I want to learn DIY and other crafting work around the house

Hi this post might sound abit stupid to some of you but growing up 26M I didn't really have a dad that taught me how to do these things. He never let me do it always did it for me which i found so annoying. I would genuinely try to do it myself but he would always come and shout at me saying you cant do this you will do it wrong and so i get afraid of even attempting it. I always wanted to learn and not be useless for my future wife. So i want to come here and ask to people who didn't have a dad to teach them how did they learn stuff like fixing, putting up photos on the wall, putting together cupboards&wardrobes and tables together, fixing lights etc. Maybe even more advanced stuff like building a small doghouse or shed. I find myself not having enough confidence to figure these things out. Some of these things I have done because its usually following simple instruction however I want to know where i can just learn the basics of using tools and eventually just build stuff for myself in the future maybe for something that doesn't require/have a instruction manual. Just the knowledge of using tools and stuff. Hopefully this post doesn't sound too dumb or stupid apologies in advance. submitted by /u/brosapro12 [link] [comments]
