Does Claude help you build physical things?

I've been noticing something weird about going from idea → actual physical object. The Bike Disaster (no Claude) Tried to repair my bike on my own. Had a tutorial, seemed straightforward. Five iterations of "oh shit I don't have that tool." Finally assembled it, took it out, immediate crash because I'd spec'd the wrong inner tube—apparently "26 inch" isn't specific enough. The Curtains That Actually Worked (with Claude) Decided to hem some curtains and asked Claude for help. Got walked through it: measure, calculate hem allowance, cut, specific machine settings for my model. Hit a snag—thread bird's nest underneath. Claude suggested I was watching the needle instead of the tension marks. Fixed it immediately. Curtains: hemmed. The Question I teach kids in a STEM (maker) program, where we also build things and I'm realizing Claude is really good at breaking down physical processes—the step-by-step, the terminology I need to research further, material suggestions, troubleshooting. It's like having scaffolding that lets me tackle things I've wanted to build but never had a reference point for. So I'm curious: Are you using Claude for actual hands-on, material projects? Like woodworking, repairs, crafts, electronics, gardening? Or does it mostly stay in the digital realm? Does it help you actually execute physical things? I’m trying to explore if LLMs are suitable for that kind of education currently.
