shop time

Store browsing period

Shop time is the hours spent working in a workshop, garage, or manufacturing facility—time devoted to hands-on fabrication, repair, or construction rather than office work or planning.

In educational settings, it refers to class periods in a workshop: Students get two hours of shop time per week.

The term emphasizes practical, physical labor with tools and materials.
