31 Hey Evan, welcome!
Age ain't nothing but a number as the 20 year old song goes (sheesh, now I feel old, realizing how old that song is lol.)
glad to see that you've joined us. It sounds like you have a great start. Here are a couple of videos that were recently mentioned in another thread to someone else who has parts and is just now getting started.

24 Welcome Evan, the info in these vids that Carl has linked, should at the very least get you started on your build. If you get stuck at a particular point just ask, but it helps if you can provide details (ideally links) of the equipment you are using. Also posting photos of your build and close up shots of anything you are unsure of will help to diagnose problems.
I hope you manage to get the parts together without too much hassle...
