You don't need a brush hone, you can use WD-40 (or something similar if you are anti WD-40 lol) and a new scotch brite pad to restore the crosshatching if the cylinder is within spec. Just takes some elbow grease.
Top-ends on two strokes really are very easy. They seem scary and the way some guys talk they sound more daunting than they really are. But once you do one you will wonder what you were worried about

You are good with video, just take pics/videos anywhere you get stuck and we will gladly help you here. You can do it dude!
No offence intended Coop, But a scotch bright pad Will not under any circumstance restore the crosshatch pattern.
If you work in one spot too long it could remove the crosshatch.
A scotch bright pad is OK to use only to remove a carbon buildup, or some aluminum smearing from the piston (usually on the exhaust side of the bore).
A brush hone is the only method a reputable builder would use to restore the crosshatch.
That is why I stated You should take it to a local shop who has a brush hone. It may not need it, But No one can tell you that without seeing the cylinder.
I think You can do the tear-down and assembly yourself Andrew, But since it's your first time it would be good to have a machinist take a look at the cylinder. It would also be a great idea to have a factory service manual to look over.
It is much easier than a four stroke, But still important to get it right.
