I was one of those kids, I was always curious how things worked so I'd pull things apart to find out.
Consequently, a few things didn't go back together, but I learned a lot from it.
Now nearly 48, I actually still have one or two those things I pulled apart as a kid, still in pieces in a box in the cupboard somewhere waiting to be put back together one day.
Today I'm a self employed mechanical/electrical/electronic repair and dignostic tech covering many industries, and have several related trades under my belt.
Definitely doesn't hurt to nurture their interest when the kids are youngšš

Seeing your shop tools made out of salvaged parts is RIGHT up my alley! I'm a gal who loves to make things out of things I already have. I don't have a very orderly memory, so taking things apart is about as far as I get with things and getting them back together would not be easy, but nevertheless I found myself in my parent's garage more often the older I got. Some of my best memories of my Dad are when I was working in there, and he would just end up in there with me, both of us quietly working away, or him showing me how something worked. Thanks for reminding me to remember him!

Ever since I was a little kid I've enjoyed taking things apart. I used to take my toys apart and finally got to where I could put them back together. Even though I'm retired now, I still enjoy finding the odd bit of Machinery or electronics and taking them apart. I often Salvage them for electronic components such as transistors capacitors and potentiometers and save them for future projects. Thank you for your video take care bye

Same here. Taking apart is good, but doing it non-destructively so it can be re-assembled is key. Today, I can take anything apart, usually without damage, and put it back together again; yesterday's project while I was cleaning it, was a Oticon Ruby2 rechargeable $2500 hearing aid, now clean AND still works š. I was one of those kids: sewing machines, power tools, lawn mowers, bikes, boats, cars and now I am a design engineer.

That's great Jeremy!
I was one of those kids, recently I bought a $2 broken electric pole saw at a garage sale it needed a new chain, and oil lines, and was missing the bar tensioner. I had a polished 6mm steel rod from an old printer I had scrounged that was the right diameter and was able to drill, tap, and make the new part. Yay, the saw works great now! $11 total cost.

I work for a company that rebuilds mostly medium voltage breakers and switchgear. Taking LOTS of pictures is a must because most of the time drawings and wiring diagrams just arenāt available. Thankfully the company has been doing it for a long time and has built up a lot of information in house. It may be an interesting video for you.

Having worked on military aircraft, the biggest issue, is dealing with subsequent changes, MWOās (modification work order), that deviate from original plans, schematics, and manuals, usually applied by civilian contractors, and resulting incontinuities in the installations, aircraft to aircraft. This resulted in daily conundrums maintaining military aircraft.

I used to love taking stuff apart as a kid, my mum would give me broken things, she said she was amazed when one day she gave me a broken VCR and a few days later I gave it back to her working. When kids see enough items over time they'll begin to get an intuition at an age where they're a sponge.
