welcome
I don't know of any place near where you live, but Lee Valley (www.leevalley.com) will happily ship worldwide. If you use Lee Valley, you'll probably find that shipping via the US postal service offers the best combination of price vers time.

Hi S M W D, (I hope I've spelt that correctly!), Rockler (www.rockler.com) also sell every possible style of keyboard tray and slides and I get their goodies in a few weeks so it should be even quicker for you, Fletty

I'd rate Lee Valley just ahead of Rockler for hardware. (Its a pretty cut-throat market)
The difference to me seems to be that Rockler are always changing their stock lines where Lee Valley seem to put a bit more research into their goods & have as good or better price on a like item - I think Rockler are buying on a 'best price for given quantity' basis & if an item is a slow seller they dump it for another manufacturer's product & 'door opener' discount (this is pure speculation, no crystal balls were harmed in making this up)
and I'm not a relative of Rob Lee as far as either of us knows.

More than one way to skin a cat!
Hi there in Ireland,
Having trouble with this contraption tonight this is the third time I have tried to post, so now you get the short sweet version.
We're "Down Under" so yes sometimes things are weired but they work. Lots of my supplies are from Bulk Rubbish Collections.
I take drill/Screw driver with me at all times. I've collected screws, wood, handles, hinges etc. I can assure you I am fussy about the condition of what I collect!
Best FREE "hardware store" you can find.
check out my web page.

Waste makes me sick to the stomach, so I recycle as much as possible, 90% of my furniture is completely recycled....encasement method..check it our you will be pleasently surprised.
Bet you can find rollers for what you want. But sorry don't know if you have similar type of rubbish runs....just a thought... I am sure lots of other woodworks have at some time done the same thing.
Regards Lady-Woodworker.....alias KEKEMODon't think you're playing it safe by walking in the middle of the road.....that's the surest way to get hit by traffic coming from both ways!
I'm passionate about woodwork.......making Sawdust again & loving it!
