Besides, a brass screw is obviously designed to be seen in this context, so should only be slotted. I won't use pozidriv where they're likely to be seen. Solid brass. I broke 2 off out of the first 4 (one of those rare times when my Dremel is invaluable) before I gave up and went down the shed to find some slotted brass screws. As for the look of the screws - I can't say I am particulary bothered by what head is on them as long as they match! Darren |

The alternative if brass screws aren't suitable is to cover the nasty screws with wood plugs carefully cut from as close to the original grain as possible. -- *When blondes have more fun, do they know it?
