Question Leak Down Testing How To

After reading the thread concerning a blown engine, I'm looking at performing a leak down test on my engine just to be safe. The problem is I don't know where to start so I have a few questions:

What are the tools you need to perform the test?

Is there a good write up with directions on performing the test?

How often should you do this to help detect head gasket leak before it gets to the point of blowing?

TIA!
