Instead, I just drive to the local hardware store and buy as needed: They don't have everything, but between their inventory and my disorganized collection of fasteners that I've accumulated over the year, the arrangement works well. If I need to order fasteners on eBay, I usually order 100 at a time. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com PO Box 272 http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Ben Lomond CA 95005-0272 Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558
