I need a source for plain steel #6 and #8 wood screws (oval head, slotted). Trying to fine them at Horrible Depot won't fly. Anyone have enough to sell me a few I'd be happy to accomodate that idea.

Bolt depot .com is a good seller as is lightingstainless on ebay they both carry many items not found at any of the big box or chain hardwares.
 
My local Ace , A big one , only carries Phillips head. Thanks for the tip about burning off the plating.

You might want to hold your breath while burning off plating. Or use a respirator. Often, those fumes are quite toxic (e.g., zinc). Besides, an easier way to remove at least a galvanized plating is just to stick them in a jar of white vinegar over night. A lot of people use muriatic acid, but vinegar has always worked well for me and is both cheap, easily available, safe, and easy to work with.

I agree that it's seriously annoying that "hardware" stores don't carry anywhere near a full range of hardware (especially screws in smaller sizes with hex, Torx, square, etc. heads).
 
Dixie Gun has an assortment 25 for 4.99 plus shipping, I'll post more when they show up.
