My dad has been a metalworker for over 35 years.
A few months ago, I went to his house for the weekend, and he was watching videos of people making parts on a lathe. He spends the whole day making parts and relaxes by watching parts being made 😭
I teased him about it. Then it hit me: what if I made a lathe game for him to play?
I did a year of electromechanics at Senai before switching to advertising, so I know my way around a lathe. What I didn’t have was time. Then along came GPT 6 Astra, which is absurdly good with @threejs, and out popped a prototype.
It wasn’t a one-shot deal. I tweaked the UX, UI, and the lathe model quite a bit. But the base that came out impressed me.
And so Mestre do Torno was born.
I’ll take it slow. Play Store by the end of the year.
