Yeah, I found .50" in my local Slow Depot, but, I'm looking for 1" - 1.25".

If you dont mind pvc (what I use I get mine at Lowes in the electrical section.You have more leeway when cutting the base hole then just tap in the grommet.I can install these grommets in about 15 CGB'd in less then an hour.
I paint mine to match the colors I picked out for that particular CBG.
You can see what I'm talking about on my page.Their cost effective too which is important to me since I sell retail only.

Roger,

Just checked out your page and I like the idea of PVC... especially working low budget programs with kids.... also painting them makes more colorful and more things a kid can do safely... thanks

the best,

Wichita Sam

I went to a funky old junk filled hardware store and found some cool stuff; small vents, small brass screens, and the like. Thanks for the suggestions ... keep 'em coming.

I have been adding more varieties of larger curtain grommets in my shop. Have several sizes in brass, copper and nickel, and just ordered a 1.5" nickel variety today. I also have smaller standard grommets. http://www.cbgitty.com/cubecart/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=26
