Nice, fun to build but delicate and doesn't work consistently

PROS: Good project Easy to understand instructions Fun to build Good quality Assembly time took hours (time well spent) CONS: Doesn't work to meet deadlines (doesn't work for more than a minute, needs to be pressed to start it again; although we leveled and waxed the parts as directed) parts. See image with handles pointing to two parts) good quality overall but the video as instructed lacked any other detail or information than the commercial type of video (although no video was…

But it's fun. in Puzzles

This is a fun set but the instructions are complicated. You have to look carefully at each photo and pick out small details before assembling the part. It would be wise to use a razor blade to cut through the attached straps before removing the piece. In this case, too, a small piece of veneer sometimes breaks off. If you don't live in an area with optimal humidity, the parts will warp. This will cause startup issues when you're done. If your clock only runs for a while, look at all the gears…

Pros
  • Good item
Cons
  • Slightly torn

fun building; poor quality

I've tried bending the axles so the gears are straight, but then the axle isn't perfectly centered and it still wobbles. 2). What I love about this set is the use of metal axles and plastic bushings. Some axles in other kits are…

A fun and useful project for mechanics lovers

I really liked this project; Both the construction and the finished product. But assembling it is a difficult, tricky task. So unless you have a clear preference for such things, you should start with something simpler. The laser cut parts are really well done. And the assembly instructions, with one notable exception discussed below, are the epitome of clarity. There are almost no printed words, but the charts are excellent. Study them very carefully; There are many details that will answer…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Hard to say
