Hi again ya'll,Well I asked about where to finding L-brackets and now I know a half a dozenways to make up my own little L-brackets or get around them. Thanks for allthe ideas but I really just just want a source to get the pre-made pieces.Ya'll are a creative bunch. But you guys already have tools and stuff, I onlyhave my cordless screwdriver and yardstick, that's why I buy stuff like the'easy home assembly' micorwave cart that only needs a phillip screwdriver toput it together. No shop vises and drills and saws and hammers to beat thingsinto shape with. And even if I had a way to hold down the 1" Stanley bracketsto try and saw the ends off them that would cut the holes in half when I gotthem short enough not to stick out.Anyway I looked at Big Lots and TruValue on the way home for stuff. A benchvise, that's $11.95 for a 6 inch one. Then a drill, that's $17.95. And adrill bit assortment, $2.99. And a hacksaw, $1.99. Now maybe I might coulduse those tools someday for something but that's just silly right now to getinto $35+ of tools and stuff for the $2 parts to fit on a $5 kitchen cart.And not even counting a bench yet to put the bench vise on. Or the piece ofangled iron. But I did go ahead and get the '16 oz hickory handle clawhammer' for $1.79, now I can hang up pictures with something other than a canof beans. .Anyway if I find the little L-brackets, I can still get the last part of thiscart together with only my cordless screwdriver. Can't anybody say a placebesides Rockler that sells the odd little hardware parts?Thanks,Sheri Lee WThere Norm, is that a woeful tale enough for you?

Just a thought here........Can you contact the manufacturer & have them send you the parts, after all, they forgot to pack them in in the first place?
