Jeremy - You can't go wrong following John's advice. I'm going to follow along too, because I always pick up something good that I can use for making my next bow better from a build along. In the meantime, until you and John get started, have you checked out the search feature on the forum? Just type in whatever you're interested in learning about, e.g. tillering, nock file, etc. and you'll have lots of info and opinions to pour over.
