I'm looking to stock up on some essentials in my shop, namely bolts, nuts,
washers and lock washers. Can anyone recommend where to go to get these
in
bulk?? I can't see buying them in the small packs at the local stores and
Mcmaster seems pricey. I can get some of the stuff by the pound at the
local TSC (Tractor supply center) but nothing small and I'd like a couple
of pounds of stuff in the 10-24 range. Any suggestions where to get
fastners cheap in 1 lb quantities?

You can't use the words: "Cheap" and "Fasteners" in the same sentence!
Unless something breaks.

That reminds me of the First Rule of Fasteners: Torque it down really,
really tight. If it snaps, QUICKLY back it off half a turn.
