....you might want to check out SLOANS for a great assortment of short and dinky screws........most of their screws are of the phillips head type.......much easier to work with and respond well to magnetic tipped screwdrivers..most of my work is done useing 1/4 inch screws....im sure shorter are available.........however i have NEVER looked for anything smaller on their site. price is VERY reasonable and the shipping is fast.

Hello, When I have thinner woods and make wall hangings or crosses, I do not use the screw. I use super glue on the back of the hanger and a use a cotton swab to hold it against the metal part so that the glue does not come thru the screw hole and glue my finger to the wood. Do not ask me how I know this will happen. LOL I hope this helps.

I have been making the walls of my cedar boxes 3/8" thick because the smallest hinge screw I have found is 3/8" long. I need to look into those 1/4" screws at Sloans.Hegner Polymax- 3,Hegner Multimax-3,

I order all my small screws from Woodworking Tools and Supplies for Woodworking, Projects & Hobbys They have quite a few different sizes and are very fast at mailing their stuff out. Buy most all my clock inserts there too, and sawtooth hangers etc etc.

by JimernI dropped my subscription long ago, so maybe I should not chime in, but I dropped it mostly due to the pattern pull out.
I do not have a flat bed scanner, nor do I want one, so that is my issue.
But the result is that if I cut a pattern to scan, I have also cut the parts of...-
