I'm trying to sort out in my mind what makes all this mechanical stuff interesting... And how today's level of interest is totally different then it started...
Screwing around with my first Bike, and Car for that matter... I took everything apart... totally to pieces.. scrubbed, cleaned, Painted, polished, waxed, greased, whatever the part needed and then I took the time and love to put it back together again slowly and often many times until it worked as advertised and occasionally better... When it was done it had to be at least as good as it started...
I don't seem to do that any more... maybe it's because I know what's in there... or maybe it's because I know how easy it is to break stuff just trying to sneak a peek at what makes it tick.
Shop Tools do get disassembled and looked at for the most part... Simply gotta see how they work so I know how to tell if something's broke... and the best time to see is when it's Sorta clean...
Any of you folks ever have this type curiosity? get in trouble for it? ( Yeah I took the flip page digital clock apart )
Keith... ( got me to thinking of rules of mechanic'n and I'm going to start a thread on that too... )
