I'm a nerd. My only skill is 120wpm. I'm extremely weak, but I brought it upon myself for never going outside. Oh well, I've realized my error and I'm still young enough to fix it. I've been preparing to branch out how I spend my days. I figured the best thing to do would be to learn some essential skills for later, and while it's still early on in my life. I really want to get into DIY, every type, it's kind of weird because while getting help is fine, paying someone to do something that seems easy enough seems... well utterly humiliating! I want to be able to do my own house work when I'm older, and I also want to get artsy and craft little trinkets and presents for people, and things in general (right now, I want to build a hatched wooden display case, but I have no idea what I need or how to do anything related to that. Alot of things I want to do require me to learn all about sheet metal. Problem: I'm 15, and I live in an utterly shit neighborhood with absolutely nothing except homes and diners and bodegas. I've looked everywhere. Everything I've FOUND that I would take a visit and ask for some help- closed. Long ago. What happened?
Right now, I'd like to learn to make those wooden and metal trinkets and presents, and of course the display case. Granted, I have little room, but I'll find a way. Where can I look to get started that isn't a video on youtube? I have a serious problem concentrating when I have access to the internet, and my mind will wander and that video will be drowned out within 5 minutes. Happens every time, to the extent where I got a nice cheap computer to do school work on for $44 without internet access. Anyway, off topic. I really would prefer to study the topic, while having someone show me it as well. Kind of like a class, except... there are no classes for below 18s. So what can I do to get started? Help plox :D Thank you in advance
