paul,

there's a book about how to make a board that isn't too bad. Can't recall the name but you' might find it in a reasonable bookshop although its about 20 years old now.

you might also get some love on swaylocks.com or surfermag.com design forums.

let me know how its goes.

Paul, try this link. It could be the book TKK is talking about. It is a PDF file and quite long. About 70 A4 pages printed both sides.platty.
