WayneMahler Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Where is everyone getting their small brads and screws. I was getting mine from a company on eBay but can't find them right now. Also was a little disappointed in the quality of the screws. I use a lot of 1/2" stuff to attach hangers on the backs of my work. Saw tooth hangers, D-Rings and the like. I have found heavier pieces the brads don't work very well and will back out with vibration. So I am looking for a pace to order good quality fasteners in bulk. Thanks for any help and suggestions.

NC Scroller Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Like Dan I have used woodworkingparts.com for many years My only gripe is their shipping costs of kinda steep (I am very cheap) in my opinion so make sure you order all the items you need one shot.

Denny Knappen Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 As a custom frame shop, we use these everyday. You might check with a local custom frame shop to see if you can buy hardware from them. LarryEA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Wayne, I have no idea of how you feel about buying things from China, personally, I have no problem doing so. I order these smaller items like screw eyes sawtooth hanger and the like, from the Alibaba site which is one of the largest retailers on the net. My last purchase was for 1/8" screw eyes, 1000 silver colored and 1000 gold colored. All toll it cost me $25.00 with shipping included, that works out to be just a whisker more than $.01 per piece. Locally it cost me $2.49 for a pack of ten, with this much of a price difference, I had no choice but to buy from China. It doesn't take long for the items to arrive, I think the longest I've ever waited was ten days. That's not bad, seeing as how it takes that long or better to get an item from the states. Check it out, it could save you a lot of money. Len Phantom Scroller and ChelCass 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clayton717 Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Like a couple others I have used woodworkingparts.com but I have a local place that sells a lot of the stuff I use including wood wheels and dowel rods cheap. They also have a web site which is http://www.bayerwood.com/. not sure about their shipping rates as they are 20 minutes from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
