I think you should do a search there have been other threads, I think. One thing you might also search are the bamboo threads. Guys who built in bamboo often had carbon experience first. The joinery schemes are similar.

Have you read https://www.sheldonbrown.com/rinard/howibuil.htm yet?
And on a whole different level of complexity, here's an all-carbon-fiber human-powered-vehicle:

not just the frame, but the seat, wheels, handlebar, fork, and the entire shell are carbon. 25 pounds total.

There is a good carbon fiber frame building tutorial on instructables. I just read it yesterday and was pretty inspired to try it in the future.
