Build Your Own Cuckoo Clock

 


A good while ago I opined that I would love a "build your own" slot machine kit. I figured it was unrealistic because the amount of work to create the kit compared to the demand probably makes such an endeavor unprofitable.

But now there's a "build your own" cuckoo clock kit, which is pretty close. Such an interesting idea, though I'm unsure if I will pull the trigger on it. I have no need for the end result and I'm skeptical about how hands-on it will be with the clock mechanism itself - does the clock just come as a single piece or are you going to be assembling intricate gears?

Interesting, I thought.

The Best Puzzle of 2022?

 


Is this the best puzzle of 2022? Sure. I don't know. I don't know puzzles but I know this is cool.

This kind of video is self-defeating. Now that I've watched it, there's no need to buy the thing. But I wouldn't want to buy if I hadn't watched the video. Maybe don't watch this. Or maybe start watching it, get a sense of it and stop. Maybe I could buy this as a gift?
