What is the success rate of making "good" hard (cheddar, edam, etc)
cheeses at home? Is it difficult?

Where would be the right places to shop for quality cheese making kits/supplies?

Just don't let the cat eat too much cheese ;)

I don't know anyone who makes homemade hard cheeses, but a friend of
mine makes her own mozzarella. She recommends this website for info
and supplies:

try

I've successfully made mascarpone, chevre and camembert (but failed at stilton).

I haven't made any hard cheese...yet.

I imagine that it's easier to make cheddar than it is to make
camembert or stilton, though - not having to worry as to whether you
have good mold or bad mold makes things a lot easier :)
