    My Dad can hang pictures with the best of them.

    Great Giveaway but Mom was better at home than Dad but I still love him.
  • RobynB
    My dad's DIY secret...hire someone to do it! Unfortunately, my dad has never been good with his hands!
  • Sheila
    Dad built my bed - best one I've ever had
  • beth
    dad showed me and my husband how to hang drywall....a precious trait in this cracked plaster filled fixer-upper.
  • Karen O
    my dad would love the tool set. he's a handy guy and can do anything!
  • mirror_eyes
    My dad taught me something I use every day: put tools (and other things) away in their places, and you won't have to waste time looking for them!
  • Amanda V.
    My old car constantly leaked oil, so Dad taught me how to put oil in my car. Sounds simple, but hey, I'm a girl:-)
  • Steve B.
    My dad repairs old electro-mechanical machines such as jukeboxes, pinball, and slot machines. I may never use his tip myself, but he told me that hair oil (yes, off his own head) is the best oil for small moving parts in these machines, and produces better protection than WD-40.
  • Michael
    Dad has always taught me the safe way to use tools -- mostly by saying "Son, don't ever do this the way that I'm doing it."
  • Karen
    My dad taught me all about fishing, including how to bait my line and clean the fish.
  • Eileen
    My dad made me a hanging "closet" out of chain and some nails when I didn't have a regular closet in my small apartment in Japan.
  • Cheryl W
    I'm signed up for your newsletter. My Dad taught me how to make my own wood valance boxes for hanging up curtains. Saved a lot of money making them ourselves.
  • I'm subscribed. My dad's best tip is "preventive maintenance". He has always worked to keep things in good shape.
  • gaylei
    my dad would love this!
  • gaylei
    oops, forgot to write a DIY tip. one thing he taught me is use a leveler when putting up floating shelves!
  • Thanks for all the great comments! One week left before we select our winner and make a few dads very happy. Please share this contest with all your friends and family.
  • My Dad knows how to hang pics well...:)
  • carogonza
    My dad showed me how to fix a toilet. He showed me how to take out the workings and replace them. It has come in very handy over the years.
  • Gene
    My Dad taught me that you can concentrate harder with your tongue hanging out of the side of your mouth. I never have picked up the habit though; I was always afraid of what would happen when I smashed my thumb with a hammer while "concentrating"!
