I was wandering around Lowes, a thrift store (a bust), Aldi (because of a coffee thread here, didn't buy any) in Woodbridge, and asked a Lowe's employee about some hobby shops in the area and 2 seconds later was on my way to Hobby Town.
..found some 1/16 rods and some washers, metal sheets and some other stuff at Hobbytown in Lake Ridge, VA.
