I have 2 separate questions but am submitting them together

1. What is meant by the term "relaxed geometry" used in many manufacturers descriptions. I'm sure it refers to angles and maybe wheelbase, but can you tell me what range is considered "relaxed" and what is considered "unrelaxed".

2. A few weeks back one of our list member sent pics of a bike he built and brazed while attending class in Oregon. I would like to learn lugged
   frame construction and build one for myself someday, but probably can't leave my life for 2 weeks to go there and learn. What would be the best way for me to proceed?
