> Hello John,


You will need to create python plugin. Try plugin Builder or follow other
tutorial for basic set up.Now in you plugin you can create you own tool bar.

 QtoolBar and add this toolBar to Qgis.

Take a look at this http://qgis.org/api/classQgisInterface.html

specificallyt addToolBar(NameOfToolBar)

toolBar.addAction(action)

you can add various action to toolbar and you you want to run whatever
functionality you want  you can also customize with different icon.

Thanks,
Nikhil Murarka
