Go to the bookstore and look for those " Projects for the Evil Genius" series of books. I know I have seen one of them that had one in there. Shows all schematics, how-tos, list of parts, and they sell most of the kits and or parts on their website, amazing1.com. For example:

I have a thread in the "Other" section.If you want a handheld one you're probably better off making one out of a camera flash circuit like I did.
