Are there any courses, books, or dvd's on how to make strings? Specifically to the ukulele?
 
I've never considered that... I'd say your first step is to invest a few hundred thousand dollars on equipment. I'm sure they come with an instruction manual.

Watch the Aquila video on string making and you'll see what I mean.

If you're talking about choosing suitable strings from existing materials, there are a lot of references on the internet on tensile strength and density of materials, and string tension charts and spreadsheets to get you started.
