Wood Trick Pendulum Clock Wooden Review

This set was fun to build. The timing is pretty accurate, I got about 5 minutes faster than 12 hours on the default configuration. The kit includes instructions on how to adjust the pendulum if it is too fast or too slow. Some recommendations/notes when purchasing this kit. I recommend buying extra paraffin as the amount that came in my kit wasn't enough. All gears grind and rub, I had ticker issues initially simply from not grinding the first gear enough. You will need a little over 2 pounds…

This is just a beautiful wall clock! The pendulum wall clock comes in a great colorful packaging with a compact design and makes a great gift. The delivery was lightning fast! The fact that I hung it on the wall caused a lot of conversation and already received many compliments. The clock has an antique look and goes perfectly with my vintage lamps and mahogany furniture. The watch is elegant, with a touch of formality, not at all "old fashioned" as it seemed to me. I also love sustainable…

To be honest, it's not worth the price. These are laser cut pieces from cheap wood that break easily. The instructions on some parts seem a bit wrong. Removing the pieces is very difficult, even with a small piece to pull out. Sandpaper is not enough for all necessary sanding work. The wax given is not enough, which is not enough. Toothpicks break easily. I don't want to see toothpicks anymore. The smell of wooden toothpicks makes me sick at the thought of that nightmare. For the price they…

I'd say it was fun, but unfortunately I can't tell you if it actually works or not. The mechanism that counts the seconds of my watch is badly deformed on the edges. It's like a record that's been left in the car for too long. It doesn't start every time and the clock stops after 15 seconds. That means even if I can get it to move, if it's moving back and forth in the same second, it'll get stuck most of the time. My kit was missing a few parts that I had to improvise and one of the gears is…

Page 6 Step 1. Be very careful when installing the gear on 35-36-36. MAKE SURE the gear teeth are moving away from you as shown in their diagram. My picture is wrong. I glued my assembly. Luckily I was able to find a thin .010 kerf saw on this site. I hope I can cut and flip it. Also the best way I've found to attach 39-37-38 is to use toothpicks (CLEAN) to cut one end where the tip starts. Cut them out of the box, avoiding separation. Apply a layer of paraffin to it (I use an old scented…

Took me about 10 hours to fully assemble this item. The final product looks great, but I'm still working on making it work properly. Upon reassembly, I found that two gears (19 and 20 on page 9) were misaligned. Another review also noticed this, noting that if you rotate the gear 90 degrees, it aligns correctly. However, this is not the case as the center hole is shifted. I was able to fix this with a dremel and a small attachment. After assembly, I encountered several issues, partly due to…
