Default Where to get hardware (braces, hinges, etc..)

Where do you all get hardware for your projects? I sure ain't going to
Lowe's for stuff like that, and while I enjoy the selection that McFeeley's
offers, I'm underwhelmed by the quality at times. Where else can you get
corner braces, decorative hinges, brass face plates, stuff that isn't
manufactured by an oppressed Vietnamese.

As someone else noted, Lee Valley and similar are good for really,
really good stuff.

For the more ordinary kinds of things but good, woodworkershardware.com
is my choice for online distributor.

Well that was just what I was looking for.

Thanks. At least now my designs won't all resemble post-modernist
constructions.

Not sure what style you are looking for but Van Dykes has been a very
good source for me.

I'll keep them in my link list. Looks like it's unique stuff that isn't
really what I was after, but there's always the next project to consider.
