A fair few people are having some difficulty getting their hands on the crafting components they need, or wrapping their head around the workbench system itself. I thought it'd be helpful to have a thread in which we can drop helpful suggestions, guides and locations that we know of to find the stuff needed.
If you feel that a location contains spoilers and/or is related to a quest, please give an indication beforehand for the benefit of other posters.

[HEADING=2]Corvega Assembly Plant[/HEADING]
- Raider base, quest-related.
Danger level: formidable. Bring good armour, an accurate weapon, plenty of health and some ammunition.
This is located southeast of the town of Concord and is flagged up as a quest after you visit Tenpines Bluff for Preston Garvey and talk to the initially suspicious inhabitant. He wants you to head there are kill every bandit in the plant, though I managed to achieve the objective by taking out their leader.
Notable danger(s): The outside of the plant is patrolled high and low by raiders who will likely be armed with grenades to rain down on you. An accurate firearm is recommended to take out the one in high locations, and to shoot turrets from behind partial cover. The 'boss room' encounter is likely to be the deadliest in the building. Remember the danger of cars from the previous Fallout - watch what you shoot and where you shoot it from! If you wish to sneak up on the raiders undetected, you should be wary of roaming searchlights, though you may prefer to shoot them out instead.
Notable loot: In the 'boss room' of the plant, as well as outside the plant and in a lower tunnel, you can find machine-gun turrets to loot and destroy for parts to build your own settlement defenses. The leader of the raiders carries a key to a safe in the same room that may contain a random modded pipe weapon and other loot. On a desk in his office there is a copy of Grognak The Barbarian that will raise your melee and unarmed damage. On the edge of a high walkway at the southwestern roof section of the plant is the Repair Bobblehead.
Notable components: There are plenty of containers in the plant complex that will contain a source of Oil, Steel and sometimes, in the case of coffee pots, Asbestos. Look for table lamps, light bulbs, hot-plates and fuses for a source of Copper.

[HEADING=2]Cooking adhesives:[/HEADING]
At a campfire in your settlement (you will find one of these outside the first house in Sanctuary Hills), you can combine several vegetables you have gathered with purified water to make vegetable starch. It is a wise long-term strategy to hold onto any fresh vegetables you find and plant them in your settlement for farming later.
Ingredients: In the cooking menu, find the Vegetable Paste recipe, which requires 3 Mutfruit, 3 Corn, 3 Tato and 1 Purified Water. Codsworth will occasionally give you Purified Water (approx. every 24 hours), or you can build a purifier and hook it up to a generator, causing Purified Water to appear periodically in the workshop inventory.
While Tato can be found in plentiful supply at the southwestern Abernathy Farm (under the electrical pylon), the best supply of Mutfruit and Corn is to be found at Grey Gardens, between Diamond City and Lexington. The produce is all unowned, so don't worry about theft.
