Bucknell was possibly the first TV DIY individual, but
encyclopedias/compendia from the 20s and 30s gave full instructions for
making your own paint, hanging wallpaper, bricklaying, plastering and
tool usage. My father built his mothers first radio from a kit somewhere
around 1930 and most people made many of their own clothes in the late
19th century. DIY was a necessity.
