I'm rebuilding my 20th century laurel oak stove I live in New Hampshire and my local tin worker said he could roll me the barrel but could not make the flange on top and bottom, dose anyone know of a place in new england that can make me a new one, any help would be great

Contact Skip, of Wilsons Woodstoves. He is a member here. He has a very talented sheet metal fabrication guy.

You need more than a tin worker. Look for a steel fabrication shop.

Or, at least a tin knocker who knows how to use a hammer and dolly.

Check this guy out and his gallery, very personable and inexpensive. He told me he could roll me a fire pot to my liking in about 15 minutes while I wait, one man home shop.

Wilson made a few repairs on my G109, he even had a new barrel rolled for me. Outstanding work!

I have found there is a sliding scale in skilled trades. A real fabricator might charge 125 an hour and be done in 15 minutes a hack gets 25 and 3 days so what makes the most sense. Not paying for the education makes the most sense to me. There are forming machines that can make that flange in minutes not days and no hammer and dolly needed.
