That's gorgeous and fascinating, lemondzurich!
VintageRaleigh, there might be a framebuilding business near you. I bet you could apprentice there. In other words, work some hours for free and gain some knowledge. At that point, the builder might be willing to teach you and guide you through building your first frame. He might enjoy mentoring you and passing the craft down to someone young and ambitious like you. And after a while, he might pay you, and you'd have a skill you could take elsewhere and make money from.
