    You Tube, Google, and a lot of Coorslight help me build it from the frame up.

      It is amazing isn't it? There seems to be a youtube video for everything, no matter how obscure. I was frustrated trying to do something that seemed simple - replacing the shift knob on a 2005 Honda Accord (son's high school car) I couldn't figure out how to get the shift button to engage. I searched Youtube and the first hit? " Hi, my name is Ernie and today I'm gonna show you how to get the shift button to engage when changing the knob on a 2005 Honda Accord - it's kinda tricky"

        Countless small engines.
        Plumbing
        Saved about $3000 in dealer repairs on my son's truck.
        Love YouTube.

          Squirrel cage broke on the garage AC. Utubed it and it looked easy. Well my son and I took apart the unit and by the time we got it out realized they held it up and built the ac around it. A week later the cage came in and we were almost sure we would never get it back like it was. Watched a couple more videos and assembled the darn thing........

            Put the track back on a skid steer this morning with youtube. Was about 150 yards through thick yaupons. Was able to carry everything that was needed and get it fixed in short time.

                    Broken sunroof in my 2013 F150. A youtube video complete with a link to $110 part box on ebay and 6 hours in the driveway later...I had saved myself from a $2500 repair at the dealership.

                    Oh, my 16 year old son helped, and you can't put a value on what he learned!

                      Worked at an auto body shop for a few years an older guy I worked with would hate when I showed him a new trick I learned from the you tube. Every chance he got he would tag me in this post on Facebook. You tube saved me quite a bit of time so no shame from me for learning new things. Mainly interior door panels on new year model vehicles always changing them up.

                            Sure, use it all the time. How to take apart and clean my reels, shotguns and just about anything else. I normally watch several videos.
                            I have found some were wrong on how to do things, like annealing brass. A guy posted to get it red hot. That isn't correct.

                                Youtube is probably the handiest website around right now.
