WAIT!! Before you begin, some of these tutes will tell you to download images, fonts, etc. Don't do that.

Just ask me and we'll find our own images, and use the fonts we have in our system.

And besides, you are DESIGNING your own Typeface, so you don't need to download any fonts.

I will add to this collection as we go along. Also, if you find a tute that you like, please send me the link and I'll add it here.
