Anyone DIY a windshield?

Just wondering if any of you guys have tried to replace a windshield before. I'm pretty sure I could do it myself (maybe with some help putting the new glass in), but I'm debating if this is best left for a shop to do, simply because I don't have any of the tools to cut out the old glass or suction cup dealies to carry the glass with.
(I'm well-aware of the wind noise and water leak potentials here, and I feel I'd probably care more about getting it right than some random shop tech).
So have any of you guys done this? I'm surprised that we'll take on bad suspensions, worn out piston rings, mysterious electrical shorts, etc, but a common windshield replacement is a very un-common DIY! Any advice on getting this done? Any really good tools to have, or places to get said tools?
TIA!
