Kindle Customer Only book of its kind. January 21, 2020 Feel of the book: Like spending a weekend with your dad, as he passes on his philosophy and practical wisdom on fixing and maintaining the things you own. Another Perspective: The author is British, and his use of words like spanner, rubbish, sparky, etc are endearing. I love that there are things that are common knowledge to one country, but are discovered by others until we spend time seeing things from their perspective. Price: Definitely feel as though I got my money's worth Greatest Takeaway Being handy is not about your genes, or what your father did, or how clever you are. Anyone can get better at fixing, maintaining, or improving the physical things around them simply by starting with curiousity. There were some parts that I skipped over as they didn't apply to me, ie Bricklaying (I don't have a brick home), but I found 80% of the book applicable. Suggested improvements: Ian, I loved the quotes and aphorisms you found for this book. If you ever found more that related to this subject, please add them to the second edition. Thank you Ian for the many hours it must have taken to see this book from concept to print. My dad never taught me much about being handy, your book helps me to better serve my family and friends.
