Written by a husband and wife team, it's been said that anyone who read The Useful Book cover to cover would become the paragon jack of all trades! It's an encyclopedia of DIY on every way to cook it, build it, sew it, clean it, or repair it yourself - a.k.a. everything you could learn from your shop and home ec teachers, if you still had them. Includes practical projects with step-by-step instructions and illustrations, relevant charts, sidebars, lists + handy toolboxes. There’s a kitchen crash course, including must-haves for a well-stocked pantry, how to boil an egg and peel it, how to grill, steam, sauté + roast vegetables. There’s Sewing 101, plus how to fold a fitted sheet, tie a tie, mop a floor, make a bed + set the table for a formal dinner. Then there’s shop class - the tools that everyone should have and dozens of cool projects that teach fundamental techniques: practice measuring, cutting + nailing by building a birdhouse. Make a bookshelf or a riveted metal picture frame. Don't forget do-it-yourself plumbing, car repair basics + home maintenance projects from priming and painting to even refinishing wood floors! Paperback; 2016, Workman Publishing Company.
