The know-how to do this is somewhat of a lost art with the newer generation of adults.


It really isn't. As long as you can watch YouTube and maintain the confidence to ruin some material while you're learning, it isn't difficult to pick up.

And once I tell that to whichever zoomers or younger person I'm talking to (this talk usually happens while we're at whichever Home Depot-analogous store is physically closest to their home, while I'm getting them set up with a Starter Toolbox), they usually take to it just fine.


Probably just a bias. The generation I speak of would not be found anywhere near a Home Depot or hardware store.
