lampworked drawer pulls and knobs

Does anyone have a source for the internally threaded inserts that go into drawer pulls and knobs? I could get the refill kit, but $36.00 for 12 seems a bit pricey. Thanks in advance.

Try Lee Valley Hardware (probably at

or one of the catalogs that offer supplies for wood turners. Check on rec.crafts.woodturning for a list.

The price you give sounds way high to me. You can get hanger bolts, with one threaded end for the knob and another, differently-threaded end for the drawer quite economically, like well less than a dollar each, and they come in multiple lengths.

If you live in or near a big city, try finding a McMaster-Carr warehouse. They are like a combination of WWGrainger and HomeDepot. They have almost any little fastener and the like....

Also you may find what you want in HomeDepot's hardware aisle. Look in the section where the specialty fasteners are...usually a bunch of drawers with all sorts of "stuff"
