I have a local old fashion hardware store near me from which I can order just about anything from. Nice thing about buying local is if you run out of something they typically have more, or will have more sooner than you can order it on-line. There is also something about getting the parts in your hands and test fitting them or getting advice from the staff as part of the creative process and pool of experience from which to draw from. Being able to buy one or two things for a few dimes to test out ideas verses buying a bunch of something because of shipping and handling fees speeds up the development process and can end up saving time and money.
I have never ordered anything from McMaster or Spruce Aircraft, but you never know.
