I'm in Maine and recently found out we have a decent history of frame bulding and bike clubs.
Here's the way to do it: Find the builders in your area, make a personal contact- none of this anonymous internet stuff, and go from there. I think you'll find most pros are very open and wiling to share with someone who talks to them face to face.
Till then, read all the threads here and scour the archives from the Framebuilder's list at phred.org.
