During my spring break, I would like to dedicate an entire day to building a fly rod. I have absolutely no rod building experience, but I do have experience with crafts, gluing, etc from building model airplanes and rockets a LONG LONG time ago. I'm looking for a fly rod kit for a moderate-fast action 4 piece or more 8'6 or 9' 6 wt fly rod to replace my beginner BPS White River Hobbs Creek rod which was probably a moderate-slow. Price is a major concern, I went on a spending spree these past several months buying probably way too much fishing gear than I need (most of my friends have never fished so I buy extra gear for them).
Honestly, I would like to buy the cheapest rod kit that STILL has a pretty decent blank that would equal or rival $150+ dollar rods. I hear good reviews on Baston RX6, how would this blank compare to blanks on factory $150 dollar rods? I do not mind buying everything separately if that means I get a really good quality blank. There are reel seats and cork handles that go for fairly cheap on ebay, and I don't mind purchasing those. I read in a post online that most epoxy given in the beginner rod building kits are crap, so should I buy epoxy separately?

A list of good websites that are selling rod blanks and other stuff on closeout prices would be great. Would even purchasing a blank on Ebay be wise? I dont know which websites are very customer friendly and answer questions that I have involving building..

If building a rod is too difficult for a beginner who doesnt have any hands-on guidance from an experienced rod builder, please warn me. I don't know how long it takes to build a rod, but I will be willing to dedicate a day or two to building a rod.
If all goes successfully, my next project would be to build a fast action, steelhead casting rod with a great quality blank.

Any DVD recommendations on rod building would be great as well too.
