Second Gear began in West Asheville, and has been the local neighborhood consignment gear shop for over ten years. We opened our doors for business in the spring of 2003 in what is now part of Harvest Records' expanded store space. Shortly thereafter we moved across the street to 444 Haywood road, and have been there ever since! We've enjoyed steady growth, and have been steadily improving our operations and systems. For example, we recently got a new web-based consignment software, which allows us to show our inventory online in real-time at www.secondgearwnc.com. This means that as items are entered into the system or marked as sold, they are reflected as such instantly on the website! With this new software it is also possible to see which store an item is located in! As a business, we strive to create a win-win-win scenario, in which our consignors, customers, and we win. Our consignors win because they find a home for their gear that they no longer need to use, and they find a good price for their items as they sell. Our customers win through the monthly discounts, in which every month something doesn't sell it gets 10% cheaper, up to the point where it could be half off! We win because we get to continue to serve the Asheville community, and like customers and consignors through our business. Our most recent growth has allowed us to consign more items, and has allowed for continued improvement of our store space and facilities. Three years ago we expanded two be twice as big in the West Asheville location, at 444 Haywood Road. The now renovated space has more square footage, higher ceilings, and more natural light - all combining to give the customer an improved experience in the shop. Feel free to share feedback with us so we can continue to improve as one of Asheville's many unique small businesses. And thanks for stopping by, and/or consigning with us!

I wish to slowly build a small business in metal craft, using both ferrous and nonferrous metals to create objects of adornment, as well as a multitude of useable items, tools and architectural ironwork. I see myself operating through commission work, internet sales, gallery sales, and an occasional retail craft show. As I have a few years of intense study in the field of metalsmithing, both in ferrous and nonferrous at various institutions, including Earthspeak Arts in Asheville, NC, John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC, Haywood Community College in Clyde, NC, and Penland School of Craft, Penland, NC, I wish to practice my chosen skill further. I have a passionate connection to metal working and find it fulfilling to look towards a future of creating metal work for my financial support, happiness and connection to others.
