That's a good way to start. There will be a learning curve, just as there is with any new skill. If you're comfortable working with your hands, you'll eventually get it.
Those Park stands appear fairly regularly on Craigslist, here in the Bay Area. You might want to keep your eye out for a tensiometer.
