About the Game

Make It by Hand in Your Own Woodshop

In Made by Hand, you create wooden objects with your own hands, from a kitchen cutting board to pieces of furniture. Choose your wood and blueprint, work at the bench, and watch rough pieces gradually become finished creations.

From Board to Finished Piece

Take your time: follow the blueprint, measure each part down to the millimeter, mark the wood with a pencil, and only then make your first cut. Shape the parts, smooth the edges, sand the surfaces, and assemble your creation. Use hand tools and machines: attention to detail matters at every step, not just when you look at the finished piece.

Show Your Work to Buyers

Photograph your finished piece and list it for sale online. Receive ratings, likes, and comments on your work, and see how buyers respond to it.

Send Orders from Your Workshop

When a piece sells, a delivery drone picks it up and brings it to the customer. Clear some space on your workbench and start your next project.
