I sarted DIY in 1970-72 or somewhere then. I only remember i was in 4th grade. By the time I got to 10th+ grade I was designing amps with my father's friends and building all sorts of speakers. My father was an engineer and many of his friends were but since none of their sons were technically bent so they (all his friends) encouraged me instead.

However I went beyond audio and built a bike in 1981 in my room! Actually I took a bike apart (250cc Yezdi) and put it together in my room over a weekend just to freak my mom out.

Now you know why they (my parents) dispatched me to another country as soon as they could.

College was boring. Lab was fun after they realised that I was self sufficient.
