ROKR - Wooden puzzles
Discussion
Anyone build them? I picked one up at the garden centre awhile ago and whilst I'm completely cack-handed it's a nice,calm way to spend a couple of hours and hopefully the end result will be worth it.

I was gifted the clockwork steam locomotive a year or two ago, managed to build it over a couple of evenings. Great fun to build and operate once sorted (see next para), some of the small parts are fiddly and need to be persuaded out of the sheet with care.
There was some fine adjustment required to parts of the drive gear mechanism to encourage a better mesh. That was tricky as the disassembly and reassembly did put a bit of stress on some parts that wouldn’t have coped with much more disturbance, a couple of bits did splint and needed a spot of glue to save them.
Good luck! The marble run looks fantastic, and the website even offers troubleshooting

In a similar vein, I've built several Timberkits musicians including this one - https://www.timberkits.com/shop/view/16-All-Produc...
Some of the kits benefit from 'selective assembly', or a pre-glue trial to optimise stuff like running clearances and the timing of the movements to make them realistic.
A very pleasant way to spend some free time during the dark nights!

My son has 2 of their elastic band guns, the shotgun and revolver, they are really fun to build and work very well,

Just completed the Space shuttle kit.
I was really impressed with the marble maze one I built a year or so ago and decided to give this one a try.
A bit fiddly in places and needed to concentrate with the electronics and led light runs.
But when complete and all the movement etc work correctly its a great fun model that's a good piece of design.
I will be looking at others for sure.

I have done an owl clock and a swinging aeroplane, both very good quality, and although tricky to assemble at times they are not impossible.
Try aliexpress for good prices, although take to avoid copies. You can also often find them these days in garden centers, but as we all know garden centers to tend to price their stock at the maximum retail price.
