It would be cheaper to buy a kit unless you know a local source for tools and woods. I went with the "from scratch" method and it is pretty expensive yet I feel a little more rewarding.
If I started over I would go for a kit, simply because of the time it has taken to make the jigs and forms/moulds etc just to be able to start doing certain things on it. However, bending the sides has probably been the most rewarding part of the job so far, even though they are far from perfect.
