Recommendations where to by stock

I have purchased from McMaster, Xometry and onlinemetals. On eBay I have purchased from steeldawg9061 (steel stuff), 6061dude (6061!) and scotkrez (7075 drops). All transactions went smoothly.
 
find a good scrap yard within reasonable driving distance. Spend a couple of hours wandering around and you'll find plenty of interesting stuff to get you started! Took 142lb to the yard last time I went, came back with 120lb :)

Matt,

do not move to NYS, they would not allow you to walk around in a scrap yard, they take metal in, they don’t sell anything, once it hits the yard, it’s scrap to be processed. According to the 5 yds I know of, it’s all insurance related.
 
yeah, they didn't allow that in PA either. I miss my scrap yard in WA, that was even better than the one here in TX :)
