Hello from Maine

[OldMaineWoodsman]

Happy Thanksgiving all!
Newbie here from the southern Maine area. I recently started a gunsmithing business after I graduated from a fairly basic smith school. I recently inherited a couple of muzzle loaders from my grandfather and have had a few come in the shop so i figured this would be a good forum to join for the wealth of knowledge!

Out of curiosity, which school/program did you attend?

I attended SDI gunsmithing program. I plan to take machining classes as well.

Good luck. Here is some advice, take some business management classes as well.

Welcome from Georgetown, ME. Glad to hear that you've opened up a gunsmithing business. All the old timers seem to have retired, died or moved on. PM me and give me more info on your endeavors.
