[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 542501, member: 24624"] Brent, You make some good points. But, it is a free market and different smiths will stand out for a variety of reasons. ...good or bad I was referred to a top smith in the area about 2 yrs ago for a simple rebarrel job. I could hardly get the guy to return my calls to place the order. So, I quit trying to contact him. I figured that if he was too busy to take the order, then he wasn't going to communicate on down the road. I recently found out from the guy that referred me that he had to go elsewhere because the smith was slow and didn't communicate. I ended up buying my own lathe and haven't regretted it. It takes me as long or more so to do the work myself because I have a full time job and family. But, I always know where I stand. There are other smiths in this forum that I beleive do excellent work. They somehow find time to respond to questions and answer their phones. It's a choice they make in the way they do business and it either pays off or it doesn't. -- Richard [/QUOTE]
