Northern California fillet brazing instruction

[DuncanCallaway]

I learned to fillet braze from a frame builder 20 years ago and have built a few bikes since. I'd like to brush up on my fillet brazing technique with a professional. Any recommendations for someone to contact in Northern California that might offer a few hours of their time to teach me? Unfortunately I don't have time for a multi-day class. Many thanks in advance.

Where in Northern California are you located?

I'm in Oakland but happy to drive a bit -- if the person isn't local there's likely good riding nearby...!

Probably many more local options, but I'll throw Jeremy Sycip's name out there 'cause he's just an awesome guy who loves helping people and really knows his stuff (and Santa Rosa offers spectacular riding). I once dropped by his place with my fully assembled CX bike to ask about adding chainstay indents. He stopped what he was doing, pulled out some tools, handed me a pair of gloves and we proceeded to pull the rear wheel, crank, etc. He walked me though the process and 45 minutes or so later I was headed home with my bike ready to clear 35s.
