Confession: I'm a guy lurking on the gal's section.
I'd highly recommend you buy Steve Fredrick's
Teardrop Shop Manual for $60. It's a PDF. Kinko's or some other print shop might print it off for you for $25.

viewtopic.php?f=26&t=6397From a guy's standpoint, if that manual doesn't get his heart thumping and his tool hand twitching, nothing will.
After I downloaded it, it pushed me over the edge and my 5x10 is about done –and it solved many construction challenges.
