The old book by W. Schroeder , < Practical Astronomy > , is a good reference. It has many pages devoted to the astrolabe theory and shows a graphic way to make an astrolabe. If you are familiar with math you'll find quite easy to translate the graphic instructions in trig formulae in order to simplify the task.
