Are there any amateur inventors here who frequently buy small metal

I was hoping to get ideas about where to get preferrably standardized

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You might try looking for a used Erector Set - I'm not sure they sell
them new any more.

I found these guys the other day. Looks like some useful stuff, not sure
about the cost.
