Hark! A real live piano question!; ...piano tuning tools?

Does anyone here tune their own piano? I'm sure we have a couple, especially those in the industry.

I would like to learn the basics of tuning. All I know now is how to tighten/loosen the strings, and also how to judge the pitch of a note via it's audio frequency/waves.

That's it. And I'm probably even wrong with that!

Anyway...two things:

1) Is this a bad idea? Even if I'm just tuning my mediocre personal piano?
2) What are some essential beginner tools I should use?
3) Where's the best place to buy them?
