Tooling up
What do I need to build a complete AR? I’m thinking of actually building one complete. More so for the experience and gained knowledge of doing it.

The reality? Not much. There's a video out there showing a guy put one together on his living room floor with his young child helping. Or, if you like tools, you can go hog wild and outfit an entire shop.
Watch some Youtube videos and decide what you need vs. what you already have.

Plastic mallet, pin punch, screw driver/ hex bit, small piece of wood, channel lock pliers, thick book, castle nut wrench if you're doing an m4 style stock.
Assuming you're going the standard pre-built upper kit route

Re: Tooling up
Raxar pretty much covered it. In reality you can do it with what you probably already have in a basic tool box. There are a whole lot of specialty tools, jigs, vise inserts, etc that make the job easier but they aren't requirements.
