My nearby equivalent to Home Depot seems reasonable - they have a healthy
selection of metal stock, threaded rods, belts etc. along with all the usual
nuts, bolts and fittings. They're local to this region though...
What I don't know of currently is where to get *small* items - e.g. the above
place does pulleys, but probably the smallest is a couple of inches in
diameter (in the past I hoarded stuff like that every time I tore something
apart - but of course having moved countries I've got no stockpile of handy
widgets any more! :-)
