This is harsh, but honest...don't even try. I highly doubt that you would come away with something playable-let alone something that sounds good. Save the money and be willing to wait until you can afford to buy one. The guys that make them charge what they do because of the craftsmanship involved & specialized knowledge. I'm not comfortable doing a setup on my DB, let alone attempting to build one.
Sleep_Monkey-have you checked the Newbie Links or Bob G's Luthier directory? There's a ton of great info in there. When i was researching what DB would be best for me, i think i spent days if not weeks, reading through that list.
