That should work. Meanwhile, I'll try to find a way to get a Vanilla server up so I can show you how to build them (using creative). If at all possible, I'd like to explain stuff on a voice chat. Skype should work well enough (if you use it).
Edit: I hope you don't mind using Hamachi for this. I can't seem to find another way to get a personal server working... I'll PM you the info you'll need when I have it ready
Further edit: I have everything set up, including sample grinders. Just let me know when you'll be available. If Hamachi doesn't work out, I could always use Skype's screen share feature while explaining
