Look at some lecture notes here. LINK (http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/%7Ekaran/courses/csc418/fall_2005/index.html)

You can read lots about the math behind making them. Ohh and do check out the Wooden Monkey Hall of Fame. One guy even made a full GI ray tracer! (look at the bottom of the Wooden Monkey Hall of Fame)

Hehe, I vote ghostlake for No.1 thread-poster.

Here's my favorite ones, since they're simple and illustrated:
