I'm laid up for quite a while with the new shoulder surgery. This time around, it was a lot more extensive. I thought this gear puzzle was cool, so I got it and assembled it. It has a couple of quirks, but it's neat, nonetheless.
I'll be making a marble run next.

Looks cool! I am thinking about getting the airplane amusement park ride puzzle. Good luck with the shoulder!

Thank you.
I saw the airplane and it's very neat. I'm going to do the parkmour, aka waterwheel, a marble run, and I'm adding a motor with speed control.
Link to my next project in next post.

I have this one, had to reenforce a few joints to make it more stable.

I'd love to build one of these, but it looks like a LOT of work:

Oh boy! That's the real deal. My little model doesn't compare. The amount of work is one of the compelling factors drawing me to it.
