Woodcraft Founded in Boston
Woodcraft was founded in 1928 when George Eaton and Richard Merrill opened a one-room shop in Boston where they sold new and rebuilt industrial woodworking machinery to professional cabinetmakers and to schools.In 1987, SBR, Inc., bought Woodcraft. SBR owner Sam Ross was an avid woodworker and a Woodcraft customer. Over the years Woodcraft has become the industry leader in providing a wide variety of top quality products, educational opportunities and one-on-one guidance to woodworkers of all skill levels. The company’s more than 20,000 products are sold at retail stores in over 70 major metropolitan areas across the U.S., through two million catalogs distributed annually in all 50 states and 117 countries, and online at Woodcraft.com. The first smaller sized retail store – Tool Box by Woodcraft – was opened in September in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Woodcraft also offers educational opportunities through classes and demos at the stores, how-to videos and articles online, and project, technique and product features in Woodcraft Magazine. Woodcraft is a major sponsor for two public television programs, Rough Cut – Woodworking with Tommy Mac, hosted by Tommy MacDonald and produced by WGBH Boston, and The American Woodshop, co-hosted by Scott and Suzy Phillips and produced by WGBU in Bowling Green, Ohio.
