Review on πŸŽ… Wood Trick Music Gifts Santa: Charming Musical Present for All Occasions by Maurice Vianes

Revainrating 3 out of 5

But overall I like it.

A few things here. I got this as a gift for me and my SO. We put it together as a newcomer. The code on the box that should link you to the tutorial video doesn't work. So don't try to find a build video for that particular build. We found one for the ballerina body, but it's a little different. The toothpicks were annoying. We got them working, but to smooth them out we used a dremel. If you don't have any of these. Then you have to get creative. The instructions recommend using a box cutter, but it is not included. We got to a part where the fence needed to be connected to the platform with toothpicks. Unfortunately, the holes on the platform weren't aligned enough so we couldn't line up the fence and toothpicks properly. We improvised and forced him to stay, using some fences that should fit. This is perhaps the part that bothered me the most. This was frustrating because there wasn't really a solution as the mounting holes just weren't sized properly. :(These issues aside, I love the final product! We were able to assemble it and the instructions were very clear and easy to follow from the booklet that came with it. The music box worked and moved exactly as it does in the video. ! Helpful Tip: When told what You are supposed to do, sand the sides of the part, REALLY sand them! Take your time. This process took a little time, but it requires sandpaper. Trust me! The more time you spend sanding those sides and... spend on crafting smoothing them and then growing them, the better they'll move in the end! So there were a few things that bothered me, but for the price I spent I really like that we came .It was a really fun activity together and now we have you a keepsake for the upcoming Christmas!
