I'm an apprentice machinist, and i'm also trying to put together a forge. I had luck going to old shops Iv worked at for scrap metal. Maybe try asking around a few shops, see if they would sell you some scrap metal they have laying around, the ones I went to had lots.
Just getting started in Hamilton, Ontario
in Ontario Artisan Blacksmiths Association (OABA)
