One of my wife's friends came over a few months ago to visit. I was in the garage tinkering on some car project. My wife brought the lady out to see my garage and the AC setup and the lift. She commented that I was "lucky to know how to do all the repair work." My reply was a standard, I have no innate knowledge of working on cars. I learn as I go and figure it out. If I screw it up, I just do it over until it is right. No one taught me, I just kept trying to figure it out until I got it right.
I have done plumbing work and I learned I hate that with a passion.
I have done electrical work and I am OK at simple stuff, but nothing extreme.
I have done carpentry work and learned I have no talent and kinda suck at it so I avoid that.
I put in the central vacuum system in our house by myself.
I put in the sprinkler system in our yard by myself.
I built my computer from a pile of parts I ordered on-line. I built my first computer back in the DOS 3.3 days. (1987 I had to look that up)
I built my mother-in-law's current computer from parts ad set up the remote VPN so I can fix any problems she has with it.
