I have published three books of paper models, all designed by hand. Nearly everything I learned about layout drafting I figured out myself (that's the hard way!) or by systematically working through an old book on sheet metal layout, the title of which I've long since forgotten. You can begin searching for a good layout book at your local public library. The older the title, the better. I found that the newer texts were not as thorough.

For all, it's in the FAQs on this page http://jleslie48.com/faq.html . Several formats linked at various places in the text, even an html version down at the bottom.
