Possibly. Could you clarify a bit more?
When you say
>I find very cool electronic
are you talking about diagrams and plans for building them, or electronics that may be slightly broken or in sad shape?

If the second, I am right there with you. I would LOVE to find out how to repair some electronics, because then dumpster diving would be much more fulfilling.

I'm talking about making circuits using diagrams.

I'm a noob myself but you should get a book on the basics of electronics, a bread board, a hand full of parts and then start trying things out while working yourself through the book. A multimeter could also be useful.

Currently I'm using Practical Electronics for Inventors. I can't really say if it's bad or good but it's been recommended often and I think I'll be fine. A good book for later on is The Art of Electronics. But this one should really interest you later more as a reference book.

I'm not a godlike by any means at electronics. But here's some stuff to help you out.

Don't cop out with modular soykaf .
Practical electronics for inventors - Good book, theory heavy, but covers the characteristics of almost everything.

The Art of Electronics - Now in it's third edition.

EEVblog - One of my favorite youtube channels pertaining to electronics. The guy is totally passionate about what he's doing. https://www.youtube.com/user/EEVblog

Make Getting Started With Arduino - Because modular is easier.

The equipment you'll need off the bat isn't that hard to find. But there's a few kits on amazon that will get you started.

Good luck anon. It's going to be a fascinating journey, I'd recommend going to youtube for explanations for some soykaf . It really helps.

I use the Navy Electrical Engineering Training Series (NEETS)

Just use wget to grab the pdfs
The HP seems to be interesting anyways.
