Making my own 35mm adapter..

Hey everyone, so I've finally conjured enough money to start ordering parts for a 35mm adapter and I want to give it a shot.

I've compiled a list of things I need, and how to go about construction, but it's my first time doing it, and I am not super familiar with the 35mm construction, though I think I know the basics.

So I was hoping maybe someone with more experience could give me some pointers if I am getting the wrong thing or something so I don't end up wasting money >.<

Anyway, here's my list (from closest to camera)
Stepdown ring (62mm for ex-f1, 43mm for hv30) ->
72mm achromat ->
72mm filter rings ->
72m static gg holder with canon ee-a focus screen ->
72mm to 57mm stepdown ->
filter rings for distance ->
nikon macro extension tube ->
50mm nikon f1.8 lens

I'm also wondering if there are better options for focusing screens than the ee-a, and also if it's okay to use a stepdown ring before attaching the adapter without any quality degradation or skewing..

Thanks!
