I am looking for source(online or otherwise) small(less than 1/2") steel
or
aluminum square tubing.
The smallest tubing most sources have is 1/2" which is too much for my
application.

BTW: I am in San Francisco Bay Area.

Why don't you hire a freelance contract designer or engineer for
your job? Probably not very expensive to do.
Just curious; you seem to be using these three newsgroups
to do simple design for you.

And you can probably use the Thomas Register or your local
business yellow pages and the phone to locate suppliers ...

Common guys!
I am just asking where to buy stuff.
As for hiring a designer...
I am building lot's of different prototypes to see what works the best(for
my idea) if at all.

When I am more or less happy about a particular prototype I'll hire someone
professional to work on a
final design of a product that would be mass produced(hopefully).
So far it' still far down the road.

Anyway folks who have money don't ask questions on news groups.
I wish I had money to hire someone from the start.

rec.crafts.metalworking has been a very valuable resource for me.
I am very thankful to all people who gave me advise on my (sometimes stupid)
questions.
I am also taking machining class at local community college so expect my
question to be less stupid

Alex,
You have started what looks like ~22 threads in 3 crossposted
newsgroups asking about the design of your little gizmo and it's
parts and for local suppliers over the last month or so.
While many of the comments are no doubt of great value a real
designer could probably help you a lot, IMHO, and at a lesser
total cost in the end. IF you are serious about your unknown
secret project/product/design. You might even be able to find
someone local (San Francisco IIRC) that needs a bit of side work
and will sign a confidentiality agreement.

HTH
