2023 marks 45 years since Sharon and I first opened our store across the street from our present location. We are happy to still be in business and operating successfully with a senior staff that has been with us for a very long time.
We are thrilled to announce that woodworking classes have resumed at our Atlanta store. To the right is a list of what's scheduled this spring. Please check back via our website as we are still adding classes to this schedule.
I have been thinking of compiling a history of Highland Woodworking's nearly half century of service to woodworkers. To kick things off, here is a link to a page that gives a brief account of how we got started, and shares some of what's been happening ever since.

Leigh Jigs come in a variety of models and allow woodworkers to cut custom-designed through dovetails on a production basis. With a Leigh Jig, you design a piece of furniture and then fit the jig to the design, rather than being constrained to the limited number of stock widths that suit conventional fixed templates.
