I've been switching to stainless steel hardware little by little over the years. It might not make sense economically for a for-profit business, or a project where the wood isn't expected to last very long, but I'm a hobby woodworker and I want to make stuff that lasts as long as possible. Furthermore, carrying multiple types of the same screw eats up extra space in my workshop and I'd rather use that space for something that I know isn't going to rust.

And since you actually took the time to read the description, you will be delighted to know that I also have an Instagram page where I post pictures of the stuff I build, and will eventually display the finished planter box I briefly show in this video. Make sure to follow my Instagram page so I can impress my wife with how many fans I have.
