Informal Poll: Mechanically Inclined or Not?

[xman59]

mechanical inclined. although i do not like working on vehicles, i remodeled the house, have roofed several, any and all kinds or repairs to archery equipment, gunsmithing experiance, machinist training, minor welding, even a little bit of rod and real repair, some boat work, interior customizing on trucks and vans, going back to the 70's, even do some writting, even cement and plumbing , but dont hand me anything electrical!!!

[Stuck]

I like to consider myself a "mechanical supervisor". Like you, you tube has saved me some expensive repair bills.

I worked on em for 10yrs before breaking myself. I can do it, but i dont have the time any longer

[Bisquick]

my buddies consider my mechanical but there is always something new to learn. and if you want me to do something like accounting lets just say that's funny.

I'm pretty good with a wrench. There isn't much on a truck I can't fix besides an automatic transmission. But I like to do research on YouTube. If I can see it once I can do it. The one thing I have no clue what to do is a Diesel engine. I'd like to own a diesel next but I'm just apprehensive about it because I can't fix it, but I'm learning about it slowly through working on our tractor. I owe all my mechanical smarts though to my dad. He is brilliant when it comes to anything mechanical or construction related. I dont have the patience he does with mechanical stuff. Me being younger tend to use the brute force method and end up breaking stuff, most recently I broke a bolt on a pressure washer that was stuck whereas he uses brains. He tells me that someday when I don't have the muscle anymore that I'll get the brains lol.

I've been turning wrenches for a living on cars and trucks for 5 years, aircraft for 10, and now large horse motors and compressors. I do metal fab and have done some carpentry and plenty of construction. If something can be taken apart/put together, I can figure it out.

Some folks say they don't make em like they used too. Thank goodness because them old cars broke down constantly.

They broke down more but didn't require a computer to diagnose and fix!

I'm somewhere in the middle. I can fix small engines, put together stuff, build deer stands, concrete, roofing, minor welding, and minor repairs at work I have to do.
I don't do electrical or diesel. Don't understand HVAC.
I did more when I was a teenager because my dad made me. Looking back, I can't believe some of the stuff I tackled and did.

[gatorgar]

If it can be done, I've done it, lol

I don't consider myself inclined, but will tackle any job if there is no choice in the matter. I would rather have someone who does is for a living do it though.

Mechanical.. Been turning a wrench/ welding since my early teens. I can fix vehicles and build anything out of metal. When it comes to woodworking ill ask for help from my old man. He is a woodworking guru..

Dad was a mechanic for 30 yrs and all I can say is I HATE it when I gotta pull out the toll box at home! I have no patience for that but I got patience for hunting and fishing thou! Lol

I overhaul jet engines for a living so I guess I'm a mechanic.
