If you got the spare time take yourself up to Harrogate for the woodworking show in November. It's cheapish to get in but you have to be careful not to feel like a kid in a candy shop. The demos on using tools are great.

It would make the process much easier and more enjoyable. With regard to having access to the proper tools for the job, have a look at menssheds.org.uk and search for a shed in your area, as far as I can see there are 6 or 7 men’s sheds in Leeds. There you might find an abundance of the tools you will need to make the work easier and there will be help and advice on how to use them effectively and safely.

Here’s an equation that is useful:

If A = number of fingers at start of work

and B = number of fingers at end of work

Then if A-B is </= 0 then all is well.

If A-B is >/= 1 call an ambulance.

👍😃🎸

If not using a bandsaw, maybe you could borrow a decent powered jigsaw for the curvy bits...
