I've been rewatching This Old House and Ask This Old House and Tom Silva seems to always have an answer for everything. Who else has good content to learn about "how to" home improvement?

I love books to I have several DIY books. If I have a specific project I Google it then read and watch videos on the subject.

Youtube - mightycarmods, chrisfix, and donut media for DIY automotive stuff (chrisfix is amazing!!!!!!)
Pretty much every car model has its own forum with a wealth of information to save you from spending thousands at the "stealership" ex: IWSTI.com for subaru wrx/STI, rx7club.com for mazda rx7s

It kind of depends on what you are DIYing. TOH/ATOH are great for home improvement ideas and inspiration. I am dipping my toes in woodworking, and I have been checking out Make Something and DIY Creators on YouTube.

My girlfriend knows I was a Navy Seabee so she keeps me repairing and doing building things all of the time.

Pinterest has some interesting designs. Especially for bourbon barrel ideas.

I had a broken stud on a rear wheel of my 2006 Honda Ridgeline. The garage wanted $400 due to the disassembly that was involved. I spent $80 on a impact screw driver, a 2-foot metal pipe, and two jack stands. I got new tools and saved $320!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But man every step was a pain in the ass to figure out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWCMMUGcQAQ&t=962s

I also watch Ted Talks because they use experts and I learn stuff.
