Review on Adults ๐Ÿ”ซ Wood Trick Assault Model by Billy Danaher

Impressive! Best at Puzzles

My ninth wooden puzzle, second wooden puzzle, first toothpick puzzle! I was a bit unsure when I started using toothpicks, but eventually I developed a procedure to deal with their use, accidental sticks, and bleeding. Yes my fingers hurt but the finished model is amazing. Eventually I had to use a band-aid to stop the bleeding all over the tree and quickly found that it also offered protection from further stings so I put it on my other fingers as well. The fabric ones work great. As for the toothpicks, I used a small vice to set them in and a piece of wood behind the piece to hold it in place while I inserted the toothpick. I like the thickness of the plywood as the result is a strong, durable model. I quickly gave up the toothpick knife recommendation in favor of a cuticle trimmer. Gets very close to the wood and gives a smooth finish. The downside is that you'll occasionally get cut off during flight. So make sure you wear safety goggles if you choose this route. I found the instructions very clear and the pieces fit together very well with very little sanding required. Expect a lot of time to put this puzzle together but the finished product is very good and works exactly as it should. The only thing I would like is a larger piece of wax as I need it for some toothpicks. Luckily I don't have much left of the other puzzles. I highly recommend it. Good job, wood trick.
