[TheForge] sex bolts

Wed Nov 20 06:31:00 2002

        Roger,  We ran into a similar problem when making a stainless gate
hardware.........we couldn't find stainless sex bolts and ended up machining
them out.
        If you are going with cabinets and the load isn't that
great.......can you go with the knife handle bolts? as they go out to
3/4-1"?  (folks like Koval knife sell them)  I also ordered some parts from
McMaster Carr and they carried them also........but I forget what sizes.
They happened to be something I came across in the catalog when looking for
something else..........which happens a lot with that catalog.   :-)
        And of course if you come up with a supplier, I'd like to know about
it,  if you don't mind.

Ralph
