I think I'd like a simulation game where it simulate a workshop. I suppose like World of Guns meets Euro Trucks simulator but for woodworking/metalworking tools. The idea being one could play the game to learn what tools do what and how, make stuff, and potentially have transferable skills to work with real tools.

I think it would be very difficult to get the level of control right, you perhaps want a hand lathe view like World of Guns (very detailed, can manipulate all components and tear down the whole tool) but if you're planing a plank you would want to almost wave the tool at the surface and have it work.
