Hank Built creates handcrafted wooden fidgets centered around
original mechanics, craftsmanship, and tactile satisfaction.

ABOUT

Founded by Aaron Henry, Hank Built is a Michigan-based workshop dedicated to creating original fidget mechanics and functional art from wood. With a background spanning physics, clinical mental health counseling, and hands-on craftsmanship, Aaron approaches fidget design from a unique perspective—combining engineering, creativity, and an understanding of how tactile experiences can help people focus, relax, and stay present.

What began as woodworking projects in a garage during the pandemic evolved into a passion for transforming ideas into inventions. Rather than replicating existing designs, Hank Built focuses on developing entirely new fidget experiences, including the patented Hank Spinner, a magnetic-based mechanic unlike anything else on the market.

Each piece is crafted to showcase the natural beauty of wood, using carefully selected species and finishes that preserve their authentic colors. The result is a collection of sustainable, handcrafted creations that blur the line between fidget toy, functional object, and artistic expression.
