Oh no, sounds like you have a little engineer on your hands My 10yo does things like that-- thankfully he doesn't take apart my stuff, but he does build elaborate things out of paper and he does amazing origami. My man (who is an engineer) said the same thing about my boy

he is ten now(almost- in 10 days) and wants to be an engineer. he loves figuring out how things work and asking me a million questions about how everything works. he was like 2 or 3 and was playing in the tupperware stuff where i kept the thermos and unscrewed the bottom and then it shattered shortly afterwards. whew....

ROFL-- one of my son's very first words was "speaker"-- he always noticed where the speakers were in any room. He couldn't even talk; he said "boo-ka". When he was 3, we went to a fair and got on the merry-go-round, and instead of just enjoying the ride, he looked up, saw how the mechanics of the horses worked, and said "Look, Mommy, hydraulic rams!"

Mine wants to be an engineer, too. Yeah-- you and I are doomed
