Not to be confused with shopping, this class covers basic carpentry & engineering (with some C.A.D.; Computer-Aided Design), except that in Inisfree we do not use wood; we only use alloys, ceramics, certain plastics, stone (including crystals/gems), and other materials that do not involve the harming of animals or trees.

Introduction:
Our Construction course teaches you how to build your own home, among many other structures.
In this course, we teach you how to assemble/fabricate and repair furniture, painting/picture frames, parts, tools, vehicles, and so on; everything that goes in those buildings, or is very useful in transporting things to/from them.

Eventually, students here will also learn about torches and other vocab’/tools related to the more technical/advanced ‘shop’ lessons/methods.

Progression:
First, students learn those terms.
Then they get their hands on the tools, and start learning how to adjust and use them.
After they have experience with the manual stuff, it’s on to 3D-printing; automation and total-precision of everything they’ve just gotten the hang of.
Finally, they’ll begin practicing in underwater and true-weightless environments; this is prep’ for assembling, repairing, and otherwise servicing structural/mechanical items in the most common environments they’re likely to live/work in on other worlds (and on this one; the oceans dominate the planet, and most of the really interesting work is done just above its atmosphere).
