Those of you that have turned your own wood inserts, where did you get the reel seat parts (rings and stuff)?

I make them. Use either 6961-T6 aluminum or 18% nickel-silver.

Just about anyone who sells reel seats sells the skelatons. Acidrod.com is one I use

Most of my seats that I build is a BUL-5 from Batson. One of my dealers is Utmost enterprises. They are Batson relatives and their shop is about 2 blacks away from the company.

I buy the skeletons and make my own wood spacers.

most dealers that carry bellinger, struble etc. carry skeletons.

fishbum, where's the best location for buying 18% ns, and are you drawing end caps or turning them?

I would think you could talk them into selling you any skeleton

Most of the seat companies sell the parts to roll your own, if you want something that looks standard. If you want truly custom, then turn your own from 6061 aluminum, or get drawn cups from Brookside @ http://brooksiderod.tripod.com/components.htm#pbcn

Brookside also has some articles on how to go about drawing your own and how to use them.
