Google "golf clubmaking" and you'll get lots of places that sell club components, and generally have discussions about clubmaking.  Golfsmith and Golfworks are a couple of large companies that come to mind.

Golfworks is pretty awesome and you can't go wrong with them. They ship fast and are well priced. I got the wedge heads from Hireko, their customer service was pretty awesome as well.

I bought a couple of those heads too just because they were on sale, at $7 a head why not??  If nothing else they will see use around the practice area at home, although I'm really liking the GI aspects of the 56°.  After assembling them I put them on the loft/lie machine, and they were dead on spec.

Just put a couple in a new Sonartec t46 60* head and a new Scratch Custom 50* head.

When Struck right the wedges are really soft

I think people are intimidated by redoing their own grips shafts etc..with the right tools, its actually very easy. A few weeks ago I finished doing all my irons. I used the same grips and shafts though. I needed to adjust the swing weights so I got tip weights and borrowed a swing weight scale, and I spined the shafts as well. Put some sexy red woven ferrules on them and they look and play really nice. I did a driver as well and FLO'ed the shaft in that. I had my pro remove the head with a shaft puller. For anyone looking at doing it, just go for it. Its rewarding. It gets tricky when you start with brand new shafts that need to be tipped and trimmed. But, there are guides out there on doing that as well...nice job on the irons above..

Nice looking wedges.  I'm actually considering an Acer XC Sand Wedge when it's time for me to build new irons and wedges for myself.  I'm considering Acer heads (among others) for my next set of irons as well.
