A Shopping Trip - bandit571 - 12-20-2024
The other day, while finishing up a project..was having a hard time finding the right hardware....was getting a bit too low...so..
A trip to the Hobby Lobby Store up in Lima, OH. was made...$22 and change later...hauled a bag of "goodies" back home...
Inventory?
Always in need of handles..
[attachment=53308]
Different types of wooden knobs..
[attachment=53309]
Or...
[attachment=53310]
Both styles need a tenon stuck in them...<1/4" dowels work...
Pegs, anyone?
[attachment=53311]
Fancy Brass corners?
[attachment=53312]
Wrap the entire corner, or..
[attachment=53313]
Just a Heart....
Hinges were about out in the shop, so..plain or fancy?
[attachment=53314]
Or special ones?
[attachment=53315]
Latches? The kind that rotates?
[attachment=53316]
Or the kind with a flip tab..
[attachment=53317]
Like the last one I used for the Resaw Box Project....
That should do for a while...you think?

At the rate you build boxes, that inventory won't last long.

Hobby Lobby is a store that I will not patronize under any circumstances.

Your loss, means more hardware for me.....
RE: A Shopping Trip - bandit571 - 12-26-2024
While in Lowes the other day..I picked a Plastic Storage Box to hold all the Hardware in...instead of just a pile of small baggies....
I also picked a Tap & Drill bit set....1/4" x 20
Then down their Hardware Aisle, and picked up a pair of Thumbscrews to match the tap..
And a few cheap Paint brushes....

Old way of storing Hardware...
[attachment=53391]
Was a plastic drawer...New way?
[attachment=53392]
Makes things a lot better, sorting through bags of parts....Will be transferring parts from the old way over to the new way later...
Meanwhile...
[attachment=53393]
I needed to get these installed....
Currently..there is a $25 Gift Card in my pocket....trying to decide what to use it on.....
Stay tuned...
BTW: Hobby Lobby is about 35 miles Northwest of me....I can go there and be back with my Hardware supplies in a single day. I am sure others would rely on OnLine sources...I do NOT have a PayPal account anymore, since it has been hacked twice in the last 3 years....and 3 CCs ago...

Hobby Lobby is about the same distance for me. I have to admit my wife likes the store but I only was in the store once this year. I would never of thought to look there for hardware. So thank you for the tip. I will remember it.

Never been in a Hobby Lobby....I do get close to one frequently, guess I better check it out.
Thanks for the tip bandit!

Why?
I know the owners are religious.

Why should that make a difference?
