around smith in the area. The nearest I know of is over 2 hours away, which at my age seems a long way ti go just to have some holes drilled and tapped, etc.
Don't mind going the distance for the specialists.
THANK YOU
Mike B.

Ahhhhh yes the legendary Boulder Junction area....

those smiths listed are all good smiths but two are in southern Wisconsin and one east/central......spend some time in one of the bars.....any one.....most of the patrons/drunks are gunsmiths.. or outdoor writers.

Mike:

Dennis Potter is certainly top of the line, but he's a long way from where you are. You might try giving Pete Day a call. He's very knowledgeable and located just down in Rhinelander. He can probably steer you to someone in the area who can do your work for you. Anybody who shoots 16 ga Lefevers can't be all bad!!!

His phone number is 715-362-3402.

Where are you located?

Have you tried either of these search engines?

Both Potter and Lomas are well known.

Gentlemen
I thank you one and all. Hoping to find someone locally handy.
Any and all help appreciated!

Roy
I live near Mercer these days, but used to live near Dennis Potter, a great smith and a fine gentleman. A fellow I worked with shot with him and said he was pretty good at shooting as well as fixing and building guns!
