You can pick up a lot of wood and metalworking skills from just watching YouTube and SAFELY experimenting. You’re not going to become a master tradesman or anything but you can pick up a great deal of know-how. Just get a list of things you want to learn and spend some time in dad’s workshop with a laptop showing YouTube.

I currently feel comfortable doing basic home plumbing, electrical, my own auto maintenance, building small pieces of wood furniture, and light metalwork (bending, drilling, riveting, etc). Next up that I’d like to learn is welding and fiberglass. With so many resources out there for free, your only limitation is time and access to basic tools.
