The Bolt Depot Indude!
I found the web site comfortingly organized and useful, however, the sample 
round head wood screws I ordered to consider as Steinway hammer flange 
screws were some of the sloppiest, unattractive examples I've seen in quite 
some time.  Very disappointing.  Anyone have a good supply of high quality 
round head wood screws?
