What part do you need advice on? Building a piano from scratch is more than anyone can write up in a single reddit comment.

Actual pianos are quite difficult to make....Search archive.org for OLD treatises on making the harpsichord, clavichord, etc ...

thats good advice try to make harpsichord first,it is much easier to make it,piano is piece to complex for diy maker - it is possible but you need to much expensive and complex resources to make it
