Shopcraft playable prototype
WELD. REPAIR. SWING TRUE.
Start with Mara's Gate Corner Bracket: a capture-ready graybox job from stock rack to installed payoff. Existing welding, lathe, and print-room stations remain below.
A learning simulation, not real-world welding instruction. Real tools require qualified supervision and proper PPE.
Job 04 // Mara's gate
Corner bracket
Step into the bay to begin the simulated job.
Steel rack // blanks
Existing station // MIG practice
STAY ON THE SEAM.
Continue exploring the fuller isolated welding reference station after the short capture slice.
Training sequence
Secure the joint before you strike an arc.
Secure first.
In a real shop, loose stock can shift, pinch, or become a projectile. This prototype keeps that habit visible from the first job.
New station // Wood lathe
TURN THE ROUGH INTO A HANDLE.
First-person shaping with a gloved tool view, visible shavings, repairable chatter, and a forgiving finish read.
Target // field handle
Move the held tool across the spinning blank. The roughing gouge removes high spots; the skew chisel refines the necks and finish.
Start the lathe, then make a light left-to-right pass on the blank.
Simulated game view · not real-world safety instruction
New module // Blueprint reading
READ THE JOB BEFORE YOU RUN IT.
Learn how a simple bracket print communicates the details that shape a simulated shop plan.
Fabrication drawing // FB-120
Plate bracket with two through-holes. Units: millimeters.
2X Ø10 THRU
Hidden hole edges
This is an educational simulation for practicing how a print communicates intent. It does not replace supervised training, a qualified instructor, or real-world shop safety procedures.
THIS IS THE FIRST CUT.
The full Shopcraft vision expands this kind of tactile feedback across the shop: welding, turning, CNC, woodworking, repair jobs, and the economy around them.
