The idea of building a tube amp is very appealing to me but I don't really know where to start. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction in terms of an amp kit for beginners that isn't too expensive.

There's a DIY forum on Head-fi, ask your question there.
 
Bottlehead makes good kits with great building manuals which make their amps easy to build despite the point-to-point. My first amplifier was a Millett Minimax: the case is already made and it's nearly all on PCB, but the sound is, IMHO, disappointing.

Try the Bottlehead Crack. Nice, reasonably priced kit, and they have a forum with plenty of help and documentation.

Go for it!
