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.

As someone who also broke my toys and took everything apart as a child: I strongly relate to Jeremy and support his notion of letting your kids figure things out. I would even go as far as to say give them something broken with the challenge of fixing it or figuring out what's wrong with it.

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 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 young😁👍

I been taking things apart and putting them back together for 48 years. Tinkering is my favorite thing to do.

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

[ConnorHolland]

It's a great skill to have. Many of the 'Broken' electronics I've seen have just had one wire come loose, so when you solder it back on, everyone thinks you're a genius

My dad was an electrician and used to bring home all kinds of things for me to take apart. I still enjoy it today and watch for anyone giving something away or things sitting by the curb.

After watching ur vids I was able to make a space ship from a treadmill. Dirt cheap.

Thanks Jeremy!

Excellent point about scans not being the same as a part model. So few people know this!

[BrilliantDesignOnline]

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 🙂. I was one of those kids: sewing machines, power tools, lawn mowers, bikes, boats, cars and now I am a design engineer.

I've always appreciated your laid-back attitude and seemingly effortless communication style. You make it look easy while communicating complex and challenging concepts.
I know that behind all that is years of education, training, and experience. Well done!

[SirCarlosMusicBMI]

You’re an awesome person and it shows. I wish that I grew up with a father like you. Blessings to you and your family, Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸

[samTollefson]

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.

Great job explaining one of the major maintenance problems the military faces today. And great job relating it back to your own work. Keep it up.

Taking things apart and breaking them is the how I learned to repair them. Once you can repair something, you can modify, improve or just make your own thing. I made my off grid home, workshop, tools and so much more from recycled, reclaimed, repurposed, re-invented, materials. If I hadn't been born 30 yrs too early I would have done so much more but the resources and information was so much harder to find in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Nowadays I can research, design, calculate, redesign, order and build without leaving my home. And if I get stuck on something there's literally thousands of people who can help me within a few hours of asking a question. When I was a kid, most questions I asked just annoyed people because they didn't understand what I was asking let alone have an answer.

Doesn't seem like it was that long ago when there was only 10k of us subbed to this channel now you're almost to 1 million subs. Much deserved my man.

Great Video Jeremy! That's how I got started over 60 years ago. I got a tool belt with real metal tools for Christmas when I was in Kindergarten. I didn't become an Engineer but a Dealership technician for 30 years. I took a lot of things apart, repaired them, and put them back together.

First time I learned about capacitors, I was 12, and took apart my parents desktop monitor, it wasn't plugged in but I still got one hell of a shock! 😅

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 aren’t 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.
