Rat × The Engine-Smith
Grinds away at one thing in silence, with a spare for every single part.
The Engine-Smith grinds away at one thing in silence until it is right. The Rat keeps a spare for every single part. So you build with a redundancy no other Smith bothers with, and what you make takes a beating and keeps running. The reserve layers onto the exactingness, fine work with a just-in-case worked into every joint.
Your work is both precise and durable, which is rarer than it sounds. Most makers get one or the other. You drill the detail like any Smith, then quietly stock a backup for the bolt that might fail, the gear that might wear, the case no one else thought to plan for. The Waxing Gibbous glows like a furnace coming up to full, heat building toward completion. You are the one whose engine still turns when the others have seized.
Here is the catch the Rat installs. The spare parts pile up without end, and perfectionism plus a held-back hand means you feel forever one move short, never quite ready to ship. The work is done and you are still machining a redundancy for a redundancy. Betelgeuse is the craftsman's red fire, burning over the forge. Some builds are good enough already. Press deliver before you cut another spare.
