The following handymen and -women were the source for many of the tips in this book. Some of the tips came from project videos or instructional articles that they posted online, some were submitted to me directly, and some came from conversations I had with them.
All of these people are amazing makers and almost all of them have websites and YouTube channels. Do a search. Having all of these people on your radar will yield an ongoing and inspired feed of great shop tips, techniques, and project ideas.
