You *really* need to understand truss rod adjustment.
I have done all of my guitars at least once, and the guitars with straight necks that don't have any problems, are really easy to turn great results. If a neck has an "issue", usually best thing would be to plane and refret, but if the frets have enough meat you can make an educated guess about how to address it.
The mechanics of the job are really easy, but the analysis can be more challenging, especially if its a problem neck. For instance, I have one guitar that had a bit of twist below fifth fret, causing fret buzzing on treble strings when truss/action set how I expect. Guitar played well everywhere except for those lower frets. To address this, I had to take more material than I wanted from those lower frets. A process of measuring, leveling, testing (repeat)
Guitar plays great now without any buzz, but those lower frets are closer to medium in height (which is not an issue because I dont bend/vibrato there often). Best practice would have been to remove frets, plane board and refret, but I was able to make some educated decisions to work around the problem. I figured the guitar already had a problem, if I totally screwed it up, nothing lost as I would plane and refret. A plek machine would have been able to do what I did without taking as much material.
The point is that the job is actually quite easy and reproducable IF there aren't any problems with the neck. Unfortunately the howto videos don't speak much to the analysis of a neck and how to address issues. You have to use your powers of intellect to figure out what to do, and you won't know that until you have previously planed some "no problem" necks.
