Hi,
Is there good literature on how to repair stuff? Just general things, not specific appliances. How to repair wood, how to properly sand wood and metal, how to replace a tile, how to read and analyze circuits, identify faulty parts and correct replacements, etc. I just want to become better at repairing stuff.
Hit your local library, look for DVDs from The Teaching Company, pretty sure I’ve seen ones on Home Repair and other skills.
I’m not in the US. My local library is tiny and their home improvement section is geared toward housewives.
