ozecb, if you want to start your DJ, why don't you join the group? We have a group of folks here on the board and we are all working on one for ourselves. We are working together so we can compare notes, tips and whine about the blocks together. Here is where we started, but you can jump right in anywhere..

There is a ton of information on the threads about fabric choices, papers for pp'ing, etc...
