A finished checklist, not a sample chapter.

Forty names. Five places to start.

The checklist is meant to live inside a cupboard door or on your phone. It tells you what each skill was for without pretending that a single sentence is a safe procedure.

The second page marks five first projects chosen to need little equipment, fail safely and leave a visible result. It also tells you what the books add.

  • Grouped by place. Kitchen, cellar, workshop, yard and barn.
  • One useful line per skill. A name and its household job.
  • No compressed procedure. The checklist points; the books teach.
  • Safety stays visible. Historical practice is not treated as modern instruction.
  • Sources have a standard. Period records for history, current guidance for safety.
