I'm surprised I'm asking this question, but I'm having a hard time finding nice Slotted Oval Head Machine Screws. I need them to reattach the doors on my Menemsha. I could use Philips, but, that just doesn't sit well with me.
Can anyone recommend a place that won't make me buy a box of 100!
Thanks,
Perry

I've always found what I needed at Ace Hardware. Lowes and Home Depot don't have much especially in stainless.

You could try West Marine if there is one close to you

I have a HUGE stash of old Whaler SS slot head wood screws and machine screw/bolts, all removed from three old Whalers, a '71, a 75 and a 79. Literally, any size that Whaler ever used.
I was going to catalog and package them up, and offer the whole lot for sale here.(in the next month or so).
But if you let me know the size(s) and number you need, I can send some off to you to get your job done.

I've often found a box of fifty less expensive than just four or five from my local hardware store and that includes the shipping.

$12.20 highest price for a box of 100.
$12.10 highest for a box of 50.
Plus shipping.
I have a few here will be glad to send you some. What size x length?

I would personally like to thank you for that link ! I have it bookmarked and I'm sure I'm going to use it. I was very very impressed with the variety of stuff they have. Again. Thank you for the link.

McMaster-Carr is one of my favorite online shopping sources. Not always the least expensive option but they've got one heck of a selection of just about all things for projects and tinkerers.
