The closest metal supply place to me is 40 miles away, when ever I go that way I stop in and pick thru their drops. They usually have plenty of aluminum and steel round and flat drops to pick through but they dont have any brass Another place I like to stop in is the Habitat for Humanity Restore, about a month ago I was looking at their bins of drawer pulls and noticed some nice heavy solid brass handles. I paid $1 each for them, not sure if it's a good deal or not but now I have some brass bits in my scrap box ;D I now keep an eye out at second hand stores for cheap pieces of brass to supplement my meager supply of brass. My daughter works for a flooring installer and got me some of their out dated flooring samples to use as bases for my projects in case I ever finish one and feel the need to mount it on a nice piece of lumber..... Just thought I'd share.
My second hand store brass bracket, Restore brass handles sitting on my flooring samples. Yup I'm a scrounger....
