    Does anyone know where I can get thumb screws for a reasonable price? I see on Ebay there is someone selling them but the price may get out of range of what I'm willing to part with for 2 wing nuts!

    go to raised knurled head screws, or for wing nuts, i think its wing screws. they have brass. if for some reason you cant find what you need, i probably have a couple you can have. this place has the best metric assortments in the business, ive been buying from them for years, they have never let me down. they even have knoor washers. heres a secret...they sell hazet tools...cheap, but you have to specify hazet, or they will send you Gedore or some other German substitute. they have several locations across the country, i think the main warehouse is in chicago.
