Steampunk DIY- where to find gears, clock parts, and other bits and bobs?
I am very interested in The steam-punk style and want to go about making some steam punk inspired jewelry/accessories I have access to a soldering iron and have some experience in making wire jewelry.
I was hoping to decorate a flash drive or perhaps make a toned-down version of this watch:

My only concern it where I can go about finding the characteristic gears and clock parts that give Steam Punk its distinct aesthetic. I know some craft stores often carry bits and bobs with their scrapbooking and doll making things, but I fear would end up paying an arm and a leg for anything I find there. Would a hardware store carry small gears?
Any help would be very appreciated.
Look in junk shops and thrift stores, yard sales are good too. Try to find windup alarm clocks you can take apart. I recommend the "big ben" alarm clock if you can find it, lots of excellent brass gears! You could also look for sources on the internet, do a search for surplus hardware and electronics, a good site is American Science and Surplus, if you don't know them, check it out.
