I started "making" watches, really just assembling cases, dials and movements. But...you get sucked in. I have now dug into movements. I have done some repairs: reversing wheels and keyless works. I've changed some keyless works to eliminate the date function on dateless dials.
I ended up at an IWC course where we took apart a practice movement and put it back together, under direction. That was pretty amazing. It is a bigger movement, more like an old pocket watch movement. But it is cool to have it work after reassembly!
In the new year, I'm going to fully service (disassemble, clean, oil and reassemble) an ETA 2824-2 movement.
