We were especially pleased to learn that TakeItApart dot Net was recently mentioned on the BBC World show “Click.”(link) Possibly as a result, TakeItApart also made it to the Digg homepage (digg it). I welcome all those who heard about us through those two sources as well as anyone else who might have stumbled across this site, and encourage you to register in the forum. You can then create and submit your own disassembly guides. (Or just post them in the wiki.)
If you have been taking things apart your whole life and think you might want to help us, we are still looking for contributors. Drop us a line at jobs [at] takeitapart [dot] net . We cannot pay unfortunately, as we are college students, but we would love to have more disassembly guides to show to the world. This site aims to be a resource, and we hope to make it as complete as possible.
We hope you have a fun time while you’re here and hope you come back!
Chris Tomkins-Tinch, Brandon Kimball, and the TakeItApart team.
Here is the video from the BBC:

Wonderful idea. Have been taking things apart since (at least) age six, and that’s around sixty years ago (when there wasn’t a lot to take apart!). But you miss one essential feature in your strategy. Taking stuff apart is to learn how things are made, what went wrong and then to fix it, where possible - or, at very least, redploy the pile of spares instead of sending them to landfill. Even plastics can be repaired, these days, so there’s no excuse. Accept damaged goods, disassemble, fix ‘em and send ‘em back out for further useful service.
saw it lastnite on bbc, thought i’d take a look. great website
Even I saw your site on BBC Click! Its a wonderful one. Keep up the awesome work guys! Im in college too and know how it is not having enuf funds to keep up a really good site. When I get my hands on some dough, I’ll surely spare some for TakeItApart dot Net !
Another too look at is hackaday.com and instructables.com. They got a lot of Electronic adventures.
HaveFun and keep it up!!!
Congrats on getting on BBC!
I see you liked the street sign generator too, there’s more on http://www.txt2pic.com
I wish you luck and congrates on geting on BBC.
