Quote:I know I need some bolts, but do I want a hex bolt, a cap screw, fully threaded, partially threaded, imperial, metric ????


Hopefully this site will help you identify the item you need for your project, or introduce you to items or techniques you where unaware of and spark ideas for the next project.

Quote:I know what they look like. I just don't know what they're called....

A library of browse-able images of hardware, tools, materials etc and a short description of them and alternate names would be a useful resource.
It would make tracking down supplies of the unusual, or something one has little firsthand knowledge of, much easier.

A place to share knowledge, aimed at the maker, in their living room, kitchen, bedroom or shed.

So, if you know about screws, or glues, or even paint hues, PM me and i'll send you and ID so you can get on the wiki and share your experience.]]>
