Are there any amateur inventors here who frequently buy small metal

I was hoping to get ideas about where to get preferrably standardized
parts that are relatively simple geometric shapes for the projects I'd
like to put together.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks everyone for all the advice.

Since it would be cost prohibitive to get parts made to spec every time
I needed something, can anyone recommend some sort of mini-lathe that I
could toy around with?

I'll be working with plastic like Delrin as well as metals.

Thanks again.
