About this room

The Woodshop is for the person who makes things: the woodworker, the weekend builder, the parent who fixes everything in the house.

It is a plank-walled workshop. A long bench on black trestle legs stands in the middle of the floor. Pegboards hang on either side of a tall bright opening between two barn doors. Black drawers and open shelves run down the left wall, oak drawers and shelves down the right.

Makers are hard to choose for. They own the obvious tools, and they have opinions about them. Two approaches work. Give what gets used up, or what they can never have enough of: clamps, pencils, finishing supplies. Or go sideways, to a skill they have not tried yet. Someone who builds shelves may never have carved a spoon. If you choose a power tool, find out which battery they already use first.

How the room works

  1. 01

    Look around the room

    Every piece on the shelves is something worth giving. Open the room in 3D and move through it the way you would a shop, or read the bays below if you would rather scan.

  2. 02

    Pick something up

    Each product opens a short list of the specific things it could mean — a Dutch oven is a size and a colour, a watch is a strap and a face. That list is what the bay pages hold.

  3. 03

    Follow it to the retailer

    Every pick opens a pre-filled search on the retailer’s own site. Nothing is sold here, and no price or stock is shown here, because theirs is the only version that is accurate.
