I guess I was not exactly to the point with my previous question, so here goes again.

We have a few frame builders here on this list turning out works of art worthy of all the praise that is heaped on them. My question is what are the builders on this list doing (if anything) to pass on their skill? I am not saying that they have an obligation to do so. Let's face facts: you gotta pay the bills. I am just curious (and wanted to start up a new thread). I fully understand that most (if not all) are one man shops and do not have the time to train an apprentice. If I crash my Gios Torino and need some frame repair done, who will I turn to when the current crop of masters have retired? I know that there are frame building classes out there and I am sure there will be other frame builders around, but this question is directed to the frame builders on this list.
