Hey Y'all, I just tried to order my usual supplies from the 2 places left to framers. Neither one of them had the C&H blades, the clear print sleeves, Scotch ATG or 1/2" x 4 pan head screws. Does anyone have a name of a new supplier other than 888 or FrameWare?
 
Check with Omega, Larson Juhl, or International. I have found that they carry anything I may need and I find the prices reasonable and generally higher quality in framing supplies - they may have a bit to be desired with some of their mouldings but the supplies are good.
 
For your #4 screws (and others) you may try a local - to you - wholesale fastener company. We opted for this and buy from a family owned place in Dallas that is far less than any framing supplier. Screws are offered in boxes of 100, 1000, and more.
 
United was always a good source for harder-to-find variations like Highland clear and frosted tape on 3" cores, and pan head screws 1/4"x4.
I'm really glad that Peter decided to produce Infinity Hangers for 888. If I couldn't get those anymore, I'd have to retire.
:cool: Rick
 
I get some stuff from Ook Industrial, as well. I really like their smaller 1 hole straps. Don't ask me why, but I like the rounder rather than the pointier hangers.
