I am looking for source 1/2" Barrel nut ( Dowel nut)
So far I have not located yet. 
I only need 4 nuts.

Once source I found the minimum order was 144 nuts.
Any suggestions.

If you had a drill press and a 1/2" tap that sure wouldn't be a difficult thing to make 4 of those.

Lee Valley has these:

...although the cross dowels themselves look a little short.

Rockler has these:

...although they're 1/2-12?

Woodcraft has these:

...although they state 1/2" w/o TPI, so I don't know if they're -13 (which is typical, right?).

FWIW, I wanted something similar when I built my workbench base from LVL and found a 1/2" wing nut worked the trick.  I'll confess it isn't as fancy, but it sure was less expensive and readily available.  It has been 15-ish years and the bench is solid as a rock.

I just held onto one of the wings until the threads were started, didn't take any more effort than conventional cross dowels.
