i think we just need a new term for that, if a normal person cannot do it themselves with some reading, practice, and reasonable purchases, then it isn’t DIY.
Like, if you’re a professional woodworker it’s not DIY if you record yourself building a fancy solid mahogany escritoire…
At the same time it kinda is since many of these creators openly share advanced schematics, 3d files for printing, CNC templates, circuit board designs, and in some cases even full on instructions. Of course the average person doesn’t even have a 3d printer let alone something like a CNC machine, still with someone that has the tools and experience it can be done diy (naturally if you don’t have the experience all the advanced schematics and files wont mean anything).
