I had a mentor in an experienced luthier who is a friend and neighbour and I used his workshop.
There are a lot of specialised tools and jigs which you need to acquire or make and timber selection is crucial.
I believe that some well known instrument makers do run schools.
Some basic experience in timber joinery and tools helps.
