Can save some money for sure, and there are lots of instructional videos on the net. Biggest negative is not be able to try the blank before you commit, rodbuilding.org is a wealth of info. For what it's worth I have built 3 fly rods, one on a Batson RX7 blank and two on Mud Holes MHX blanks. I found the Batson blank to slow for my liking, really really like the MHX 6wt blank, the 4wt is a little slower, but this is all personal preference. If you go with big name blanks the savings is not as substantial as the smaller Co. There are two Canadian co. that I'm familiar and have dealt with, and would recommend either.
