I would agree with all the comments about McMaster-Carr - they're a great
bunch.
However, one piece of (possibly unfounded) gossip I've heard. I understand
(from reading it on the Internet) that you shouldn't let them know that
you're a homebuilder. Supposedly, they won't sell to you after that (due to
liability, I would suppose.) I haven't run into this personally, but I
haven't brought it up with them, either.
I use them all the time for a lot of stuff.
Oh, and you might check Woodcraft if you need pieces of UHMW poly - they had
a cheap "grab-bag" deal which I got several years ago - handy for "playing
around with" to try something out.
They're here:

Good luck!

Not to start something, but as an aside about UHMW: I considered using it in place of the ZAC supplied nylon, because it is so "slick" and so easy to work. But from reading technical literature, I decided against it. It seems that they strongly discourage solidly fastening UHMW to metal in more than one place, because it has a vastly different coefficient of expansion FWIW.
