Tools

Hand, power, computer. The tool wall runs left to right through time: the hammer, the level, the square, the tape, the saw, the drill, the lathe and the drone. Each tool changed how fast a trade could work and who could do it. Touch stations let you try the old and the new side by side. At the end, a CNC mill cuts a part from a drawing behind glass.
