Dated protocol
A dated protocol that makes the work inspectable.
STOP 01 — THE DOOR
Let me show you around the workshop.
Choose the machine. Or prove the object first.
A workshop publication for small businesses comparing desktop fabrication by use case, total cost and operating reality — with a separate Studio for commissioned objects and prototypes.
Two decisions. Two clean paths.
STOP 02 — HOW WE PROVE THINGS
What evidence means here
No badge without all three.
Real artifact
A real artifact produced during the test, not a promise.
Workshop images
Inspectable images of the bench and the result.
Operator-tested = dated protocol + real artifact + inspectable workshop images. Researched = documented sources. Editorial framework = an explicit decision method.
STOP 03 — CHOOSE THE PROCESS
Start with the job, not the machine.
STOP 04 — FIND YOUR MACHINE
Your space gets a vote.
Four questions. A process verdict, space requirements and links to the real category pages.

Two doors, no theatre.

FROM THE BENCH
Protocol before promise.
A dated artifact, inspectable images and the conditions of the test. When direct evidence does not exist, the page says so.
