Where did it come from?

I really like these rail buttons. They're delrin, have a thick base to keep the rail off of the rocket, uses a counter sunk screw, and the stem of a t-nut fits up into the button to ease assembly. Never had an issue with them.

But I have no idea where I got them and with my current build I'm on my last set.

Any help?

It looks like it came from the original Doghouse Rocketry.

I bought a pack that look just like that from doghouse 2 years ago (except they're black ). They're great

Are recent buttons from them different?

Mike at Binder Design is making them now, he bought Doghouse Rocketry.

Are recent buttons from them different?

Can’t say for sure but the images on his website look different than the ones I’ve purchased from DH.

Doghouse, that's what I thought, but I wasn't sure. From the pictures on Binder's site, they're no longer offered. Shame, they're perfect for so many different projects, especially putting on stand offs.

I'll message them and see if there's any possibility of them coming back.

Thanks, everyone!

If you countersink the rail-buttons.com 1-piece 1010 delrin buttons you've got almost exactly the same thing except not quite as tall. They are already bored to fit a #8 weldnut / t-nut shank. Personally I prefer them shorter than taller anyway, YMMV.
