Highland Woodworking

Good fortune in the form of loyal customers and bright, hardworking sales people led to a prospering business which soon identified itself as a specialist in woodworking tools and supplies. Always committed to quality and value, Highland Hardware built a reputation as a source of reliable advice on the purchase and use of the tools it sold.

Part of Highland Hardware`s mission over the years has been to fan the flames of interest and excitement in the craft of woodworking, and contribute to its growth throughout the country.

In 1980, the company began a weekend woodworking seminar program, bringing to Atlanta the likes of Tage Frid, Sam Maloof, Roy Underhill and Michael Dunbar to teach students attracted from the Atlanta area and around the country. The first seminars were held in the basement of the original store. When Highland Hardware renovated a larger store building across the street in 1984, the seminars moved into an old warehouse behind the new store.

Thousands of woodworkers endured the hard, splintery bleachers and drafty conditions of that rustic facility to spend weekends with Mark Duginske, Toshio Odate, Rude Osolnik, Dale Nish, Ernie Conover, and numerous other gifted teachers.

Today our customers include modern artists and accomplished woodturners, as well as studio furniture designers, heirloom craftsmen and professional cabinetmakers. Perhaps numbering more than any other category, men and women with a small shop in their basement or garage have come to depend on Highland Hardware for quality tools, sound advice and fast, reliable service.
