I dont see where we differ on this last; my point is that there is considerable value to taking it in stages, all at once is overwhelming. Formally apprenticed persons are slowly introduced to each craft technique in a way that ensures some profit will be made by the shop while they learn; experienced craftspersons bring some useful skills and experience to the workbench needing to learn how to apply it to luthierie; doing repairs before building from scratch is one reasonable way to begin. Note, my own history has been a mixture of both. > And it's been fun and relaxing.
