Sufficient Self Forum

This fellow (Robert Markie) from Expert Village presents a series of 17 very useful short vids on using some basic tools, safely - mostly carpentry & woodworking tools, but he's also got ones on using a tap & dye and a pop-rivet tool.  Very good, I believe, for someone who has had little or nothing to do with them.  Gives a good sense of what these real basic tools are - beyond the hammer, screwdriver, square, straightedge, and so on that everyone knows.  Can help in deciding what tool might be a good next choice.

There's a playlist that will show up at the bottom of the page, showing all the vids in this little series.  At the right-hand side of the page, there's a list of some good related vids.

The biggest message, though:  use YouTube to learn to do things, including DIY & homested stuff.
