I've supervised a fair number of ham club build projects in the last few years. I would have expected hams to have an above-average hands-on ability, but this is far from the case. I've watched good hams fail to use things like measuring tapes properly. Almost none can solder.

It's strange to me, because I've always been driven to see how things work. It's been an obsessions as long as I can remember. I lack the ability to see how people can be so disinterested.
