I'm considering taking Yamaguchi's bike building class.

I don't want lugs, I want a brazed frame - the smoothness of the joints is what attracts me. That said, if I take his class, then I'm the one doing them, and they might not come out so smooth, haha. I'm hoping some frame builders here can tell me how your first brazed frame went, and were you happy with how it looked?

Follow up - I'm good with my hands, I can draw, I've done clay and wood work before with good results. Should I get some brazing training before going, or will the two-week intensive be enough?

Any info would be appreciated.
