Customer photo review of Winding Key — Happy Halloween+2
Dawn W.Verified
This Music box is so cute! The key to wind it up was lost and Wood Trick’s Customer Service was wonderful to work with. My brother-in-law spends his free time building Wood Tricks Models!
Winding Key — Happy Halloween
Customer photo review of Board 2 — Geared safe
Yazan S.Verified
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 ...

Customer video review of Hypnotic Vortex
Russell Y.Verified
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 ...

Customer photo review of Board 1 — Galaxy Marble Run+2
Susan M M.Verified
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...

Customer photo review of Terrain Titan+4
Steven H.Verified
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...

Enjoyed building the firetruck. Did have issues with spring installation, had to get help making it work. Very detailed and easy to understand directions. Will definitely purchase more puzzles from your company.

Customer photo review of Military SUV
Cheryl D.Verified
My wife gave me the Jeep 3D puzzle for Christmas and OMG I had so much fun putting it together. The attention to detail is amazing, and the scale is just right to handle even if you have larger hands. I did use a X-Acto blade to score each cutout to minimize splintering before removing each piece. I’m already eyeing other Wood Trick contraptions for my next build. This 60yr old still loving to assemble toys.

This kit is challenging as i expected it to be and the fit, and finish of the parts is excellent as is the finished projects. I loved putting this together

Customer photo review of Kinetic Clock: Modern
Steve P.Verified
Interesting clock. It keeps good time. When you build this thing, You should really check everything. The curved pieces behind the front face were a little warped. Why? Who knows, Humility maybe? So I glued the pieces in place and clamped them down. After that, I sanded them smooth, then continued. I also sanded everything and lubed everything that moved or looked like a sliding part. This may sound like extra work, but I now have a clock that looks good and keeps good time.

Customer photo review of Timbertron Ultima
William R.Verified
It was a great experience that some of the pieces were hard to get out of the cards. We had to stand everything to make it work though. Properly other than that, it was very fun would like to do more. Would like to do more of the challenging puzzles

I can't rate on the product itself, It has not been opened yet since its a Christmas present. But the ordering and shipping was a breeze. Edit.. this what has been finished so far. He really likes this!

As usual, your instructions were excellent and I absolutely love the result. However I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the six blue plastic panels that were included in the kit. Keep up the good work.

Customer photo review of Enigma Chest+1
Ed F.Verified
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...

Customer video review of Rescue Firetruck
Jairus D F.Verified
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...

I love putting this together! I did by some wood lubricant to help with movement! I can not wait to come home from work every day to work on it more!

Had a great time putting this together! First time doing a wood model like this. Instructions were easy to follow. Took around 14-15 hrs to finish. Would def recommend, and will def try another one.

Customer video review of Galaxy Marble Run
Adam S.Verified
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...

Customer video review of Galaxy Marble Run
Cheryl A.Verified
I really enjoyed putting this model together. I took my time sanding the pieces and fitting them tightly because these types of models need to be pretty exact to work well. I made sure that all moving parts were well waxed. My diligence paid off at the end. With just a few minor tweaks after the first run, it works perfectly. My biggest disappointment is that it is finished:( One word of caution.....beware of becoming mesmerized watching it run. Very had to pull yourself away:)

Phil C.Verified
What an amazing project!! Looks complicated but the instructions are great. Just really pay attention to piece numbers for the globe portion. Wax.wax.wax. I love this thing and it works so very well. I did leave one rubber band off the suspension ramps (you’ll see) and it runs flawlessly. Buy this and have some fun!! It’s mesmerizing.

I have only recently started building 3d wooden puzzles. This was my second from Wood Trick. The puzzles are challenging, but I've found the YouTube videos very helpful. The finished piece is attractive, impressive, and quite sturdy.

Customer video review of Assault Gun AR-T
Jackie L.Verified
This was an awesome build. Took me 12 hours to make. I recommend using nail cutters and a straight blade. Only issue i had was the instructions weren't in english. The trigger needs a bit of work to make it fire better but all and all fun experience.

This second lantern went together as flawlessly as the first. I can think of nothing but positives about it. WoodTrick is the best! I will be watching for new designs while I put together four more Enigma Chests for gifts.

I’ve only spent a few hours on it so far but it’s very enjoyable,to put together . Can’t stress enough too wax and sand the parts that are needed for movement of the music box and the towers assembly. Very carefully throughout and pic are also important for the assembly

I have made over 40 models from several different manufactures. Wood Trick is by far the best. The parts fit together perfectly with just the right amount of force and after completion, they work perfectly.

It's such fun to watch! Wallace, little black cat, thinks it's amazing! Order was placed two weeks before Christmas and it arrived in plenty of time for the holidays. I anticipate more orders.

Customer photo review of Enigma Chest
Lisa Y.Verified
This was the most challenging build that I've done. It was very satisfying to close the lid on the finished chest. It was more satisfying to go through the steps and have it open. I wasn't always sure how everything was going to work together. Trust the process. I recommend watching the YouTube videos.

Customer photo review of Luminous Zeppelin
Jeff M.Verified
Had some problems with the electrical part, but I reached out to customer service, and they helped resolve it. There were challenges, some due to parts, some due to instructions, but got it done. Currently working on the wall mount. But have to say this was a pleasure to put together.

Customer photo review of Atlantic Express+4
Carl R.Verified
I thoroughly enjoyed working on the American Express train. Would recommend it to anyone who needs to relax and leave your troubles behind. I originally received the R17 Loco as a Christmas gift and with the satisfaction of completing that model I ordered the American Express. At times, it was a bit challenging. A plus is no need for glue or toothpicks for assembly.

As all your products they are fun and sometimes challenging. I gave this one as a gift to a friend who lost everything in a fire except a few pieces of jewelry. To top it off I found out she is descended for vikings.

William E.Verified
Spent a lot of time adding the colors. Enjoyed the assembly process and had to take the top level off a couple of times as I couldn’t get the tower to snap in place, had the stand built wrong from the bottom of page 41. Otherwise it went together smoothly. It doesn’t appear that I can submit a video clip with the photos, either photos or video. Am I doing something wrong?

Customer video review of Spiral Marble Run
Victor H.Verified
I’m not finished yet assembling it so I won’t comment on the total function but it is more intricate than other marble runs I’ve done. Some of the instructions are a bit vague but it is fun to figure it out. Definitely one of the more detailed but interesting ones.

Quinton T.Verified
The only issue I’ve had so far is that sometimes it is hard to find the pieces as they are scattered. The other wood projects that I have put together had a better numbering system. This is a small hiccup, just takes longer to find the pieces.

Customer video review of Color Balls — Gravity Marble Run
Stephen H.Verified
Thank you for sending me the new marbles, I was able to select enough of the smaller size , to make it work correctly, now if I could just get the two directional gates to work, any ideas on that problem? It seems the marbles don’t have enough weight to make them go back and forth. Anyway , thank you for your help.

Abraham E.Verified
Thanks for the parts! I just got the parts I needed and that was just fine. After I requested the part, I found it in the other extra pieces board, but just as well, as I lost another one. Between the horse and the engine, this is a wonderful model. Thanks again.

Very cool build, I'm still building it, taking my time to sand and wax all parts. So far parts are smooth in rotation. Can't wait to finish it and see it move! Note, some page could use, two required.

Stanley K.Verified
I love assembling 3D models. I've done 3 clocks (1 cookoo & 2 pendulum), a sailing ship, a harry potter pin ball and the enigma chest. Each were from different suppliers. I really liked the chest from Wood Trick. Best of all it works (ie opens) as long as you follow the 11 steps. Each of the 400 to 500 pieces fit perfectly. Assembly took me about a week working a few hours at a time.

I’m a 75yr old woman and I found this model fun and a bit challenging to assemble. Broke a couple of pieces and found replacing them was very easy using your web site. I want to do one of the marble run models next.

Customer photo review of Board 1 — Spiral Marble Run
Michael G.Verified
This was the hardest model yet. The clock is a close 2nd. I did have the most trouble get the thin parts out of the board. Multiple breakage although most I was able to glue together. I almost have the construction done. So I will have to fine tune it. On a couple of the runs the marble Flys off of the track. But I did need parts from board no. 1 that I couldn't mend. So I needed replacement parts
