Default Making a Habaki

Hello All,
Does anyone have any info on how to make a habaki (Collar) for a Japanese style blade? Or how about a DVD on the subject? I have a few books that breifly described the process, but the more info I have the better understanding I will have before I start.

Thanks,
Katsumoto

The path to learning begins with the first step.
