Where is his PPE? Smoking with loose wood. Eyes closed while working. Not looking at what he is doing. Wrong tool for the job due melting of the rod. Hat obscuring good light. Some kind of odd muscular disease probably shouldnt be using tools at all. Maybe cancer on the bicep.

>needing a book to be handy
if you were truly handy you wouldn't need a book, you could adapt to any situation and apply your problem solving skills
any clown can follow instructions in a book.

But I am perfectly capable of smoking a pipe whilst simultaneously operating a hand drill. No qtπ wife to look on my activities with love and appreciation though. )^:

What? Books are one of the most valuable things to have when learning trade skills. And most of the time these books are written by old greybeards who have a lifetime of experience. They just lack computer literacy so a lot of the time you won't find the info you need online. Maybe YouTube videos of some made-for-tv home improvement bullshit, but never stuff about the real nitty gritty.

Buy books you fucks.

>Buy books
support local libraries, it's free

>>1000901
Since the age of liability and screwdrivers coming with 'wear safety glasses' warning labels.

>>1001017
Libraries aren't free.
You're paying for the books one way or another.

>>1001126
Libraries are paid for by your taxes? (here they are)
If you buy books you are paying for them twice essentially.

Sucks to be you. Women say I'm amazing with my hands.
