Waxalit and Spax

After reading the glowing reports on waxalit for glueups, and spax
screws for fastening, I've decided they both have a place in my next
project.
Unfortunately, I have no local supplier, and no one sells them both
online. Have to order one from one supplier, and the other from a second.

I hate paying two shipping/handling fees for small orders like this.
Adds 50% to the cost of the items.

Just venting.

Can't order clamps now... Not with the new besseys about to come out!

Thanks for that pointer William. They had a small selection, including
just what I needed.
