Saw some very nice fused glass drawer pulls at a builders hardware supply store today. Anybody know where I can find ready-made findings for such items? I.e., flat metal strips or small squares (to which fused glass would be glued) with attached female threaded standoffs/posts.

Thanks.

Tennessee Tom on this board has some really nice ones, reasonably priced.
I think I paid around $50.00 for 21 a few years ago.

Brock, how do you find Tennesse Tom, I did a search and nothing came up.

Slumpy's has pulls and knobs.

I have a bunch from Confusion Art that work very well and are easy to use, with well-done specs and instructions so you know what you're getting. (Disclosure: Donna and Ed are friends of mine, but they really do make a high-quality product)

Maybe Tennessee Tom is no longer a member. Morganica's supplier looks good.

Tom Furman also sent me a few knob samples to test along with advice on best adhesives. I have not followed-up on making them yet but have a more local source to me near St. Louis. Take a look at these - http://www.dlawlesshardware.com/knob-making-bases.html. They wrote telling me many items are back-ordered but will be available mid-October

Thanks, all. I clearly wasn't diligent enough in my searching - the darn things are all over the place.

Go to one of the big building supply stores, like Home Depot, and check out drawer pulls. I've gotten some decent pulls and used them with my glass. Much cheaper
then buying pulls made specifically to make glass drawer pulls from. Recently I found some drawer handles at Ikea which would be perfect for larger handles.

The folks at Aquila glass school has a very nice collection of both knobs and pulls.goto

I can vouch for them because I help teach a beginning fusing class there.

well after a lengthy go around and Brad's help I am finally able to post on here again. He told me I was the only one on the board that had an e-mail address that would not recognize the soft ware running on the board.
I still have some solid brass pulls in polished brass and unfinished brass that I would make someone a tremendous deal on. I also figured out a way to redrill them and add a set screw to make them into door knobs, etc. anyone interested send me an e-mail and I'll send some pics of them.
