Ever try to find slotted wood screws? Hard ain't it, what? you don't want them? Phillips ??? Robertsons??? ECCH!!! Real Woodworkers insist on Slotted Wood Screws. See an old piece and try to reproduce but use Drywall screws to assemble? Phillips head Bugle screws to put together tops and such or pocket screws for the Kreg but the Slotted screw is a rare breed now days. Fastenal (http://www.fastenal.com/) has them but I am not sure how long they will still carry those slotted screws. Although they are stamped out rather than machined but a close substitute. I am working on a 1912 Wood Body Model T Ford and Phillips is out of the question as it was invented in 1935, much later than the car I am building.
Just ordered several sizes to restore my stash. If I see a jar full of screws at a yard sale or such, I snatch them up. Who knows when they will be instinct.
