Overview

Imagine using your own two hands...

To repair broken things, restore old favourites, improve your home, build new stuff from scratch or even just boring old maintenance...

...But you're afraid you don't have the skills.

Fear not, because this is a different kind of DIY book. It gently introduces and explains the principles. It guides and motivates you far beyond 'do this, then do that'. You'll learn how to look at the physical world through 'practical eyes' like the professionals do.

There's over 30 years of professional experience as a builder and teacher in this actionable guide to being good with your hands and living a more practical life. It'll show you how to easily build your own skills and avoid all the common pitfalls.

You'll save money using your own head, hands, and heart to create something wonderful, fix something you treasure, maintain something you want to keep forever or build something just for fun.

You'll love being handy because then you can do anything!

Start being handy today.
