3D Wooden Puzzles for Adults Owl Clock - Mechanical Model Building Kit DIY Hobbies for Men Women 161PCS Clock Puzzle Creative Craft Gift Home Decor for Family

So I got this for my husband and I as a fun little weekend project. We had the idea to use some woodstain on it because it’s an owl and the general colors of woodstain are that of most owls. We stained both sides of all five of the panels prior to beginning to assemble it and let it dry for a day. We think it came out looking pretty great, but you can judge for yourselves. As for putting it together, we had basically no difficulty in doing so, you just have to go slow and very deliberately. There are plenty of areas during assembly it’s “easy” to get ahead of yourself and you’ve got to dial back the forward movement and be sure you’ve followed the minor details (sanding, waxing, mindful of forward or rear facing piece, gear direction,etc). There were a few times during our double/triple checks we discovered we had something incorrect. All that said, after we were finished it worked perfectly and had a very satisfying “tick-tock” sound while running, it’s very mesmerizing and we’re very happy having it in our living room. Was such a fun project for him and I over some drinks and food during a “shutting I out the world” weekend. We’ll be getting another puzzle from them in the next couple weeks for another project.

Second ROKR puzzle I put together. Definitely garners attention. The timer is pretty darn accurate as well. It was only off by 30 seconds when I set it for 20 minutes.

Husband is retired carpenter, this keeps him busy when bad weather hits. Challenging for him to stay mind active. It’s easy to assemble, not frustrating one bit. This owl clock has moving parts, completed in 2 weeks just picking little at a time. Breakability??? For me it’s an easy answer, he did this clock for mind stimulation and break his boredom, but it was a completed cherished Christmas gift to me. So yes, it’s put in cabinet.

End product looks great and keeps very good time. The timer function quits after running about 5 minutes. Too bad because all the gears and pendulum runs only in the timer mode. Assembly was not too difficult

This was a great fun project to do while my husband was home from a surgery.

Great birthday gift for senior husband! Was not easy very challenging!

Arrived on time and in good shape, is exactly as advertised

My daughter had a good time putting this together — it was a fun kit. But we were never able to get the mechanical pendulum (the coolest part) work consistently. It is correctly assembled, and the battery-powered quartz clock works, but the mechanical mechanism won't work for more than a few minutes. My guess is that trying to replicate a precision metal mechanical mechanism with laser cut plywood is just not possible. It does look cool even not exactly working, and like I said, the quartz clock keeps time. Unfortunately, the coolest part is the back, so you can either know what time it is, or look at the cool owl/gears side.
