What is best way to learn to build own equipment?


I wanted to learn how to build my own stereo equipment. I live in Southwest Missouri and I am able to find schools that provide training in electronics. The only thing I have been able to find so far is a weekend program in Chicago that teaches how to build a tube amp.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how the best way to learning how to build your own equipment? I open to any type of training, books, online information, etc.

Thanks for your willingness to try to help me.

Build a Spud amp kit. Jerry Curtis offers one. This amp is distributed by Hawthorne Audio. You may enjoy reading about their open baffle speakers which could also be a nice DYI project.
Start building with your intuition as a guide while you are waiting for all the books you're gonna buy to arrive. Or you can move out here and I'll show you, if you have a few years.
