I watched this show over and over when it first came out. And the recorded it on Beta. It is one of the single greatest reason that I was able to retire at the age of 50. It showed me how to look at the world and everything around me in ways that no teacher every could. Even now when I look at a computer I think about looms. It gave me the ability to work out problems in days that would take my co-workers weeks or months to do. Just knowing the basic beginning point of any object is the fastest way to make it better. I fear without his show I would have (A) been killed doing something stupid as a kid and (B) Struggled in my chosen profession as a problem solver/ reverse engineer. And now that I no longer have to work. I use what I learned from him and his show to make things around the property. From wind powered generators to metal stamping machines run by a water wheel. To me he is the Grand Father of the Reuse, Recycle, Re-purpose movement.
