Interesting subject. I think mechanical skills are influenced a lot by genetics. My dad was a farmer, mechanic (his partner brother was not a mechanic). Born in 23 he too apart their alarm clock when he was a kid and got in trouble until he got it back together and new the alarm worked again. He taught me and my brother mechanics but it didn't take on my brother. I learned to weld and run machine tools in college (mechanical engineering) in my spare time and had formal pipe welding training later as a welding engineer when my boss thought I should be able to TIG root beads. I have been blessed with genetics so I can figure out how something works and also visualize in three dimensions to design and assemble without drawings. Tool me a lot of years to realize most people could not do that. So now in retirement I love building, repairing, and still consult a little for helping engineering companies kick off projects where they need to formulate the basic direction of their effort, the fun part for me and what lost of people fear having to do. I like this forum because there are lots of people like me regardless of their education.
