At one time on a forum they had a link on truss layouts, I would like to build my own trusses from lumber from my sawmill, any info is greatly appreciated. :)

Check with your county extension serves, they have engineered plans for trusses that will pass building codes.

There are a lot of resources for "regular" trusses--does anyone know of any resources or plans for parallel chord/floor and scissor trusses on the web, or in a book?

Here is a cute little tool I use for building trusses.  It is called a squangle.
