If you aren’t familiar with Rockler, they are one of the most well-known woodworking retailers in the industry. It wasn’t long after I started woodworking that I discovered my local Rockler stores. I lived in Temecula, CA at the time and I had two options: either traveling north to Ontario or south to the San Diego store. Both trips took about an hour but the Ontario store was near the Ontario Mills Mall. PERFECT! Nicole would get lost in her retail heaven and I would get lost in mine. I would literally walk each and every aisle several times, just soaking it all in. I am not exaggerating when I say these trips were “events” that I always looked forward to.

Since then, I have relied on Rockler countless times for hardware, finishes, and all kinds of supplies. And now that my business model has changed, I am fortunate enough to do business with them in a slightly different way. We have been a Rockler affiliate for years now and just recently, Rockler began offering a 10% discount to Wood Whisperer Guild members.

As many of you know, without sponsorship relationships with companies like Powermatic and Rockler, I wouldn’t be able to provide as much free content as I do. So I hope you will join me in welcoming Rockler to our little family.
