So I want to get into framebuilding (apprenticeshop with Sycip in my town?)

So out of the blue, in a moment of boredom with current life happenings, I thought to myself "Building frames seems like it would be fun, I want to learn that"

I'm 23, no experience welding, lots of experience with bikes and mechanics
So I'm planning on taking several welding courses at the local community college come Fall.

It came to mind also, Sycip is 2 miles from where I live and thought maybe I could proposition them into taking me on as an apprentice. I'd be willing to work unpaid.
Any suggestions on how to go about propositioning this? Any advice?


Thanks for any input
