How to navigate different learning styles when honoring family tradition

My brother and I both want to learn woodworking like our grandfather taught us, but he insists we should take formal classes and get proper training while I want to just start building things in the garage with grandpa's tools. We can't even begin because we're stuck on the 'right' way to honor what we inherited versus learn the craft.

More people experience this than they realize.
