Well, if you're building your own deck, you need to machine up every piece. I'm sure that Colin could do it, but most of us it's a no-no. The same applies here for reel to reel and cassette. Actually, with a cassette, you haven't got room for the three heads.
You need to erase, record and play back music. The erase is easy, just pass a strong alternating current through an erase head. As far as recording goes, you need to bias the signal before recording it. Playback is simple enough.
Back in the day, most home constructors used an existing deck. The process of recording and playing back on a tape is explained here...

Good luck!

If we've always had that, why is the car boot open? You aren't smuggling in another old TV are you...?
