I'll add a suggestion to get a subscription to Vintage Guitar magazine. Erlewine has a column in there where he details various repair jobs, including having some lesser experienced staff performing parts of the repairs. A sub also includes online access to their back issues, so you'd be able to review the older columns.
Another thing I'd recommend is reaching out to Greg Platzer at BCR Music in Lemoyne, PA. Greg used to post some of his repairs to the Hamer Fan Club board, and the dude is a wizard. It'd be a couple hour drive for you, but you might be able to arrange a visit and get a chance to pick his brain.
I follow him very closely. You could say I'm a fan. I recently read The Guitar Player Repair Guide by Dan Erlewine. Now I decided to take my mind off it and found the crucible book, using
