Questions regarding #8 wood screws!
rdowdy95:
Hey guys just got some questions about #8 wood screws. I found a good website online that sells them in boxes of 100.

They have 1/2", 1", 1 1/4", 1 1/2" and 2". They have some more as well. Hey the thing is they don't sell the 5/8" or the 1 1/8" screws. Any of you other guys using the Project Arcade book ever use the 5/8 or the 1 1/8" #8 screws?
Also anyone know any other websites that sell screws cheap. Home Depot is expensive. I pay $1.98 for ten. The site above has like 100 screws for $4.00.

I didn't need any 5/8" or 1 1/8" #8 screws when I built my cabinet off of the Project Arcade book plans. Also, I still have a pack of 100, 1" #8 screws that I didn't end up using.

I buy screws from Menards, but always in packs of 50 or more.
Good Luck on your cabinet.

Buy a box of drywall screws - they don't strip as easily. Plus, you'll get a box of 100 or so for a few bucks.
I think the 'two dollars for ten' screws are some specialty type that aren't meant for construction - because I bought wood screws at first and they weren't nearly that expensive.

Thanks guys. Those wood screws did pretty good for my saw board I made. Home Depot ain't going to rip me off on no screws!

Yeah, definately buy your wood screws in boxes by the pound, not in counted containers or out of the "one at a time" bin. Machine screws are a bit different, because you generally only need a handful of those at a time, but anything you use in bulk should be bought in bulk.
