Home Depot, Lowes and some hardware stores have racks of rod, angle, and
strip steel that might meet your needs. Plus there is pipe, bed frames, and
the nearest metal scrap yard.
If you get desperate, you can buy damn near anything online.

I want to build a stand for my computer monitor (21", doesn't fit on my
desk..) I just got a welder but where can I buy metal? I think I saw
some at Sears but I'm not positive.

Thanks
