FET power amplifier project

My dad wants to build a FET power amp for the 630meter band.

It uses that 300watt pushpull RF module from G0MRF

He wanted to make it all self contained power supplies and everything in one box.
so, what tools do we need to get this all done? Any thoughts about this?
 
You'll need a good soldering station, multimeter, oscilloscope, power supply, heat sink, and enclosure, and also, plenty of coax, connectors, and maybe a spectrum analyzer for tuning

@Skimmy has said the basics already and I support, although I'll just add a dummy load that can handle 300W at LF is a must, you may also need metalworking tools if you're going full self-contained, drills, step bits, maybe even a nibbler or Dremel to get panel cutouts clean
 
If you're building a full 630m FET amp in one box and think a couple screwdrivers and a soldering iron will cut it, you're dreaming, this ain't a weekend kit, it's RF surgery
