We're in the thick of late spring here in Portland. Outside our shop windows, the hills are impossible shades of green. The city is in full bloom, our gardens smell of fresh mulch, and our trails are lined with wood violets. I hope—wherever you are today—that your allergies are just as horrific as mine. Worth it.
Also blooming right now are the Firsthand shop shelves. We've received all sorts of goods that are now in stock in the store. More items are on the way, but—next time you pick up your Reynolds bits—take a look through our supplies. We've got hole saws, files, abrasives, new welding and brazing products, and more.
Everything in our shop is brand-name and the best quality in its class. All of our goods come from reputable, privately-owned manufacturers who make the products they sell. And our pricing is based strictly on a reasonable percentage markup. All of that equals simplicity. Just good stuff, ready to ship alongside your Reynolds tubing.
Stay tuned... We'll be adding more tools and supplies soon.
Lastly, I wanted to thank those of you who've been placing orders with us. We've been up and running for almost six months now, and I'm super encouraged by the response this effort has received thus far. We have a ton of fun projects (and big announcements!) on the horizon. Should make for a solid summer.
