WITNESS MARKTOOL CO.
Every tool leaves a mark.
Precision tools and exact build plans for woodworkers, machinists, and makers — designed by a forensic engineer for the problems that don’t have tools yet.
First plan titles on the bench · the channel’s opening builds · tooling for small numbered runs.

A workshop with the lights on
The Plans
Build plans that are actually right
Full dimensions, stated tolerances, real joinery — drawn like a machinist’s print, written like a patient teacher. Follow one to the T and the piece comes out true.

The Channel
Designed, broken & rebuilt on camera
The whole process, filmed — the design work, the mistakes, the fixes, the finish. Every build ends with a plan you can put on your own bench.

AI + the Maker
The feed is warming up
One person with good tools can now do what used to take a shop full of people — and the tools are changing monthly. AI + the Maker tracks it: new tools, real projects, honest takes. Our own summaries, always linked and credited to the source.
On the bench. The first digest lands here shortly — then a steady rhythm you can set your shop clock by.
