I'm nowhere near ready to start building frames, but I would like to learn a little bit about the craft. Can anyone point me to books, websites, or other resources on frame building?

I'll be taking some welding and machining classes soon and I think frame building would be a nice project/side effect of knowing how to work with metal.

Thanks for your time!
