Why not start a section just on useful tips or little shortcuts ?
For instance when using a handsaw to cross cut the reflection in the blade of the edge of the timber being cut is a perfect guide to 90 degrees both across the timber and in a vertical plane ( if the wood is horizontal).
A 90 degree reflection gives you 45 degrees.
Using a washer and pencil it's a perfect scribing tool.
A candle run down the thread of a wood crew makes it easier to drive it in .....and take it out.
A candle run along wooden drawer runners underneath makes it slide in and out much easier.
You get the idea !
All in one section makes bit easier to access.
