sources of hardware

Thanks for all of the ideas! I ordered the hardware from Horton Brass.
They have a thorough and easy to browse website, and were great to deal with
on the phone (no menus...just a person answering the phone). Thanks again I
found just what I was looking for.

I usually start will Lee Valley and Rockler for my hardware. Get the Lee
Valley hardware catalog to keep around as a reference.
