Wesley was working late in his forge, the rhythmic clang of hammer against metal filling the air. He had just finished crafting a particularly intricate set of gardening tools when he heard a tentative knock on his workshop door. It was Jasper, nervously fidgeting with a notebook in his hand. Jasper's older brother, Hunter, was a regular customer at Wesley's forge and had mentioned Jasper's interest in design. Intrigued, Wesley invited Jasper in. Jasper shyly presented his sketches – detailed plans for a self-watering system he hoped to build for his family's garden. Wesley was immediately impressed by the ingenuity of Jasper's design and the meticulous care he put into every detail. He saw a kindred spirit in this young man - someone who, like him, valued craftsmanship and precision. Over cups of tea, they discussed the project, Wesley offering suggestions and insights gleaned from years of experience. A bond began to form between them – a shared passion for creating something both functional and beautiful.

Jasper, driven by his passion for design, attends the local Farmer's Market hoping to find inspiration. He comes across a stall showcasing beautifully crafted hinges – the work of Thomas Lawrence and Rowan Montgomery, John’s older brother. Impressed by their craftsmanship, Jasper strikes up a conversation with them. John, ever observant and helpful, notices Jasper’s interest in the hinges and offers him a detailed explanation of how they are made and what makes them unique. Jasper is struck by John’s knowledge and quiet confidence despite his young age. This unexpected encounter leads to a burgeoning friendship between Jasper and John, bridging their different ages and interests.

Jasper, eager to learn more about intricate mechanisms, sought out Hector Hawkes, whose name he had heard whispered in awe within maker circles. He found Hector at a bustling makerspace, hunched over a workbench laden with gears and springs. Jasper, mustering his courage, approached Hector, inquiring about the automaton project he'd been working on. Impressed by Jasper’s youthful enthusiasm and keen eye for detail, Hector welcomed him into the fold, offering guidance and sharing his vast knowledge of mechanical design. As they worked side-by-side, a bond formed, fueled by their shared passion for innovation and precision.
