Watches, clocks, robots, drills, small engines, etc.

I think they are all fun to take apart. The more mechanical (ie. more gears) and movable parts the more fun it is.

i like dismantling computer parts... mechanical parts like hard drives and optical drives (that don't work of course)

the stuff inside is pretty sweet.

A motorcycle engine.

Get a motorcycle that doesn't run for a song, then have loads of fun taking the engine apart. When done, take it to the junkyard.

Your computer... take apart in daylight, try to put back together in the dark. It's more challenging.

A rock. Smash it in 2 and what do you have? 2 rocks... repeat and in the end you'll still have some rocks. AMAZING!

Me thinks you have an uncontrollable urge to be busy.

Clean your room, then take the vacuum apart.........Buy a new vacuum.:sun:
