First rod to build?

So I scored a G. Loomis 8'6" 5wt. IMX blank really cheap this weekend. However, I don't have the slightest clue how to build a fly rod, it was just a deal that I couldn't easily pass up. I'd like to take the rod building class at DRO, but it doesn't appear that they have one starting anytime soon. So, would I be better off getting a book and trying to build this one on my own, or waiting til the next DRO class to build it. I'm not all that worried about having a perfect rod, since I paid next to nothing for the blank, but I'd like to have something that I can actually use. Any recommendations would be helpful.
