Dumb Little Man | Tips for Life

As we head into the warm weather months, many of us are going to hop onto the DIY bandwagon. Since I am the kind of guy that would rather watch a quick how-to video as opposed to reading a book of instructions, I have bookmarked several sites that visually show you how to get projects done. Yes, we are talking about video clips as opposed to stick figures and diagrams.

If you are looking for a project or need some help on a current one, there is a good chance the following sites will have something for you.



5min is a place to find short video solutions for any practical question and a forum for people wanting to share their knowledge.




About.com has a video library that is simple to explain. They have a ton...everything from scrambling eggs to staining furniture.


Expert Village is a repository of how-to videos and articles featuring advice from recognized experts in their fields.



SuTree is an online index and library for free video-based lessons, tutorials, lectures and how-to's.




VideoJug is every aspect of life explained and illustrated through an ever-growing number of common sense, informative, helpful and entertaining videos.


From ViewDo: "When the written word won’t suffice, and a picture can’t quite get the point across either, a ViewDo gives you the detail and perspective you need to get the job done."




Honorable mentions:
These sites maintain DIY categories and I have linked directly to them. They are listed down here because, according to me, they are not robust and/or are not the site's focus. There are lots of sites that have some form of DIY category so I limited this list to a handful.

AOL DIY
YouTube
Grouper
Revver

Have you guys found any other sites that have good project videos? If so, list them out in the comments.
