Did anyone like to build things when they were younger

Post Reply New Topic

My projects were always go carts, tree houses, arcitecture designs....
I got pretty far on my second go kart but decided that drawing the plans up for them was actually better than building and testing them out...I always seem to love a good plan moreso than the actually implemention of the deed itself....

Does that sound strange? Well anyway, just thought i would poke the preverbial stick at those insomniacs out there like me who are bored out of their heads but can seem to turn away from the monitor

I liked lego!

I once made a ferris wheel and a roller coaster out of K-NEX. The ferris wheel had this little "motor" in it so it could spin around non-stop if I wanted it to. Those things took forever to build!

lego was cool but my family was kinda poor so i had to make due with objects around the house...oh and that reminds me as well..i would love to design different stadiums from scratch and model planes and things like that...

Well, I DID use lincoln logs, erector set, and fischer teknik, but also WOOD, METAL, ELECTRONICS, ETC.....

HECK, I thought ALL boys did that! When I took MY toys apart, they were ALREADY broken, and it was to figure out how they worked and fix them. I DID fix most!

Yes, I built things, but only with Lego. Anything else I tried to build wouldn't work.

Still like to build things. Made a solar cooker I finish a few hours ago and if the weather is nice I plan to test it out

I mainly used Lego and plasticine.

I was mainly about taking things apart, to see how they worked. I built thinks too, not very good.

I was a lego addict too .

Yes Lego. And i used to love to build tents and teepees.

I love to build things. As a child I lived in the mountains of Oregon and I spent a lot of time making forts and carving things out of wood. I used clay from the river like mortor and built things out of stone too. I still build. If I need something and have srcap materials lying around, I'll make it. My PC desk I'm at now was made from a broken bakers rack and a table top from a broken table. Its actually really nice and no one ever guesses it was something else originally.

Lego-maniac as a kid here, too. I was big on the space sets.

Has anyone seen the price on these things lately? Holy crap are they expensive!

I was a big Lego addict.I would also spend hours building elaborate "cities" with all variety of objects in the basement.

The bigggest things for me were making structures with things in the forest behind our home,and we had beds of gravel where I would organize patterns in the rocks,imagining elaborate systems of activity.

In middle-school I liked drafting and planned to be an architect.I still like maps,aerial photos,city plans,blueprints,charts,and diagrams.Oddly,I'm overjoyed when designs don't conform to rigid linear structure.Anomalies.Perhaps that's a way of entertaining a safe "anarchy",or simply imprinting from working with irregular,organic materials for so many impressionable years.

I liked Legos. I was never good at building things, though.

Roger Bannister said that, as a child, he liked to build things. He was fascinated by things that moved.

I loved legos (or "Lego") and these wooden blocks we had. I did take apart some stuff, like I fixed our NES controllers when they broke, and messed around with some other electronics.
