The rotatable bench
The Tool Chest
Six bench tools, drawn as casts you can turn in your hand. Spin each one, hover the anatomy hotspots, and read the single setup that makes it cut — the cap iron set close, the rip-filed teeth, the flat back that is the reference face. Drawn correctly, the way a joint is: an insider can check every one with a fingernail.
