    There are a number of mail order metal suppliers on the web that sell
    materials other than jewelers stuff. They sell small quantities and
    the prices are not too bad considering the  small order size and that
    you don't have to chase all over to find the stuff. McMaster Carr is
    a LOT more than just a material supplier but they sell and stock all
    sorts of tools and materials. They ship fast  and they take credit
    cards and  don't mind small orders. Searching through their web
    catalog can take a little learning but you may find it rewarding.
    Many industrial customers use it as a first or last source for small
    lot  items.

    For aluminum rod  go to raw materials, then metals, then aluminum,
    then rod. Pick the type and size. and how much. Order and wait a few
    days. 

    For another small metal seller that takes small orders: 

    http://www.metalexpress.net 

    This is a part of a major metal supply warehouse system set up for
    small orders. the web catalog is easier to work with since they
    carry on metal or related material. They stock, take small orders ,
    take credit cards and ship fast. 

    There are more but these work well.
