Probably gonna want to build airplanes too. Such a tragedy.
Sadly nowadays very few engineers actually have the knack... But I did watch a guy take some measurements and then wander over to on a milling machine and make a key that fit the name brand high security lock well enough to open it - It was spooky! If I was flying somewhere and needed to solve an in flight emergency with a ballpoint pen, a stick of gum and a bungee cord he is the guy I would want to have along :)
Wanted to credit my source for this link as my long-term, bud/brother T, after whom the character you saw was modeled. Smile, T...
