Yep, pretty simple. I'm a measure once cut twice, oh that's not quite right, it will probably be ok kinda DIY guy.
I only had some thin MDF for most of it (half his recommended thickness), a drill and a jigsaw. Turned out fine if a little wonky. When u put the wheel in it doesn't matter, as long as the wheel is held securely and generally straight. Made it loads easier. Hardest part was filling a nipple driver out of an old screw driver, but that turned out good too in the end.
