Woodworkers have long flocked to Rockler to buy top-quality tools and jigs. (It also helps that the staff are generally skilled woodworkers themselves—knowledgeable, friendly, and more than happy to spend time chatting about the merits of dovetails versus box joints.) Many of the most sought-after items during Rockler’s Black Friday sale can only be found there, and not your big-box DIY store. We picked out a few of the best deals that will help take your wood shop to the next level.
