Hardware, sources and 3D models

Curious what hardware folks are using, and where they are sourcing it.

I buy some from the local Woodcraft

and local Ace Hardware and True Value hardware stores

and have ordered a fair bit from Lee Valley

and Rockler

and D. Lawless

Haven’t been able to bring myself to buy Brusso yet — my inclination is to make it myself rather than pay those prices.

And, of course, we’ve started carrying some in our shop:

Current project needs a couple of things, so modeling hardware.

Here in S. California there is a hardware store called McFadden-Dale, it’s my “go to” for hardware.

They have stuff in stock that the local Home Depot doesn’t even know about.

Fasteners, bolts, screws, in sizes that other places won’t carry.

It’s like McMaster-Carr but you get to walk up and down the isles :smiley:

Not the cheapest, sometimes you pay more for quality.

They have tools and cutting tools also.
