look just start easy get a star and a set of dies from them or Chris to start. Then try a softer lube like the BAC from Lars.
Then if too sticky go with the carnuba red and a heater.
i made mine with a eby PID unit for making beer or something and a heater "cartridge" then drilled a 5/8 Alumiunum plate to match the star and a 1/4 hole to put the heater in and you are on the way.
