What does 'Fiddler' mean?

I heard this guy saying 'I like to play with things, I'm such a fiddler' What does that mean, 'I am a fiddler'? That's he's noisy, childish? By the way he's Irish... Can you guys help me out?
Thanks

To fiddle can mean to touch or move things with your hands for no particular reason, perhaps out of nervousness or boredom. It can also mean to tinker with something in an attempt to adjust or improve it.

Fiddle can also mean just doing worthless work. Stop fiddling around and get back to work.
