Looking for a hardware source in Winnipeg

[rob love]

For the wood screws, go to a place that deals in restoration of antique furniture. They normally salvage all the screws off furniture that is too far gone to save.

As to finding slot drive non-chromated screws locally, you can just about forget it. I have one or two places in Saskatchewan and Alberta who have old stock of these kinds of things, and I normally buy a couple Hundred $$ worth each time I am through.

They can be ordered on line of course, google is your friend. So is ebay.

If you were a little closer Dave, I could likely help you out. I keep a reasonable (for a packrat) stock on the shelves.
