This thread has been a discussion about a master framebuilder. So again, do you need 10,000 hours before you can enter the market and compete? Probably not. Can you do the same after a 2-week course? I'll stick with asinine.
reasonable overview but leaves out the swath of people who come to frame building with other allied skills that shorten the learning time.
that said, the demise of industrial education ( shop classes) have hollowed out the pool of capable, or aware people. This will extend the learning unless very gifted.
I think I was at the near tail end of the decent shop classes in school, 2 years after me, my brother’s experience was a shadow. Now, we had a leg up, an transportation design industrial design father and an airframe and power plant mechanic grandfather, I learned much from him.
