Tiny wood screws. Where to find?

Merkwurdigliebe · 03-January-08, 10:09 AM

No, the screw is made out of wood; it's meant to go INTO wood. It's about 6mm long (1/4") with a 4mm head. Anyone know where I can find some? I already checked the local small and mega hardware stores, and now checking "the internets."

It's off a 10"x10" wood cube I got real cheap because the other three screws were missing.

Perhaps a hobby website, miniatures, etc?

Failing this, I can just use glue or rivets.

In Home Depot, usually in the same aisle as the screws/bolts, they will have all types of hinges. Many of the small brass hinges have small screws like that if you can't find them loose.

You can also check any hobby/crafts store that sells parts for doll houses.

Build a lot of dollhouses DN?

Don't worry, your secret is safe with me...and several thousand PCApex members.

BTW...good call on the hinge aisle. I'd have made the same suggestion.

the ace hardware near me has screws all the way down to 2mm in a miniature screw bin, might wanna try there if you have one around, just a thought.

Never built one. I now about it due to a craft store called Pearl Paint that is near my house. I was looking for a new way to run some wires and hide them, particularly to power lights on the door. I came across this wire tape that they use in building doll houses that works just like a regular wire, but it's flat. Pretty neat stuff. I never used it though...

That is why I was in the doll house section and realized that they got teeny tiny versions of everything over there. I would go nuts working on one of those, my paws are too big.
