    Bladeforums.com is a very good resource. You need to read the pdf by Verhoven ( spelling?) that will give you a good dose of the basics in metal.
    There are dvd's available on hollow grinding. In the Wiki there is now a brief tutorial on hollow grinding.
    Some guys use a waterjet service to cut the razor blanks out of the steel, then grind the razor blank, send it out for heat treating and tempering, then finish grind the blade. Del1r1um just posted a thread on this.
    Your primary tool will be a grinder, check out KMG and Bador grinders and also usaknifemakers.com if you want to build your own grinder.
    This is a start.
    here is the Verhoeven info

    Metallurgy of Steel for Bladesmiths & Others
    who Heat Treat and Forge Steel
    John D. Verhoeven
    Emeritus Professor
