I stumbled on this hilarious "e-learning" site that hosts thousands of How-To-Do-It-Yourself tutorials posted by members. Topics for these instructions vary anywhere from cooking, arts and crafts to gardening and... Well, pretty much anything that you can think of, and more.
How to fire shave, make drawstring shorts in 15 minutes, guitar picks, quiche or a thumb fan are just a few examples to describe the vast offering... :)
These little tutorials are constructed of step by step instructions with pictures and YouTube videos (not in all) as illustrations. The directions are generally easy to follow. This site is a great example of how easy instruction is to create and anyone can do it, but also shows how important concise and clear language is when creating the instruction, which is usually a task for us, the professionals of the field.
If you have a moment with nothing to do, or are just curious, visit this site. I can guarantee you'll get a good laugh out of some of the tutorials, plus there are some actually useful tutorials that can teach you neat new skills and tricks!
Enjoy learning!

I enjoyed reading the Top 10 Back-to-School Instructables. I think my favorite set of directions listed were the Pink Eraser USB Flash Drive. Who would have thought to turn a pink pearl eraser into a USB drive?!?!
What a fun site, Iida...thank you for bringing it to my attention! The next time I make spaghetti, I'm dying the noodles!
I've been there before. It is an awesome site.
I just checked it out- really fun site! And now, if I ever want to clean a hardshell gourd, I know where to go :)
Great D.I.Y. site too!
How fun! I just bookmarked this site! I love the Phot-o-lantern featuring a pumpkin carving of Dwight Schrute from The Office and the 5 minute chocolate cake recipe (will come in handy in those 24 inch snow storms and your dying for something sweet and nothing in the house days)! Thanks for sharing a great, fun site!
I made a cigar-box guitar about 9 month ago, and while I didn't follow the way they did it here exactly, I did stumble on the site and got some ideas. I had forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder. Oh, and the CBG I made gets a lot of compliments!
