Thanks Kengore,

I have most of the tools already from past woodworking projects, router, saws (japanese back saw, scroll, circular, chop, handsaws, etc) and planes both 9 inch and 6 inch that need the blades touched up. Still need to pick up a new depth gauge and 60* tip which I also use for working on cars, great for finding TDC or BDC with the heads off and for checking flatness on the cylinder deck and heads. And will build a poor mans oven, forced air type for use with a heat gun.

I'll dig a little deeper into PMQs. Seen a bit on those. I figured this would be a good winter project, last year was re-learning to tie, so I'm giving myself give or take 3 months to complete everything including the rod.
