Review on Hands Craft JP295 Wooden Puzzle by Brent Cole

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Don't let the price put you off - not for babes

I've been, but when you compare samples from each Hands Craft bi-leaved turtle (and yacht) it seems easier to disassemble and clean up than some others. blend together best, super-fine-grain wood has almost no camber, hooks or odd edges, and while the instructions are lacking, almost all are - including kits for which I paid twice as much. Some quick-drying superglue gel or thick wood glue that doesn't run is a real benefit, but the details come together quite nicely. This one is nice because it leaves a flatter surface for younger decorating sets. But not too young. It depends on how sensitive your 5-8 year old is. I probably wouldn't have made it without a third hand because I don't have the patience to build models, read nonfiction and novels, garden and play with Lego (that's not me in my 4th decade" insta ") and without glue it would be hairy on its own. Though not as hairy as some of the other puzzles. I'm really happy with it. Satisfied enough I am re-ordering the 3 Hand Crafts models to have an easy starter build and a faster build in some craft kits and some wooden puzzle models with 2-3 star experience. They are good enough for old and young hands to build, but still require a bit of time and a really good result for the average builder.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • High Price
