I just bought "Composite Materials Fabrication Handbook #1" by John Wanberg and it was very reassuring to find that I know how to do about 90% of the stuff covered in the book. I am glad I bought it though because it has a very "Garage-DIY" feel and only uses relatively inexpensive tools that the average home fabricator would have easy access to. This means no prepreg, vacuum bags, or autoclaves. Hopefully when I have a bit more work space, Ill put some of this stuff into practice and build some parts for fun.
I also bought "Introduction to Composite Materials Design" by Ever J. Barbero. This looks like a textbook that might have been used if I would have taken a composites design class at UCI. I am pretty rusty with some of the math covered in the book, but hopefully I can take a crack at it and design some parts, build them, and verify their performance.
