Instructables and Videojug - free 'how-to'

Options
https://www.instructables.com

Instructables is a free user-content-provided text and pictures website based on step-by-step instructions for making things - from building your own 1000 watt wind turbine to making your own fridge magnets.

https://www.videojug.com

Videojug is a free British YouTube-style website offering instructional how-to videos on subjects ranging from tying a bow-tie to cooking chicken tikka masala.

Use both to save money: for example, cooking from raw materials is cheaper than buying ready-made meals - or making your own cool presents rather than buying gifts - or going DIY rather than calling in paid services

    I love video jug, some of the videos are quite amusing, showing you how to make a bacon sarnie (hehe):rotfl: , tile a floor etc so much easier when some one shows u

    I saw a great video that takes small dents out of cars with dry ice, thought that was amazing. I have a couple supermarket dings in my car (thanks to the people that open there car doors and dented my car) but sadley i dont know where to get dry ice from.
  • Hey thanks - i work at a secondary school and with some of our students who can't access all the curriculum this will be great. For example not having to read recipes, they can see them, hear them & follow them without help all the time, giving them some independence and setting them up with life skills for when they leave us.
    Thanks - anymore please let me know
