i'm a moron

ok, when building a fixed from an old frame up, assuming i get the proper parts, what tools am i going to need? i'm thinking i'll need:
-allens
- one of these BB/lockring tools, the crescent moon looking things. but what about sizing? is it critical?
-cone wrenches for hubs
-one of these chainwhips for putting cogs on
-something for pedals? if so, what?
-the headset-jammer thingie. i've figgered out my headset woes are related to the 27.0mm sizing of my old jap headtube, so that's not a problem, unless there's also a 27.0-specific tool. anyone know for sure?
-a wrench for the bolts that put my chainring on my cranks.

what else? i'm thinking of having a shop build my wheels, as i'm sure i'd screw that up. so i wont need a truing stand or spokewrenches. but otherwise, i want to build as much of this bike myself as possible, and i wanna make sure i'm getting the right tools before i order them. go figure!

tia,
