   it's not too hard

   Make the new template and give it the required header like this:
   

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: Wide Content
   */
   ?>

   I just made mine from a copy of page.php

   Then remove the call to the sidebar
   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

   OK, that's the easy part. The rest you may have to stumble through. Its different for every theme

   You have to create new classes/IDs and put them in your css for any parts of your page that control the narrower content and have widths on them

   for instance I took <div id="content"> and changed it to <div id="wideContent">

   then copied and edited the appropriate part of style.css
   

   #content {
   	float: left;
   	width: 775px;
   	margin: 0px 0px 0px 5px;
   	padding: 0 0;
           position: relative;
           z-index: 1;
   	}

   was copied and edited to this
   

   #wideContent {
   	float: left;
   	width: 1000px;
   	margin: 0px 0px 0px 5px;
   	padding: 0 0;
           position: relative;
           z-index: 1;
   	}

   and so on....
