Seriously, Hugh Piggot of Scoraig Wind has downloadable plans which are brilliant. I've participated in making one of the turbines (don't have one of my own yet) and they're basic and do work but you need to know someone who can source the various parts (magnets, wire, resin etc). Otherwise it's all about simple welding and joinery.

I'll second Scoraig wind. Haven't had the pleasure of a workshop but when I come to do this I'll be looking there: http://www.scoraigwind.com/
He has loads of plans and great info. The sites a bit full but do some digging and you'll get the best advice there.
Good luck.
