DIY for a newbie

I'm a reasonably competent person who can follow instructions; but I haven't worked on many DIY projects.  What does the Yedda community recommend that I try?  I'd like to start with an easy project -- perhaps building something simple and small -- and then I'll progress from there.  Is there a good website for beginner projects?

Would you like to answer or comment?

First of all, my suggestion for you is- go with the necessity. The idea behind DIY is to save money, and what is a better way to save money then building something you really need (though I wouldn't start right away with something to complicated). A good website to start with is BobVila. this guy has a TV show of DIY anf the website is sorted by subjects like: bedroom, roofing, decks etc. There are all kind of project which includes specific directions, tips and sometimes video clips of the actual work.

Thanks Scaramouche.  I'll try Bob Vila's site -- he's certainly one of the original do-it-yourselfers!
