    Source for Slot-Head Wood Screws

    I suspect I may not be the only one that refuses to put torx, philips, or square-drive screws into a reproduction project.  Slot-heads have gotten increasingly hard to find, and I'd resorted to buying the cheap 'n crappy Home Despot zinc-plated slot head screws and stripping the zinc with citric...

    18th Century Candlebox

    Does anyone happen to have an authentic 18th century candlebox that they could send me a couple of photos and rough dimensions of?  While a very simple item, it turns out that finding a picture of one of them in one of my antique books has been a challenge, though I've got tons of these. ...
