Is there really any competition? I struggle to come up with another answer except taking a trade course, which usually costs ten times as much and is a tenth as valuable.
books are useful, but before the internet was as easily available as today I've wasted a lot of money on books that were supposed to teach some craft, but were much less useful than what I later found on random websites.
Well, you caught me right before I changed my answer. I was considering this for a minute, and I think my personal favourite way is asking people who know directly.
I think I prefer asking someone directly to do something and to show me, than going through a book. I love tackling specific issues, and books often instead give me, a general overview of solutions. I'd say mentors is my favourite resource.
Ah, I see what you're getting at. Knowing someone personally is definitely the best way for myself to learn as well (just wish there were people around me that knew things I was interested in learning '^^).
So I haven't had many chances of actually *using* knowledge from it, but Ezermester Magazin is amazing. It started in Hungary back in the 50s or 60s and has some great detailed tutorials for DIY things. I think they're still going. We have a few dozen physical copies at home but also their whole archive is freely available online. "Ezermester" literally means "thousand master", or "master of a thousand trades", but the less literal translation would be "handyman".
it feels kinda rarer for me to see one now, but good user manuals + trial and error is probs my favorite, just bc of gur number of time i've enjoyed reading a manual for something i had no real idea on how to use and coming away feeling pretty confident and having allot of fun along gur way
