I have never seen Dan Bernstein-style code crafting an Operating System, and I am eager to look at it.
Actually, i am a heretic to his ways, i am making use of a string formatted routine to output, although don't plan to provide a similar one to input (skalibs is one similar lib that follows more strictly djb style, although relies on the standard libc)

OSDev is a pretty good place to gather information about how to start, and is very likely to be the better one, because it has plenty information for each step, and citates a lot of others helpful sources. Following a implementation process of a simple system may be the better way to get the grasps of how things works, allowing you to experiment further (the OSDev has a "OS Implementations" section in its books page)

Reading "real" operating systems code may show itself to be of little productivity, because you will get too much details (linux code is mostly drivers), and i think that is better to understand what must be done in its most basilar form, only then those details start to have value; so smaller systems are better in this regard, for example: the already cited xv6 (this one is good, small and has a book), temple os (simpler design, all ring 0), minix (has andrew books addressing it), etc.
