We flied north to visit family in Olympia. Yesterday, we had the idea to drive to Portland for Voodoo Donuts. A great opportunity for a fishing rod builder like me to visit some manufacturers. I genuinely wanted to tour Lamiglas' facility, ask questions, and purchase some blanks. From the moment we walked in the front door, it was made abundantly clear that we were unwanted there, or at bare minimum...a nuisance. I was prepared to walk out of their facility with at least two purchases. Nobody was attending their showroom, so I had to ask the front desk secretary if they had someone whom could answer a few questions about blanks. After waiting for ten minutes, they sent me some kid whom had nearly zero knowledge of their products. He had to break out a catalog. They offered me no literature, made me ask about prices which weren't on the blanks, and generally just ran me out of there. I told a fellow builder about my experience...to which he told me they went through some ownership change in the past couple of years...and that things had really gone downhill. Don't waste your time going into this place! read more
