Brass Bestiary
A watchmaker's apprentice completes brass animal automata inside a bevelled glass case. Fit gears, cams, belts and levers onto a pegboard chassis so one mainspring produces the motions each blueprint asks for — a heron that dips, a beetle that opens its wings, a five-joint peacock. Twenty-four puzzles across four chapters, a free bench, and a cabinet of finished creatures. No timer, no score: the reward is watching the mechanism perform.

SIDEREAL
You keep a brass orrery. A patron names the bodies and the hour; you cannot move the sky, only the gearing that drives each arm. Fit a pair of wheels to every spindle — a bigger driven wheel turns the arm slower — read what the machine predicts, and let it run until they come round to the same bearing.
