About Us

McFeely’s was founded in 1978 by William J. McFeely III (hence the name). We originally sold domestic and exotic hardwoods to local recreational and professional wood workers.

As the business grew, millwork services were offered along with an ever increasing variety of lumber. By 1985, McFeely’s Hardwoods and Lumber (as it was then known) was also carrying top quality hardware for its local woodworkers – including the virtually unknown Square Drive Screw.

Tragedy struck in October of 1985 when the founder was killed in an industrial accident at the shop. Initially, the business continued to concentrate on hardwood lumber sales to its existing customers, however over time the product line evolved into a supplier of fasteners and wood working tools; including the famous Square Drive Screws.

By the Fall of 1986, Square Drive Screws were featured in our newsletters. In the Autumn of 1990, lumber operations were shut down to allow complete concentration on the growing Mail Order operation.

McFeely’s published its first full color catalog in the Fall of 1991. It has been gradually refined over the years with the help of customer suggestions and comments.

Widely regarded by our customers as one of the best sources of woodworking information, as well as Square Drive Screws and other hardware, our catalog was honored in 1995 at The American Catalog Awards with a Gold Award in the hardware division.

Since then, the McFeely's catalog has been widely honored and successful. We strive to provide the best service and best products for woodworkers.
