If you are starting with an unthreaded fork, verify that your stem will fit down in it. It may not have been reamed to accept a standard quill stem. If you are starting with a threaded fork, any good bike shop should have the correct die and piloted handle to extend the threads.
If I were still there, I bet I could find several bike shops within a couple miles that could do this. My old shop (B&H Cycle in South Pasadena) had this tool. I don't know if anyone there would know what to do now, though.
