A modern and energetically designed encyclopedia of DIY with
everything you need to know to roll up your sleeves and cook it, build
it, sew it, clean it, or repair it yourself. In other words,
everything you would have learned from your shop and home ec teachers,
if you'd had them. The Useful Book features 138 practical projects and
how-tos, with step-by-step instructions and illustrations, relevant
charts, sidebars, lists, and handy toolboxes. There’s a kitchen
crash course, including the must-haves for a well-stocked pantry; how
to boil an egg (and peel it frustration-free); how to grill, steam,
sauté, and roast vegetables. There’s Sewing 101, plus how to fold a
fitted sheet, tie a tie, mop a floor, make a bed, and set the table
for a formal dinner. Next up: a 21st-century shop class. The tools
that everyone should have, and dozens of cool projects that teach
fundamental techniques. Practice measuring, cutting, and nailing by
building a birdhouse. Make a bookshelf or a riveted metal picture
frame. Plus: do-it-yourself plumbing; car repair basics; and home
maintenance, from priming and painting to refinishing wood floors.
