If' you're talking classical, I really like Robbie O'brien's approach with building a frame in a mould first, then sanding it on a radius dish for the back and a flat board for the top. Back and top (in this order) are then glued on a solera. To me personally, this is far superior to the traditional Spanish method (building the guitar around the face-down soundboard) in every respect.

As Martin said - this one has been discussed before and a search will reveal some good methods.
There are lots of ways to do this job. FWIW this is a post I did regarding my cheap and cheerful method.
