What are some must have DIY books that are a must have if you are to have no Internet, access to the web, etc. basically DIY bibles. What books are a must have to learn, perfect, or master a new craft for those who are good with our hands? For example, I don't know anything about electronics, but I am getting my start by having and reading "Getting Started in Electronics". What other books are good for DIY?

Blue machinery book is better. Navy shit is written by people who have never touched a took before. Even other branches steer clear.

Sorry meant machinery handbook. Thinking of big blue book of bicycle repairs, which is unrelated but also good.

>>2869844
I’ve been a PLC guy for 15 years, been with some of the of the top firms in Europe but I’ve never met anyone who had actually read the standard, myself included.

Reader's digest Back to Basics was a go-to for me as a kid. Read it front to back many times... Metalworking Sink or Swim is another good one. And the Best of Farm show magazines has some good stuff in them too.

house wiring, is the only type of book you need. because proper wiring matters. I don't have any other diy books.
