Update 1: Cuckoo Clock

There was a little delay with this build as my instruction manual was missing page.
Thank you @Liset for taking your time and send me the pdf file of every single page of the manual that you had.

I started painting the parts. Adding touch of golden colour, red, purple and white. This kit already have beautiful colours so I don’t want to customise it too much.


I notice the bird is a little rigid when it pops out. Does anyone experience similar thing? And will it be smoother after installing the electrical parts?

Looking really nice!

There are no wax so I didn’t. I was not satisfy will the bird chime but didn’t come out of the door. So I took it apart and fixed it. And that works well now.

Luckily you were able to fix it :flexed_biceps: Do you also know what the problem was?

Yes. I figured it out the possibility of the issue when I saw the instruction video on YouTube. So happy it works now.

I couldn’t save any because I used them all already. When it’s come to this one, I don’t have any left. :joy:

I am thinking you could buy more wax if needed?

Thank you :hugs:

You can also use candle wax. Its the same or request a new one

Oohhh that’s why is so shiny :astonished_face: because I bought a gold paint but… it’s hard to use it ~ on wood, it doesn’t shine much :see_no_evil_monkey: Thank you to tell me :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
