Hardware / screws

[02blues]

Looking for some "nice" screws. Solid / flathead? something that looks better than a zinc phillips
to hold my cleat on the underside of the bed...?

Custom Service Hardware
Mcfeely's

CSH offers a broad selection of hardware, McFeely's probably offers an even broader selection, with the ability to order in smaller quantities.

Jamestown Distributors is a marine supply house. They will have brass, bronze, stainless, copper rivets and roves, etc... Worth checking out.

I've had good luck with McFeely's. Reasonably priced and wide selection of types.

Another vote here for McFeely's. You might also check out Lee Valley, they have a lot of decorative screws and hardware.

Finding slotted screws is a bit challenging nowadays. I hunt and peck through a local industrial supply for the slotted screws. Usually they are plated in which case I throw them in some muriatic acid for a minute and then some gun bluing.

John,

If the screws will be hidden, then I really like these from McFeely's. http://www.mcfeelys.com/product/0811-WAL/Round-Washer-ProMaster-Saw-Tooth-Dry-Lube-Screws

The saw tooth design cuts the threads very well. They allow a very good bite with virtually zero chance of splitting, square head design. I get the dry lube style with washer head. These are NOT Kreg's. They are a much improved design over the Kreg screws.

I don't like screws and use them only when it makes sense - securing table tops and the like. The McFeely screws are what I use.

If the screws are visible or I'm going for a certain period look then I will use brass or decorative screws. :gar-Bi

BORG zinc screws just plain stink.

Well I found the #10 flat head Steel slotted wood screws 2 1/2 inches long at Kennedy Hardware from Indiana. Looks like a nice site.
