That looks like a scrapbook post. (And I’m trying to remember what they call the blasted things…there’s a special name for it…ahhhhh)

This is a cool fastener idea. There are some projects floating around for me that could use these. Thanks for posting.

Do you have a body piercing shop nearby? I bet they would have, or could get you one.

They remind me of “Chicago Screws” although I’ve never seen them that long.

Amazon search links truncate, so here it is as a bit.ly: http://amzn.to/2onQsUu

We used to use them as hinge pins on e-NABLE devices… :wink:

Home Depot or Lowe’s for shorter ones. McMaster or Grainger for all sizes or our favorite Amazon :slightly_smiling_face:

Make sure to search “binding posts” instead of “Chicago Screws” for a larger selection.

These are neat little things. Never used them but I could see them being useful in bolted connections with laser projects!

If you have a hard time finding an exact replacement, I can make one of those from scratch in about 30 minutes.
