Long before the age of online tutorials and DIY influencers, the Domus series of handbooks gave the everyday home improver everything needed to get the job done right. This second volume in the How To Do It series for Handymen is a compact yet comprehensive practical guide covering an impressive range of household and workshop skills, including workshop equipment, boat repairing, soldering and metalwork, damp walls and their treatment, and working with cement and concrete — all distilled into a single, accessible reference. The guide presents its instructions in a clear, no-nonsense style that reflects the self-reliant spirit of mid-20th century Britain, where practical knowledge was prized and tradesmen's skills were within every capable homeowner's reach. With its illustrated diagrams and step-by-step guidance, this volume also includes a special section cross-referencing the broader How To Do It and Handymen series, making it an invaluable companion piece for collectors of vintage DIY literature and anyone who still believes the best work is done with your own two hands.
