Rockler Woodworking & Hardware goes back to 1954 when Norton Rockler started the Minnesota Woodworkers Supply Company in north Minneapolis. It was a small mail-order business with a big aspiration – to become woodworkers’ go-to resource for everything they need to complete their projects.

Since then, they’ve grown into an industry-leading woodworking and hardware source with a nationwide chain of stores and international reach through our catalogs and website. Although Rockler has changed alongside the woodworking technologies, a lot has stayed the same. Throughout their history, Rockler has been a family-owned business – and in business, as with family, relationships are important. We still work with many of the same vendors whose products appeared in our catalogs decades ago.
