Didn't you post some pictures of your cabinet work on another thread? If they're the ones I recall then you are talented at that kind of thing and that was not just learnt surely?
Seriously, I am all thumbs. I don't even own a drill any more because I just can't use them (we have a large, quite expensive painting in our toilet simply to hide the massive hole in the wall I made when trying to put a mirror up - "Simply mark and drill two small holes", it said in the instructions; yeah, right!). The wife and children leave the house when I come home with a piece of flat-pack furniture. I once called my father over to the house to help with a shower pump that wouldn't turn off only to find that I had left my electric razor turned on on the side of the shower and that was the noise I thought was the pump running.
When I say I don't know where to start, that's probably not entirely true. I know the theory, I just don't have the aptitude to put that into practice.
