Can y'all point me in the directions of something like a "compound cutting for Dummies" book? Pictures I see here are fascinating, but I'm totally baffled at how it is done...

Phil by all means do get some of Diana Thompsons books, she's the compound Queen.
As Mike suggested, Fox Chapel Publishing carries them, you could also go to Amazon.com
and if you don't mind used books, you can get them at a lower price.
Good luck and please do post some of your projects when finished, we love project photos around here, not mandatory to post, but sure appreciated.
Steve Good has a great beginner video here......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1_Tg...feature=relmfu
I would highly suggest making a jig to hold your compound block, as Steve shows in his video.
I bought 3D Scroll Saw Patterns & Techniques by Henry Berns. The book does address technique and finishing and lots of patterns. The latter, however, I do not find very useful. I'm being polite when I say they are not very 'sophisticated'. Had I had the book in my hands prior to buying I would put it back on the shelf. I guess it depends upon what kinds of patterns you are looking to try.
