I made a couple for the gym I work it. It was pretty fun and will probbaly build a few more for the coming comp season.
that said, check out halo holds http://haloholds.com/main.html
oh, don't waste your money on the Nicros No Evils
they're overpriced and need some modifications.

http://www.routesetter.com/...improvement-volumes/
didn't do the whole key back shit though. just screw in along the sides and called it good.
don't really need blue prints.. just pick a shape and go for it. make sure you cut the angles to match so it fits together nice and you're good to go. having a father that is a contractor/carpenter is a big help.

It'll be fun, I promise. Ask chossmonkey, his wall has them and I believe he made them himself.
Iz tru.
They aren't too hard to build. Especially if you don't mind a lot of wood filler.

This is a fairly new company on the East Coast.

They look good, but I figure I'll just settle with my chossmonkey.
