Alright, I'm new to the hobby and about to put the finish on my first rod. And like most people on here I have got the fever, and the only cure is more rod building. I'm ready to start turning my own handles and reel seats. problems im having is finding a good website to order all the components I need for a reel seat. Any help would be great.

When I know what I want, I usually go to Bingham Enterprises or Hook and Hackle.
When I want to browse, I go to Mudhole or Jann's netcraft

REC components. They sell the hardware separately and even have turning squares.

Most of the regular suppliers can fix you up with a skeleton seat, so if you're getting your guides from J. Stockard or Anglers Workshop or Dan Craft or Utmost, or the places already mentioned, you can get the seat hardware there, too. Or you can buy custom skeleton seats, or even go completely off the deep end GASP make your own.
