"The Art of Violin Making" that the sibling comment mentioned is very good and is often referred to as "the Bible" of violin making.

"Violin Making - a practical guide" by Juliet Barker is also very good

I purchased the DVD series "When Trees Sing" by Peter Paul Prier (he was the founder of the Violin Making School of America in Salt Lake City). The DVD series wasn't cheap but it was worth it.

There is also an online course by Lucas Fabro, https://www.lucasfabro.com/en/online-course/, that I know is also very highly regarded. Fabro also has a number of free YouTube videos that are great to just get a feel for what's involved.

The Strad has a whole series of posters (https://www.thestradshop.com/store/product-category/lutherie...) with scans and measurements of famous violins to serve as templates.

International Violin, https://www.internationalviolin.com/, sells a lot of lutherie tools and is where I bought my tonewood.
