Review on 🧩 Wooden Puzzle Line by UGears Models by Cliff Gibs

HORRIBLE PRODUCT - AVOID IT!

This UGEARS model is the worst wooden model I have ever built. There are many problems with this product. Plywood is very fragile. Comes off easily. Before you begin, make sure you have some wood glue and remember that strength is your worst enemy. If you have them, use vernier calipers to double check the dimensions. Also have a sheet of sandpaper handy as many of the tenons and grooves will need adjustment. Make sure you have a magnifying glass as the instructions are microscopic. I had to cut new sails from white cotton fabric because the sails in the set were constantly wrinkled and this material cannot be ironed. I had to glue a lot of parts that needed to fit and stay assembled. For the thread you need a needle with a large eye. UGEARS could have provided it, but didn't. Instead, they tell you that you have to share the toothpick to get the job done: cheap and doesn't work. I spent 20 hours building this model and it is very disappointing. I'm toying with the idea of not finishing it. I will definitely not post.
