While my dad taught me the basics, it was poverty that led me to start working on my own car.
Sure, a real mechanic might take two hours to do a job that took me eight... That was two hours of $50+ labor that I often didn't have. Especially when the price of labor was often the majority of the bill.
For two hours of labor you can buy a lot of tools, and then never have to buy them again.
This DIY attitude spread to other things.
Home improvement.
Plumbing.
Every so often, I bite off more than I can chew. The gas tank adventure being the most recent.
I've failed more than a couple times. The point is to learn from those failures and let them inform your next attempt.
It's amazing how fast you become versatile.
