Don't laugh. I want to build a jet pack

Wouldn't that be awsome. Where do you think I should start? Ive been searching this site and a couple of others and I want to try. It doesn't have to produce very much thrust. Im thinking 75 lbs or so. Thats using 4 jet engines. Which Jet engine should i use?
