Are there any good "how-to" videos on how to do this?

My wife and I live in a small home that has a woefully plain flat front face, and entrance. The house (and the front door) are perfectly situated for a portico, however.
But I'm not great at carpentry. I can do some simple rough-in type work, but finished stuff like this is far beyond my skill level. I was hoping I could get a little bit of a tutorial, or some tips on how to accomplish a project like this, and get a finish that looks AT LEAST serviceable, and won't fall off the house. Any ideas?
