Warrigal 23rd January 2002, 02:19 PM Can anyone tell me where I can get manufactured table clips from. ie: Clips made from steel used to hold a table top to its base. To be mainly used on coffee tables.
I currently use wooden buttons that I make in the workshop or table clips fashioned from flat stel rod but am looking for an easier less time consuming source. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I live in Sydney.
Many thanks
Gary
Kev Y. 23rd January 2002, 03:01 PM Gary, if you are refering to the clips that resemble two flat washers joined together, then any decent hardware store SHOULD stock them, I needed some myself to finish a project just after christmas, picked them up from my local "home hardware" store. think they cost about 20c each.

Warrigal 23rd January 2002, 03:09 PM Hi Brudda,
Unfortunately the two joined washer thing isn't it. (I don't think it is anyway) The clips in question are regulary used by Freedom and other large commercial furniture stores. One end of the clips fit into a slot cut into the table base frame, say 10mm from the top edge and the other end is screw up into the underside of the table top. (I hope this isn't too confusing.
Cheers
Gary

John Saxton 23rd January 2002, 08:32 PM Stoppers,arn't they referred to as "buttons"?

Shane Watson 23rd January 2002, 10:11 PM I think Gary is referring to the top one rather than the figure 8 clip.

Check your yellowpages under Cabinet Makers' Supplies.
Or have a look at this search I just did in the yellowpages website. Any of them should be able to help.

ok, looks like you will need to cut&paste all that crap into your browser. By the way, that pic was scanned from the latest Lincoln Sentry cattledog....
Cheers!
