. . . I use a same size steel screw first, the remove and install the
brass screw.
Those sound like words of wisdom, painfully earned.

‘Lo Pete,
https://www.boltdepot.com/ [1] You can get anything you want.
When using brass screws on anything, I use a same size steel screw
first, then remove and install the brass screw.
Cheers,
John

A larval galoot, aspiring someday to Full Galoolthood, I salute you
from the furthest western regions of the Great White North. I have
worked in wood for many years, recently - for reasons of sentiment,
compact workspace, as well as the dust and machine noise that
troubleth my much better half - I have turned to hand toolery.
My question is this - looking for a source of #3 brass screws for my
box hinges. Lee Valley used to carry them, I understand, but alas, no
longer. Brusso makes lovely little hinges and of course include screws
in the package. But by the time I ruin one and the Tomtens living in
the shavings under my bench make off with the other two I inevitably
drop … you can see where this is going.
Ideally, it would be Robertson, Phillips in a pinch. Common is the
cabinet maker’s standard but at the bottom of my list.
Thank you for your consideration, kind Galoots.
Any advice very much appreciated.
Pete
