As Martha Stewart says,,, " that's a good thing". Gotta start somewhere. Some guys a few hundred years ago started scratching designs on stuff along with digging , poking and carving Ivory with pretty simple tools. If they did it without the benefit of a Home Depot etc. as well as an internet full of videos and designs I think we have a pretty good chance of pulling something off.
As it's been said there isn't much that is new. We merely stand on the shoulders of those that went before us.
And look what a guy like Michelangelo did with marble without the benefit of jackhammers, power grinders etc.
be a little resourceful , give it some time but most importantly give it a try.
