The warmest room in the cabinet — a shelf of small mechanisms that do nothing useful and do it well. Everything here works: flip things, solve things, turn things. And the shelf keeps one secret.

0 of 5 turnsCrank the handle — 5 full turns to go. The workshop keeps one drawer hidden; the paw above marks where something sleeps.
