MODERATORS
I really enjoyed watching this series a while back by Ben Eater:
"Building an 8-bit Breadboard Computer"
It explains a lot of the steps in the rocks-to-computer pipeline in detail. It assumes decent familiarity with electronics fundamentals, though. So maybe not the best starting point.
+1 for Ben Eater. There will be things you won't understand, but for those at least you get a good starting point for reading them up.
EDIT: Main thing for me was to watch them when I was rested and could concentrate, and I didn't binge them in one sitting; these are probably best consumed when they're not just running in the background.
