It’s finally time to start one that has been at the very top of my list! I’m so happy to be adding the ROKR Cuckoo Clock (LC901C) to my collection, and I honestly couldn’t wait much longer to open the box and get started.
My first impression? WOW! The design is absolutely gorgeous, with so manyintricate details, gears, little decorations, and that beautiful whimsical clock face. The finished build looks like it’s going to be such a stunning centerpiece.And of course, knowing that it’s a mechanical DIY build with an automatic hourly chime makes me even more excited to see how everything works once it’s assembled!
I’m about to start building, so wish me luck! I have a feeling this one is going to be quite an adventure, but I’m already loving it.
Have you built the Cuckoo Clock before? Any tips I should know before I begin?
Thank you so much! @Jo1 I’m really excited to get started on this one. I’m sure I’ll be asking the community for tips along the way if I run into any tricky steps!
YAY! I am so excited for you to experience this one. It has been a while since I did this one…but I do recall struggling a bit with installling the little light bulb near the roof. Pay close attention to instrctions. Also when installing the roof pieces to the front eaves (V shaped piece) I glued them as I went…because it was hard to keep them to either while assembling. I wish you well.
Thank you so much for the tips! I’m really excited to start this one, but I’m starting to feel a little nervous now! I’ll definitely pay close attention to the instructions and keep your advice about the roof pieces in mind. Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly!
This my favorite of all time! @Nita_Davis is right. Watch the placement of the wires, and the roof can be tricky. Follow the directions slowly and carefully.
When it’s time to set the chime, @Martins_Assembly_H has a video on how to set it. Here is the link.
Thanks so much for the mention @Mark_Rudnik . I am glad to hear that yours went well. I don’t recall seeing you share it here in the community though? Maybe on FB?
I haven’t built this one yet, but my sister who has only built the airplaine tower to date is very interested in this. Looking forward to how it goes for you.
