where can i buy chicago screws...

[SkaerE]

in bulk. i have no urge to spend $0.50 a piece from Texas Knife. I want either brass or stainless, no aluminum. (aluminum is the only kind i can find at the local Home Crapot or Blowes.

any place else to look?

thanks

Um... Chicago?

Just kidding.

Have you tried machinist shops and hobby stores that sell remote controlled planes and all that kind of stuff? Also, take a look into a machinist magazine - they may have supplier ads that could help.

Any Tandy leather store or their online web site.
