For supplies you need something to support the rod (a big box with the one side and the top cut off works fine, finish for the guides, expoxy for the grips, gimbal and reel seat, some thread, finish brushes, color preserver (if you use regular nylon thread) and a razor blade/exactor knife. I would suggest you get a copy of Tom Kirkman's book which I think is titled "how to build custom rods".
Components:
Blank, gimbal, grips, reel seat, hosel/winding check, guides, and a top.
I would also suggest you strip down an old rod and practice on it before buying/using all new components.
