Personal Interests and Activities

I have a fascination in finding out how things work, and particularly like to take things apart. You break it, I will probably fix it! Anything from desks and chairs to most of electric appliances including televisions, fans, and stereo systems, to name but a few, toys, computers, and of course, ROBOTs!!!
