I know Batson ans MHX blanks comes with a guide recipe, but like JRob, I seldom build by their specs. I will build a standard guide run with a 10,8,7 and then 6s on out. And 6,5,4 or 3s for a micro build. I generally put my 1st guide (stripper) 19-22" from my reel seat and then I put the tip on and static test it for the rest.
My first reamer was a screw driver with sand paper strips or a ratchet wrench with and extension with sandpaper on it. Reamers definitely help keeping it center though. I side wallered a few grips. Its amazing what you can come up with to help. One of my most valuable tools is a Revlon cuticle pusher I use for burnishing, packing and individual thread movements. I started out using the flip side of a set of fingernail clippers though. Just like anything else, you can go all in for a chunk or start with a little ingenuity for less to see if it is really for you.
