When I worked at The Bicycle Workshop in London, Tom Board occupied the basement with his framebuilding shop. I didn't spend time with him on any one particular build, but every time I was down there he was doing some part or another on any number of frames. Over time (and coupled with my own metalworking, machining, welding, and brazing experience) I learned a hell of a lot from him. As the shop above his, we generally did the final finish work, and buildups on his frames.
He also built me a frame that I still ride.
