Watching him fix and work on stuff is always really calming

My grandfather was a research engineer at Bell Labs during WW II. He taught me a great lesson when I came to him with a non-functional electric motor out of one of my toys. "Sometimes you just have to take it apart, try to understand how it works, then put it back together." It worked then, and has served me well ever since. I have a bit of reputation as a fix-it guy, but really, I mostly just take stuff apart and put it back together.

While watching this video, you made me almost choke on my pizza when you opened the Nerf gun and pieces popped out. I literally LOL'd with a mouth full, causing some to go shooting down my throat. All was fine once I took a drink. Lesson learned "Swallow before Tony takes anything spring loaded apart." Thanks for the laughs and great content.

Go slow when you take it apart. Just pay attention, or do what he did and take a video of it so you can always review it later if needed. It also helps to have a decent size, flat work space to lay everything out on. Practice with simpler things and work your way up to more challenging stuff and it will be easier.
