One fix, one page, no guessing
Each page shows what the store charges, what you need, the steps in order, and how to do it safely. Large print, made to sit on the workbench or the kitchen counter.
Here is a page from Part 1.
- Set a jar in hot water and melt one spoon of beeswax into four spoons of mineral oil.
- Let it set until it feels like soft butter.
- Rub a little onto your wood.
- Wait fifteen minutes, then wipe it off with a dry cloth.
“Most of what you keep buying, you can fix once.”
I wrote this book for the person who is tired of paying for the same bottle, the same can and the same repair every few months. These are plain fixes with plain materials, written out one page at a time so you can print it and keep it close.
You do not have to do them all. Pick one this weekend and see what it saves you.
