I have always wanted to take things apart to get to know how they work. It started early and it has been a theme ever since. Engines, gearboxes, watches, etc. I seem to get it back together again - as of yet... What makes things easier today compared with when younger are 1/ experience and 2/ using a mobile camera for every little step.
Very much the same here, these just aren't on that list yet, and may not be for quite some time.

My Dad was a pretty good wrench and I can still remember "helping and supervising" him when I was about 3 years old. Fortunately I inherited that gene from him and it has served me very well too, made most of my living with it, saved a lot of $$$ along the way fixing things myself and won a ton of drag races. win, win, win.
