There's tons of material out there, you can buy a book from Amazon[0] or watch a bunch of YouTube tutorials[1]. It's best to learn by doing though so you could always volunteer[2] or take a local course.

There are also lots of folks: building their own places (search "homesteading"), commercial builders documenting/advertising their build process (Perkins Builder Brothers is decent), and pointing out small details that are easy to miss (Matt Risinger, who has a building science lean to things).

Larry Haun's book The Very Efficient Carpenter. Comes with companion videos that you can find on YouTube, as well.

https://www.shelterinstitute.com/ (timber framing especially) is one that I am aware of from a few sources over time--perhaps most notably from YouTube channel Pure Living For Life, who failed to finish building their house.
