We were discussing some techniques earlier today in this topic: http://www.cigarboxnation.com/forum/topics/resonator-sound-well-que...
There's a great video link on Jim's page that shows the steps of building one.

Are you looking to build a resonator from a kit? Because those are available on eBay. Otherwise, look around at some of the great bundt cake pan resonators people around here have built.

Likely the simplest is the paint-can lid type. Cut hole, insert lid....They hold up fine to three strings and sound pretty decent as well.
As Scotty says, there are lots of approaches; I used an aluminum cooking-set lid for one, and an aluminum "warming oven" bottom for my full-sized guitar conversion.

Back Porch Mojo have a resonator kit which may interest you. They also have a cone and cover set which is cheaper if you have the other parts. John D See here
