If it's a one-off and you're not planning on doing a lot of it, spending on tools is a waste. You have to learn to use the bloody things and that'll definitely come at the expense of wonky lines. Nice ply isn't the easiest to get a beautiful finish on at home. If you can order it pre-cut then you'll have none of the mess/faff/work for better results for, almost certainly, less than the cost of materials + tools.
CYOA
