I had such a great experience with WoodTrick! While putting together one of their puzzles, a piece broke — totally my fault — and I reached out to them to see if I could buy a replacement. They sent me the piece right away, completely free, and it arrived so fast. Their puzzles are super well-made and so much fun to build, but what really impressed me was their customer service. It’s rare these days to find a company that takes care of their customers like this. I’ll definitely be getting more ...

Scott and I have long been captivated by the mesmerizing beauty of kinetic sculptures. We found the Hypnotic Vortex by Wood Trick after putting a search for “kinetic sculpture” on Google. We immediately placed an order and it was delivered rather quickly. Luckily, a step by step video tutorial is available on YouTube that was very helpful. The assembly was complete by the next day and it works wonderfully. We made a short video montage of photos we took putting it together and the glorious end ...

What an incredibly fun puzzle! I have built a LOT of these puzzles from various designers. This one was, by far, the best I've built. The quality, design and final product was "galaxies" (pun intended) above the other sellers. The instructions were clear, concise, extremely well thought out and easy to understand. The cut of the pieces was perfect and the pieces were sturdy. I had two occasions where I had to deal with customer service because I broke two pieces. They were incredibly help...

This was a very enjoyable and challenging project! Of the more than 4 dozen completed wood projects, mostly mechanical, this is my favorite. Also the one that took the longest to build. As with all Wood Trick kits, the instructions could be improved with details of correct orientation of critical components, my experience was the equalizer. I did miss assemble one section and had to disassemble and correct the error, but this is what makes these kits great! The excitement of success when the con...

Solid pieces with sturdy (thicker than other manufacturers ) panels resulting in no breakage in removing pieces from panels or assembly. Suggest providing a bit more wax. I found a couple of anomalies in the instructions but fairly intuitive regardless. After assembly I found all movements worked smoothly with the exception of the “code” wheels. Maybe more wax would help. Thanks and please work towards getting a distributor in Canada! I would buy more Wood Trick products if I could avoid ship...

I have done several of these models, and putting this one together was a real challenge and a real joy. I broke a mirror pushing in the wrong place, and broke the handle off the shovel removing it from the card, but there were spares. There are plenty of spare parts. My only caution is that the things that hold the ladder up are pretty aggressive at first so take care raising and lowering the ladder the first few times until it wears in. The precision, care and design of this thing is amazi...

WOW! This kit is made so well. The pieces are thick enough that as long as you are careful most won't break. Some pieces are more delicate and you need to figure out how to apply pressure to either remove the piece or to attach it to the rest of the structure. After I broke a few pieces it was very easy and free to get the replacements. This was a very pleasant surprise. After it was put together it was very easy to use and play with for my niece and nephew home are both under 10. I will for s...
