Honestly you have not given us much to go on...

Like Timber said... What type do you want to build? I have to say with the prices on kits the sponsors here have I would honestly start there,,,, I have bought some and they are top notch,,,,

Wood... depends on the type of plug. surface, sub-surface, metal-lip, needle, spook,,, so back to step one,,, decide on what you want to build.

Wire. The sponsors have it pre-cut and bent for cheap. the best way to start.. .062 stainless

Lips. The sponsors have the names of the lips based on the type of plug. Still need to know what type your building.

Weights. Belly or tail. start small and go up from there. Placement depends on type of plug and the action you want.

grommets... buy the grommets that fit the size of the swivel your going to use..

Most sponsors have made it really easy just visit their websites.

Also I know everyone said it and your tired of hearing it but I can almost guarantee that all the questions you have can easily be answered by using the search button on this site,,,, even the guys that have been building for years still use it.
