    I googled “how to use power tools “and got to you ! Thank goodness! There is such a need for single women ( I’m alone but a homeowner ) to know how to use power tools ( like a mini chain saw for bushes etc! )
    I’m 59 and like you were SO SCARED I WOULD HURT MYSELF OR MESS UP!!
    Thank you for giving confidence ! Consider doing a “ how to use power tools ( a different one each week) for women!¡ I’d love to learn which tool is best for a smaller person to handle etc ,

    This is brilliant advice. I'm currently studying Product and furniture design at university in my final year. For my dissertation I'm focusing my research on the phycology in power tools and the fears in DIY. My aim is to design a starter set of tools with GOOD tutorial manuals to explain how to use the tool as a beginner DIY user.
    I was wondering

      That seriously makes me SO happy!! 😊 They sound so scary but once you embrace it as a learning process all the options open up! I love that I can make almost anything I dream up for my house! 🙌
      So glad you’re loving the podcast! 💖

    This such good advice - so many people are just scared to pick up what are perceived to be really scary! However, as you say, it's all about knowledge, practice and confidence...and this has just inspired me to take a new project! WOuld love a video on what's in your basic toolkit!

    • @caranewhart

    Great video Cara! Love hearing your story! We are in a new home in MI and adding a bit of our own functionality and flair! My husband has learned a lot from his dad growing up, but I'm learning from him, and what's great is you and others on Instagram are actually also giving me things to teach him! It's a win win over here! Keep the great content coming!! :-)

    I partly disagree about the confidence, because eventhough it's important, being overconfident is worse than not being confident at all. I'm saying that, because I started using my father's tools when I was 13 every time both my parents weren't at home, and some of them were the circular saw, the angle grinders and the welding machine, which caused me a second degree burn on my left hand. For me, the most important thing is danger awareness, and that's why people under the age of 16 shouldn't even stare at them
