Be sure to check out homepodge.com too! They have a great collection of DIY home, garden, and craft projects.
www.ana-white.com
Great ideas and plans for building all kinds of things. Free and easy to use site.
I second Ana White's site and am surprised it's not on here!
craftsy.com !!!!!
I can not believe they missed this one!
they have killer DIY classes you can take at your own pace that really explain things- and you can ask questions and get the answers you need right from the instructors!
A third on Ana White!
Her stuff is usually outside of my style, but Martha Stewart is on top of her game with the DIY (and pretty much everything else).
I also like centsationalgirl.com, modpodgerocksblog.com, curbly.com, designsponge.com, and tipjunkie.com.
Check out www.dvineliving too
oops www.dvineliving.co.za
Another vote for Ana White!

I wish well-constructed cabinets were DIY-able; I'm stuck with badly constructed crap and don't have the money for replacement!

You're gonna need some supplies!
You feature them fairly often, so maybe redundant, but http://www.ikeahackers.net/ is a lot of fun.
makeprojects.com has really clear, step-by-step projects.
craftster.org is the original online crafting community, and the ideas there are always fresh.
Another Ana White fan here!
