I made this mainly the summer after my junior year in high school. I kinda consider it one of my very first "real" projects I've done.

We got handouts of every machine we had in the shop and had to take a test on the parts and what they did, so from those handouts I made this site hoping it would make it easier for people to study.

This is very very nice. If it doesn't hit the front page, you should consider resubmitting as a "Show HN", which typically gets more votes. This is great work, and kudos to you...both for making a polished, professional website and for doing so in the service of education.

I agree with danso, this is really good work, and it's really cool too.

How long ago did you make this? The design style is fairly current (in my opinion), you may have designing on the cutting edge.

Great work, you should develop this into a Clever app.

Really well done! I actually worked in a shop similar to this (we were more focused on CNC machines but we had all the fab equipment too) during my freshmen year in college. Not only do I think the site is nice in general but it would have actually been useful to have a place people could quickly look on their phones to see which buttons to press and which levers to pull to operate the machines.

Honestly, I would pay for a website like this but with even more stuff. English is my second language, but I currently reside in an English speaking country, and sometimes when I need something specific for some machine, car, dryer etc. I have to spend just too much time trying to learn names of parts needed to fix stuff.
