I would recommend the td kits from binghams projects. They will help you see how the building process works as well as giving you a much better chance at making a bow.

ive never made a form but seen a number of different types of forms.  in my opinoin the two piece form with an air hose in between the upper and lower part of the form to apply strong, even pressure down the hole length of the bow.  my bow being built by wild horse creek bows out of perry, ks is done like this and all of his bows turn out great.
