Is this the guy in Buena Vista? If so, I've talked to him on the phone and was very impressed just by the conversation. He also called me a few months later to follow-up and see if I was ready to buy yet. I'm still not, don't have a place to put the thing yet, but I'm definitely chomping at the bit to get one, and it'll be from him! I'm wanting a Liberty Franklin 50....the big, tall sumbitch.

Last I'd heard he was in the middle of setting up a new building and getting moved in. He also does chimney sweeping, IIRC. I found out about him here.
