im doing a welsh dresser at the minute with hinges that sit on the face of the door and the frame (very similar to the ones in the pics below), ie you see them all of the time.
ive taken the doors of as the joints needed re glueing and i always take it all off too paint.
when taking them off the 8 screws that hold each hinge were very badly made and i had to re cut the slots for the screwdriver to fit.
i now dont trust these too put back in once ive finished.
ive search all over and phoned a few ironmongery shops but cant get these screws.
the size i believe is described as follows 2g x 1/2" this means 1/2" long and the 2g is the shaft diameter i need 2mm thick and 2g or size 2 are about 2mm.
anyone have any ideas where i can try to get these.
below is my most recent job which im very pleased with.
before and after:

Wow! that's beautiful. Well done.

Is it possible to paint a cane/bamboo screen please? It is retro but a bit tatty.

I expect it is, can you put a pic up? It's probably the type of thing you should avoid getting blobs in the air spaces. So spray can, or dry brush with chalk paint, or delicate fiddly painting with an artist's brush.

Similar screen. I want to use chalk paint if possible. I am not going to be fussed about covering every cm - just to give it a clean look.
