Anybody can recommend a smith that could do a bobtail mod on a 1911 in SE WI?

Did he do one for you?

Todd does great work, but he's a bit far - it would be 4 hours back and forth for me. Wasn't he going to open a shop in west Bend? Has he done a bobtail job?

Bring it over to Saukville and we'll do it in my garage.  I've got beer on tap so no need to bring anything.

WECSOG FTW!

A sturdy drill press with a vise would help. I'm tempted to do it myself, but not willing to fuck it up. Drilling a new MSH pin hole is what's holding me back right now. I'm willing to buy the drilling jig.

I have a drill press and an x-y vise.  Worst case I've also got a welder...

Screw it, I'm emailing Todd. I could probably get by doing it myself, but want it to look store bought, and that would require more equipment than I have or could possibly get to.

I have never had him do 1911 work for me, but I know it's kind of his "thing". He has done lots of other stuff for me, all top notch stuff.
