I've also seen Yamaguchi in Colorado but don't know too much. I'm in CA and it seems traveling will be a must.
Anyone have any experience with either and have some words of wisdom?
Any other schools that I should consider?
Thanks in advance.

Words of wisdom;
Brazing aside, there are other facets that you need to concern yourself with; Stuff not likely covered in a frame building class...
1) How will your frames be different; IE better than what is already out there on the market.
2) Brand name: Coming up with a viable brand name for your frames.
3) Painting and paint schemes and decaling.
