I needs some little bitty wood screws: No. 1 by short (1/4", 3/8") in
*steel* (or stainless). The only ones I can find this small are brass
(available locally at a couple places down to No. 0!). Anyone know where
to find such things?

Already checked Small Parts, MicroMark, McMaster, etc., etc. Google
gives a ****ing mess: screw mfgrs. from Lahore, India, bogus "blogs"
with no information, clueless clockmaker sites with no information,
etc., etc.

The last time I needed some tiny stuff I found it at a hobby store.
Have you looked there?
