I hope that everyone is getting the point very few of us who do our own set-ups are professional luthiers, techs or woodworkers.  Nearly all of us are self-taught, whether by book (like Joey said, Dan Erlewine's is great) or website.  All you need is some tools: a capo, feeler gauges, a ruler that measures 32nds or millimeters, a truss rod wrench and a hex wrench for the bridge...and a little bit of patience.  
 
Once you get the hang of it your Alembic will always play like butter. It's really not hard to do at all. Slapping is MUCH harder

BELIEVE me . . . if I can learn it and explain it, ANYBODY can . . . . but for God's sake, don't let me anywhere near a soldering iron !
