I understand your wanting to do it yourself, but, sometimes we need to seek the help of those who have the knowledge to accomplish the goal at hand. After all, isn't that what brought most of us here in the first place? If you need help, I could come by and hand you the beers & apple pie while you make your next attempt!
With clear lines of understanding on what your wants & needs are, there's someone that could do it or at least be available as a paid consultant that would provide you with guidance.
