The tractor… The tractor was given to Ron as a Christmas gift. It arrived in a zillion little pieces that needed to be poked out of boards. The video from the internet was handy whenever the directions were confusing to him. One needs patience and I would not recommend this project for children. Start with some simpler piece. The assembly was exacting and filled with detail, but the wood was sturdy, and held up to lots of handling. The directions said it would take 8 hours to put together. He spent at least 40. It looks fantastic and for someone who is not into crafts, he really enjoyed putting it together. He has now ordered the mantel clock.

The Kinetic Clock was fun to build but won't ever work The Kinetic Clock was fun to build, even with the trouble with the flexible rows. It came with an electric motor, circuit board and battery case. The motor never worked, either with battery or USB connector. Can't get replacement for the electronics, only wooden pieces. This one is for your burn pile; it will never actually work.

Amazing Design & Technology I’m working on my fourth model - built the Train as my first, built the Car Trailer, the Tank Trailer & will be starting the Big Rig. I’m amazed at the Design & technology that has gone into these models. The on-line instruction is invaluable & I rely on it for everything I build. I did notice that on-line build video instruction is not available for all models-example-the Mechanical Ferris Wheel. Wish it was available. I love Wood Trick models and have convinced friends to give Wood Trick models a try. Lou Cocco

No Customer Service, Poor Quality Control The company sent a puzzle to me with a missing piece. I contacted them via their email (only method found), and they have yet to respond. I would not do business with this company. Poor quality control and no customer service.

Excellent building experience! ( Big Rig ) I am half way through building the big rig. I found that if you pay close attention to detail & develope a careful technique for getting the peices popped out of the plywood sheets & for installing the peices, then you will have an enjoyable time building.I am impressed with the compexity of the big rig. How the pistons & gears work is fun to see.This is my first purchase from WoodTrick & I highly recommend them! I received my purchase quickly.
