    Good, and… you can also remove the chuck from the front housing (very handy if you ever want to replace/upgrade the chuck) and then disassemble the chuck into parts. Keep up this great site.

    Does anyone else feel like cleaning off all of the inside parts? I’m really tempted. How great would it be to have all of those parts perfectly cleaned and mounted on your wall as art. Its really a beautiful thing.

    I hope you dont just toss this stuff wen you are done.

    We certainly don’t toss the things we take apart. =)

    We always reassemble them back to working condition. (Which has required soldering on a few occasions.)

    I looooove to take things apart and put them back together again. You can get a great sense of satisfaction in fixing an expensive whatever and only spending a few cents to do it. Cool site, keep it up.

    Eeeuuu - it’s all grubby!
    That looks like fun.
    Actually - the computer section looks a bit like my friends handiwork - he tries to fix stuff - and it ends up more broken. (Wow that’s bad English)

    The cogs would look cool framed when Brasso’d :)

    This is interesting. But mere pictures will not do. Explain what you do also by the side of each picture.Best wishes.

    We intend to annotate the guides eventually, but we find our free time torn between adding a new disassembly or annotating an old one. Posting a new disassembly usually wins.

    Thanks for the feedback, though.

    Hmm… That’s a tough one.

    Interesting now? The design of the Gamecube is certainly impressive.

    As for overall most interesting? Probably when I was young and opened a computer for the first time. (and saw what was inside)

    Yeah, Ive recently come into a cordless drill. Im lost, i’ve got the whole thingapart, but the clutch/chuck and it is so annoying. Maybe you could try a cordless drill, i could use some help!

    This is pretty cool–I’m a mechanical Engineering Student., You know a modern drill would probably have a planetary gear system, but other than that the basic design has not changed at all. I just took apart a reciprocating saw for a project and the motor looked exactly the same as it does here, just a little cleaner and with straight plastic blades on the cooling fan instead of whatever metal turbine thingy they got goin’ here..

    I think my dentist followed this repair guide. It probably explains a lot.

    Well John, You started off well but it died at the end, sounding all very technical at first which grabbed my attention, but then you killed it for me at the end with the total lack of tech knowledge, by calling it a thingy, but good effort.
    Reminder: John must pay more attention in class………………

    Names of each part if given on the sides will do better.
