Good Book Guide : DIY Manuals 

I work on the big project most days, but there's no point putting up a video until there is enough interesting footage to watch. I doubt there would be much interest in watching me cleaning stuff, measuring things and standing around thinking a lot!

@@maximusironthumper Don't underestimate yourself Max, you could probably get a series on daytime TV with that!

Lovely Video! Sorry for chiming in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Rozardner Successful Handyman Reality (google it)? It is a great exclusive guide for how to start a handyman business without the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my old buddy Taylor after many years got cool results with it.

Ditto! :)

Same!

Good to hear, I'm very glad the video's been of use to someone!

Also picked up Calder's book last week, although I don't have a boat nor an engine :)

Yep keep mine on the boat many i night at anchor spent flicking through still not had to use in anger but best to have on board in case.

That's a impressive feat!

He was a clever chap, much like yourself! He was chief electrician and projectionist at the Glasgow Empire (I think) in the 30's. My fav tale of his was an officer in the war asking if he could ride a motorbike - "No, Sir", Officer hands him the key "you will by by the time you get to London!". Cheers Max, I sit here drinking a homebrew that you inspired me and my eldest to do earlier in the year. "He's a lovely man!" he always says, he's an aspiring blacksmith though so he's biased!

That a great story! Very happy to have inspired too!

Thanks for the tip, I do have an engineers yearbook somewhere but it's from the early 1930's - might be time for a new(er) one!

@@maximusironthumper these have been on the go since 1957 and the latest i think is 2002 but may be told differently this is a engineering bible. Worth keeping a eye out for you wont regreat, thanks for replying

You can get the planning book direct from the author, link in the description of that video. The ISBN on my DIY manual is 0-00-718523-5 hope that helps!

It's a Bush, Grandad gave it to me - I think he bought it new! Can't see it being worth a video, it still works, sounds ok, but incredibly inefficient on the electric!

Maximus Ironthumper I think it’s definitely worth a video I am a radio collector and I love to see videos on older radios like this one. I am a radio collector myself just starting out trying to get enough radios that work for my house feng shui

Maximus Ironthumper If you would like check out my channel I believe there is some videos on some of my radios and I recently did a video on a record player that I am restoring

Up until this year, I've just got Rhino Drain Cleaner and cleaned it up a la Nile Red: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4DUGRWjdNLI.html But, this year, Robert Dyas have replaced it on their shelf with a sissy version and put "the good stuff" behind the counter and I haven't plucked up the courage to ask for some yet.

Lots of videos use Epson salt to refill battery

Political correctness gone mad!

Well it's been about 20 years since I went looking for such a book but I remember I had a copy of John Wickersham's "Build Your Own Motorcaravan" book and found it very useful at the time. There are probably many others written since then though!

I suspect the greater problem is many people just can't be bothered.

Not in this house! If it were not for my husband doing everything himself (under my close supervision, of course) we would be living a very, very different life. And it's often the only way to get things exactly right.

It's because everytime I do something it takes me way longer than anticipated 😆

David Duffy nigga what?
