I wish you all the luck in the world. However, I think most builders realize they know something that a lot of people are willing to pay for. Framebuilding is a subsistence living for most people. I can't imagine taking on someone that I don't know that has not taken advantage of all the learning opportunities that are out there. Simply asking the question shows that you haven't really done that, because you would have found out that what I say is true. In fact, there is a good thread about it on BF itself. Amusingly enough, it's called "looking for apprenticeship" I have to admit I found that through google, the site search isn't the best, to say the least.

Actually, reading the framebuilder's list and BOB list on this subject is a hoot. I'm going to do the search again later when I have more time. Sorry if I come off as insensitive, I'm conflicted about participating in this thread because I don't like giving people bad news.

Again, I hope you have success at this. There are people that get apprenticeships, but it's mainly through personal contact. You will be so much better off in any case if you take Doug's class, Dave Bohm's class, or a class at UBI or any other class of similar length.
