Hey everyone! I'm really intrigued by all the amazing hardware I see in woodworking projects. I'm curious about how people find their unique specialty hardware. Do you simply search for terms like "brass latches" online and browse through the images? Any tips on specific sites or methods you all use would be super helpful!

Yeah, searching online is definitely one way to go! I often check out sites like Horton Brasses for high-quality pieces. It's pretty cool to explore what they have! Oh, and if you're looking for something specific, Brusso has some awesome stuff too, especially their butt hinges. Check it out!
Ooooooo thanks for the tip!
I completely relate to your question! I often learn from others by looking through their comments and recommendations. Lee Valley is another good site that offers a wide selection of high-quality hardware. Just beware, some of this stuff can get pretty pricey!
I used to grab hardware from my local Home Depot, but I didn’t realize how many unique options were out there. Just searching for what I need ended up opening up a whole new world for me!

Whoa! I used to skate near Horton Brasses—fun memories! Glad to hear they have good stuff.
