[QUOTE="WilliamTK1974, post: 4256800, member: 20965"]Hello everyone, I recently posted a thread about a vintage cedar chest my mother gave me. I decided it might be wise to solicit repair information in a separate thread. It’s a solid chest overall, but it’s missing a few nails and screws. [ATTACH=full]338269[/ATTACH] I’m not too well versed on thread pitches or anything like that. This is one of the screws that holds the top of the chest and the hinge together. Two of them are missing. One on each side. They appear to have copper colored countersunk heads. What would I need to ask for in order to replace them. Since we’re on the hinge topic, the hinges also appear to be copper colored and have taken on some curvature that they didn’t have when the chest was new. Would it be a good idea to remove the top and bend the hinges back straight before attempting to fit new screws? [ATTACH=full]338275[/ATTACH] What nail should I use to replace the missing one here? Thank you, -William[/QUOTE]
