I am struggling with the workbench in the garage. I pick up the wire/string, click on the interact icon, but the string goes away. I cannot click on the magnets either. What am I missing?

I haven't played this game, but check out this thread and see if it pertains to your problem.

I seem to vaguely remember that I had this happen too and the problem was that I needed to finish some other tasks first.

Thank you for the help. It was a very precise puzzle. You had to click on the exact point of the rod to get the wire attached. I can now move on. Thanks again!!

Yup! That jarred my memory.. if you didn't click on the EXACT point of the rod, it didn't work. Glad you got it figured out.

Glad the information helped.
