   Sure...Colonial saw imports the Lamello line. Buy the hundred pack and sell the ones you don't need.

   Judging from my research there seems to be no market of lamello biscuits for the hobbyist woodworker. Judging from the responses I have received thus far, a certain place would freeze over before I sold any of the leftovers and not worth the hassle. Absent a response soon I'll have to pursue plan b but I sure would have liked to have gone with plan a. Thanks anyway to all who have responded. I just can't justify 50 dollars unless I was in business. This project is more like a once in a lifetime deal.

   So what is plan B????

   There's other types of fasteners out there that do similar things. Mod-eez is one. Titus is another. Hafele carries a lot of RTA (ready to assemble) fasteners. 

   Lamello isn't really marketed to the hobby woodworker and there apparently isn't much interest in the specialty lamello products to the hobbywoodworker. Having been in the professional field it's pretty interesting as to what's out there. We were using Lamellos in the 70's and it took years before the other companies made clones of the Lamello.  The first plate joiner goes back to 1956.

   thanks Eric - I ended up using the metal interlocking biscuits you can get from Lee Valley. Those Lamello biscuits sure look better but I finished my project without them. Thanks anyway and I appreciate your taking the time to send me a post. - Tom.
