It is very well put together and well documented. I love that you build jigs within the set to help in building the rest of the project with no tools. Well done

RON W.

It was interesting putting all the gears together in the beginning wondering if I needed to keep track of which one was which later. However each one was visually different. How I had to mount them was different than I expected though. I realized I had to level it front to back as well as side to side also. My clock does run, but it wants to stop after a period of time even though the spring is still has time on it. Maybe more wax?

Scott D.

A joy to build, however, the spring mechanism, once under pressure, works its way out of the hole in the supporting piece behind. I've gotten about an hour, at most, from the clock before this happens. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cliff F.

I loved putting this together, but I could see there are a lot of people who just wouldn't have the dexterity and Patience to put it together. The clock will not run for more that 5 minutes and I don't know why. May be you could write me some things to look for. Cliff Fairley

Robert S.

I love my pendulum clock now that I have been able to get it to work properly. However, it took much effort on my part. I followed the instructions very carefully, especially with placement of the plastic shaft sleeves on each gear mechanism, but the pendulum would only work for a few seconds. I took it apart and checked every measurement and put it back together again and it still did not work. Finally, I had to visually determine where the issues were that prevented the ongoing movement of the pendulum and and make several manual adjustments to many of the shaft sleeves before I could get it to work. Once I had the pendulum working continuously for up to about 5 hours, I had a problem with the minute hand getting caught rubbing on the gear at about the minute 10 position. I added one more shaft sleeve to the steel pin holding the minute hand and now it does not rub against other parts near minute 10. So, in essence, this was a much more difficult assembly process due to the fact that some of the instructions are incorrect. Some of the wheels also seem to be warped so that may have been part of the problems I had getting the clock to function properly. If I hadn't had a lot of experience in building items such as this, I probably would have given up and sent the kit back for a refund. I would not be at all surprised if a lot of other people had the same issues that I encountered, which were very frustrating.

Nice project Directions and printed matter could be better

Donovan M.

Absolute amazing, I'm really into Anavrin's products as well as their team as well. Constantly introducing new wooden model building kits and always ensuring customer satisfaction.

Jordion P.

One of the best wooden puzzles that I've created. Absolutely love it!

Malcom G.

I am an experienced wood ship modeler and found this clock challenging and difficult but unlike anything I've done before. I enjoy spending the time to assemble the clock and when it was completed,I was utterly amazed by the working of the clock. Even took the time to carve it and stain it to give it a vintage look. The outcome is so satisfying that it looks really good.

Dylan J.

Incredible display piece, I feel so accomplished after finally constructing my own clock. Took me a couple of weeks due to other commitments but it was very worth it. Wood clog gears move when wind up, very nice

Joseph K.

Almost done with mine, just a few more pieces.. I can see it really taking shape already, super excited for the end product

Sampson K.

There isn't anymore online shops that provide 2 day shipping to your doorstep. Truly appreciate their effort and services.

Claude M.

Of the six models I have this is by far the best of the bunch!!

Jason P.

The wood is really well cut. I assembled mine in about 5 hours, really fun way to past time. The clock works overall.

Lucas W.

This was a very fun build I did about an hour at a time,and it really works,i love the simple complexity of it although its a little tough to push pieces together by hand its very worth it in the end.

Kennedy F.

This is a really fun kit. It’s well made and precise with the laser cut pieces. I stained several of the pieces so it took a bit more time to complete, but I love the finished results. The pictorial instructions I felt are pretty good. It took me a couple of pages to figure out that the “T” labeled parts are just tools to aid in the location of the axle spacers. Some steps you have to pay close attention to part orientation but other than that they are pretty straight forward. Also had to apply some lubricant to the axles and the main pendulum gear to smooth out the movement.

Walton K.

The clock is easy to assemble, I spent about six hours to complete it. It looks nice on my office table, and my colleagues are are impressed by it

James L.

My 13 year old son and I built this and the build went great, took 4-5 father/son bonding hours over 2 days. It really is an amazing design and the precision of the pieces is incredible. Waxing the gears is really important for the clock to work, I can't stress this enough. Of course, when burning the wax, I did not let my son handle any of it. Seeing the clock kept going was such a satisfying feeling.

Edwin L.

This was my first model. I wish I had done other models first. It is very critical to follow the instructions to the letter.The one critical step is to use the wax liberally and correctly. Otherwise, friction will stop the movement after a short time.Therefore,I do not recommend for beginner. But I have a lot of fun assembling this model especially the mechanical section of the clock.

Enrique N.

Duff D.

FINALLY ALL DONE! The assembling was painfully hard as some parts are hard to connect and it's my first time building it so it was very challenging for me. But it was WORTH IT! The clock works like a charm. The instruction was easy to follow(picture instruction) and all tools are provided.I'm gonna put this on beside my computer cause it looks cool!

Freya K.

I can see this as a good educational toy. It shows the basic concepts of how a clock works, and it kept my son's interest. He spend 8 hours in his room building this and this helps to keep him away from his ipad.I will definitely purchase more in the future.

Louis T.

This took about 6 hours to build with adult supervision, but our grandson told us it was the best gift he received for his birthday. The only thing we would recommend is naming the clock parts and pieces to make it a deeper learning experience for the builder. Also, it is made from wood, which warps a bit after it is built, so adjustments have to be made to keep it ticking. I am amazed that the clock is ticking and happy to see that my grandson enjoy the build.

Mason H.

This was a very fun build I did about an hour at a time,and it really works,i love the simple complexity of it although it's a little tough to push pieces together by hand but it's very worth it as in the end,the clock works perfectly and have no regret purchasing this model.

Douglas W.

We bought this for our 15 year old son as a Christmas gift. He tinkered with it a bit, then left it lying out on the dinner table for a few weeks. I mentioned it a few times,he said yes he would get around to it. I sat down to look it over. About 5 hours later I had assembled the whole thing by myself. He was kinda bummed that I did that and I did feel kinda bad. However.... seeing it put together and actually working ,blew everyone's mind. Fantastic fantastic fantastic. Instructions are detailed and straightforward with drawings. There are several different models/toys/machines. Definitely looking forward to building another one with my son . 5 stars all the way.

David D.

My 12 yrs old and husband built this in a weekend...with lots of breaks. I'm told the directions were good for the most part just a couple confusing parts but they are logical and were able to figure it out. My son was very happy as the clock works! Cheers!

Jason N.

Toby W.

Kenneth L.

All of the parts popped out easily and everything was labeled really well. The instructions were nothing but pictures so it was easy to follow. I like that there were no tools required to build it other than the ones that you have to build yourself. I am very satisfied with the purchase.

Luka D.

My boyfriend is obsessed with the mechanics of watches and he's always wanted to build a watch. Putting this together is the next best thing and on a bigger scale which he said, is a great start.

Fred M.

This was a very fun build, I did about an hour at a time,and it really works,i love the simple complexity of it although it is a little tough to push pieces together by hand but it is very worth it in the end as everything runs smoothly and it is now sitting on my table. Awesome Build!

Hayden N.

Great product, challenging to build. Requires a bit of patience and a little light sanding here and there. It kept grandpa happy and busy for days! Will definitely be buying another model from these guys.

Gabriel D.

I seriously had my doubts because other mechanical models I had built (not by Anavrin) did not work as advertised due to too much internal friction and not enough power. This clock actually works and actually keeps pretty good time. It's amazing. The laser cut plywood pieces removed easily and fit perfectly. The design and engineering are simply amazing. I had so much fun building it. I hope the other models offered by Anavrin are as high quality as this. Enjoy a great model. Thanks to Anavrin and the team!

Nicholas M.

It really works!! It was very difficult to assemble, I had to adjust the wheels here and there, but the model works well! I haven't checked whether it keeps time, but that's not the most important thing. One tip: use a thick liquid oil for lubricating the escape wheel. The clock came with wax only. that's sufficient for the pivots, but not the escape wheel teeth. that's the only point of criticism. Great store, good product!! Many thanks!

Augustine S.

This is amazing on so many levels! While working on it, I was impressed with so many things: the design of the clock itself (obviously), but also the planning of the kit (no screws or glue - just slots & pegs & it's solid!), the layout for cutting, the programming of the laser cutter, & the way of telling how to do it without words (though they could still take some lessons from LEGO). One recommendation: have some birthday candles on hand: the tub of wax they provide won't reach some of the parts as well as the candle would. I had a blast with this!

Jameson L.

This is what Ive already built so far, instructions are clear, detailed images makes it easier - the gears have to be slotted in right so that the teeth clicks for smooth motion. Overall, its been fun and i cant wait to complete it

Walter M.

Just look at her, a real beauty in the makin'. I'm glad i made the decision to buy this

Johnson H.

This was, for me, an incredibly interesting and only occasionally brain-teasing kit to assemble. I’m happy to recommend it as it was really fun and engaging to build this clock. Difficulty level is tricky to assess: on the one hand, the parts are all pre-cut--everything--you don’t even have to cut dowel rods to size, and the only finishing work is to sand down any burrs and rub wax on a few surfaces. But--the parts are in many cases very delicate, and the gear assemblies have to be done JUST RIGHT or it simply will not work. There is no glue, no nails, no screws--everything slides and snaps together and is secured by friction and tension. This has advantages and disadvantages. You can carefully pry things apart with a small screwdriver if you realize you put a gear on the wrong way (Not that this happened to me! And certainly not twice!), but to fully engage the locking tabs on the wooden pieces, you have to apply considerable pressure. That brings me to my first, vital tip: think *carefully* about what you are pressing on, and how you might knock other parts out of alignment if you press too hard. These are wooden pieces; they can break. Press from the center of gears, not the edges. You will put lots of plastic washers on the metal rods that hold the gears, at very exact distances. Be careful not to push them out of position as you assemble the clock. I ended up mashing two of my gear assemblies a bit as I built the frame around them, moving the spacers and suddenly throwing everything out of alignment. It wasn’t the end of the world, but I had to carefully remove the gears, get the washers off, and re-seat them to specifications. There’s tip two: check your work as you go. Once you get to final assembly, every gear you add should turn freely without falling out of it’s slot, and gears should mesh together without jamming or skipping. Enjoy watching the clockwork come together gear by gear--it’s a fascinating process--and stop, check your work, and back up if something doesn’t seem right. Removing the wooden parts from the sheets they come in should be done slowly and carefully. Do not try to force anything. Work your way around parts, wiggling them a bit at a time until they work free. Don’t remove a part until you need it--much simpler that way. You can use the little bit of sandpaper that comes in the kit to smooth out any burrs on the pieces (and yes, the sandpaper provided was enough for me), but be careful here: don’t sand down the edges of joints, or they may not stick firmly in place when assembled. You may find that some of the gears or other parts are a bit warped. If so, they can be pressed between two boards for a day or two. I had a slightly warped gear, but it hasn’t stopped the clock from running so far--I wouldn’t have minded taking the time to straighten it, however. There are extras for a number of parts, in case you break or lose them. Often, but not always, the extras are surrounded by a dashed line on the parts sheets. Now, the instructions. Well, good points and bad. There are no words once you get past the first page, and in a couple of places, I sure would have appreciated some. Think IKEA furniture, and if that thought gives you a shudder of dread, maybe this isn't the model for you (Me, I like IKEA!). The illustrations are super-detailed and generally very high quality. Take the time to understand what each instruction is calling for. You can look ahead, look back, put it down for an hour and go for a walk, whatever, but don’t try to charge through this thing. Inspect the parts and carefully line them up with the illustrations, looking at the positions of holes, markings, clockwise vs. counter clockwise, etc. In lots of places, there are little exclamation marks to call your attention to details that are easy to overlook, or illustrations of correct vs. incorrect assembly. These are all absolutely critical. Pay particular attention to the side views of the completed gears, which show relative positioning of the parts including the washers on each axle. I’ll go through the instructions page by page and call out a few things that I would have liked to be clearer. On page 3, you start by assembling some little spacing templates called T1-1, T2-1, and T-3. There will be more of these--you get to T1-2 and all the way to T2-8 in the fullness of time. These are the spacing templates used to seat the washers on the gear axles at exactly the right distances--they don’t get built into the final clock! Keep them around, I guess, if you ever need to fix one of the gears later. The bottom half of page 3 is simply a set of illustration of *how* the tools are used in later steps--it’s not telling you to actually *do* anything with them yet. There is a little plastic spacing tool in one of the parts bag that is called P19 on the parts manifest, but is referred to as T5 for the rest of the instructions. It’s tiny--don’t lose it! Step 5 calls for waxing the teeth of a gear. The kit originally included a small tub of wax, but evidently this has been removed owing to some kind of international shipping issue. I’m disappointed that there is not a word about this in the kit. You don’t need anything fancy for this--people have used birthday candles, scented air freshener candles, and all kinds of things. I used a combination of birthday candles and some scented wax cubes from the local big-box store, rubbing between the teeth with the candles and then running the gear over the wax cubes, then smoothing things out and scraping off any excess. I actually waxed all of my gear surfaces, not just the couple that the instructions called for. I don’t know whether that improves the clock or not, but it wasn’t any great trouble. In Step 8, the hour hand mechanism can be a bit troublesome. I found the gear wheel was just too tight against the semicircular base piece, so I applied some sandpaper to the base where it was contacting to wear it down a bit. Also, the ring that indicates the hours is not held on tightly and tends to fall off. Well, let it: it gets in the way during assembly anyway. Put it on at the very end and touch it with some glue if you want to. In Step 12, be careful to note the configuration of the pendulum pieces. The two arms on the part at the top are *different*, and one is marked with arrows. If you put it on backwards, the clock will run for three or four “ticks” before stopping (you see a lot of reviews where this happened to people, and I have to wonder how many of them, like me, put the pendulum together incorrectly). In Step 15, touch the dowel rods with the sandpaper if they will not fit the holes--but not too much, as you want the joints to be tight once assembled. From Step 18, as you assemble the frame, be very careful where you apply pressure (I mentioned this earlier) Start from the bottom of the clock and work slowly. Avoid putting any pressure on the gear assemblies, or you may knock the washers out of position. And don’t worry too much if you do--you can carefully work the gears out the bottom of the clock frame and re-align them if need be. You can wind the spring up and let the clock mechanism go before you put the pendulum in, but be careful--it will go *very* fast without the pendulum to regulate the speed of the mechanism. Just wind a quarter turn or so to make sure everything is aligned and engaged. If the gears and the hands aren’t turning, stop and check your work--the pendulum only regulates the speed of the mechanism; it won’t make it work if it’s not working already. At the end, the pendulum will need to be gently convinced to fit through a gap between frame supports that is a little snug. I hope it goes beautifully for you! As I mentioned, I had a bit of the pendulum on backwards, so I was only able to get a handful of ticks out of it at first. Once I fixed that (using a small screwdriver to pry things apart, very slowly, very carefully, a millimeter at a time, working around and around the parts), everything worked as well as could be desired. I get about six hours out of a full wind, and the time is accurate within one minute in four hours at the moment. I haven’t tried adjusting the pendulum yet to improve this. I’ve no idea how long it will last before something breaks or wears out, and I doubt it would survive being boxed up and moved, but I had a great time building it, learned a lot, and I’m enjoying letting it tick away on my shelf for as long as it lasts. Last tip: head out to Anavrin customer support team and ask them for help by sending videos to them on the steps that you're stucked at. 99% of the time they will reply with a day excluding weekends.

Bought the tractor, race car and clock to give as gifts. Ended up having to assemble the clock myself. Day 1 was about 1.5 hours assembling gears... would have been great if there was any writing at all in the instructions. Even enough to explain that all the initial assembly was just jigs for spacing of gears and nylon washers. Day 2, took a big swig of Jameson's, cracked a beer and 3 hours later had a clock that (other than installing one gear backwards) had a clock. Oriented the gear properly and the clock has now been running about 2 hours. Keeping pretty good time. May adjust the pendulum weight tomorrow. We'll see how much time it loses or gains. Excellent kit! Everything was there except the wax to lubricate but, I had beeswax on hand so, all good. All in all, maybe 5 hours, 6 beers and half a bottle of Irish whiskey... wonderful way to pass an otherwise boring afternoon! If I can pull this off half cut, anyone should be able to build this and make it work. It was a lot of fun. Don't get me wrong, there was a bit of swearing. lol Pay VERY close attention to orientation of the pieces in the instructions while assembling.

Sam J.

Can be quite frustrating at times as i find it quite difficult to piece it nonetheless, it works really amazing upon building it which makes me forgot about the tough part hahah love it thanks anavrin
