Never made one but I've certainly researched them quite a bit.
I'm just fascinated by seeing how things work and the different methods taken to achieve the same goal.
electronics are gorram witchcraft to me even though I have built circuits before, but mechanical things I can generally look at and get a pretty good idea of how they work just looking at them.
Kid may have taken his fascination with it a bit too far by making one and being stupid enough to tell someone else about it, but I doubt he had ill intent to use it on people.
Knowing the gooberment though: they'll probably try to make an example out of him and throw the book at him.
