Where to find nuts & bolts these days?!

Ace is hit or miss.
Ace by house is great! OG one in small town, it was there before HD/Lowes.
Ace by my cabin in the mtns is horrible..if you want bird seed, grill, patio funiture sure anything else you have to go to the next town.
 
Local Ace Hardware and West Marine are good — can be hit or miss depending on town. McMaster has everything though.
 
When I have to cut a bolt shorter, I just spin the end of it on my disc sander at about a 30 degree angle to put a bevel on it. If you have time to wait McMaster Carr has freakin everything.
 
Kimball Midwest, Lawson, Copper state. I keep a account with Kimball, they keep my bins full. If you don't use that much just do a will call. Lawson has the best bolts for sure. You can also do the cheap Amazon stuff if just every now and again.
