I often get asked “How did you become a Tinkerer?” Well, here’s when I think it all started. When I was about 5, I took my older brother’s Mickey Mouse watch, put it into a vice and took it apart. I wanted to see how it worked, but, of course, I couldn’t put it back together, so I threw it into the bushes. He thought he had just lost it. And I didn’t tell him the truth until I was about 22. He didn’t even beat me up. He’s a really nice guy.
