Ask MetaFilter has an excellent question (How to make things?) with some great replies - "I'm looking for books that tell general building techniques, for example, how to weld, basic wood working principles, how to fabricate things, etc. Also, websites or blogs that cover that sort of thing would be nice. Also, I'd prefer books that suggest ways to build things without a lot of tools (For example, I own a circular saw and a Jigsaw but no table saw). In short: I'm looking for things that will teach me basic building techniques from wood to metal and electronics." Link.
