A drafting theatre for Rust experiments before they harden into products.
Sketch
Rough lines are allowed to breathe. The rig waits under acetate, not yet correct, already testable.
Jig
Cut parts meet their constraints. Pivots, pins, and borrowed motion show what the sketch forgot.
let movement = pinned.borrow();
Compile
The mechanism gets labels instead of polish. Errors become flags; passing edges turn oxide green.
Stress Test
Pressure arrows push the creature sideways. Drag the caliper jaw to measure how far the idea flexes.
try again near the hinge
remove cleverness
keep the strange part
Revision
Vermilion acetate records what broke. The notes are not failure; they are handles for the next motion.
designer's note: still improvable
Release Candidate
Not finished. Just sufficiently honest to leave the bench and invite another experiment.
