    Default Domes of silence

    Hello all,
    I'm just about to finish a blanket chest and I'm short two domes of silence 38mm in diameter.

    Does anyone know where these can be purchased in Aus?

    Default Domes of Silence

    Hello SAISAY

    Domes of Silence are hammered to the bottom ends of the legs for easy movement over flooring materials.

    Here is a picture.

    I think they have been overtaken locally by nail/screw on HDPE (plastic) or plastic with inset 'felt' buttons. Nothing at Elraco, you could try Mother of Pearl , Watson Brass or another online supplier of restoration hardware.

    I have seen these, but that's no good as I'm in the UK.

    However the more modern version is a Teflon pad with a nail/spike in it. Quite common for nailing into chair legs so as to not scratch laminate flooring or floorboards.

    Do you have this sort of thing in Aus?

    Yes we have chairs and floors in Australia.

    Sorry about that, can't help the OP with an Australian supplier but this mob in the US will ship to Aus Tube Caps and 3 Prong Slides.
    Those were the droids I was looking for.

    Hello all,

    Thanks for all your input.
    China I need them in about two weeks if that's ok. I'm happy to pay for them plus postage.
