I guess every man has pleasant memories about how in the childhood we boys were busy with the tree and created various masterpieces — whether it be the stool in the classroom work or the drawings, rendered on Board with vigilance. Whatever it was, the smell of wood definitely takes each of us back to childhood more than the movies or the music from those times. Therefore, we always experienced a pleasant thrill when friends from the company Ugears bring us a review of a new collection of his 3D puzzles.
Today I will collect this wooden constructor, which is called “Box”. A colleague from AppleInsider.ru Artem Sutyagin engaged in the Assembly of some exotic musical instrument, and I will show you what he did.
This constructor is included in a new collection Ugears, which the company launched in the Russian market in October this year. This was preceded by another successful crowdfunding campaign on the Kickstarter platform, which took place in June this year and collected 288 000 $ 3,000 investors interested in the project.
Like all the other 3D puzzles Ugears, “Box” made of plywood and in its original form is sheets of plywood, where with the help of laser cutting cut carefully numbered parts. Gently squeeze them, study the instructions and start assembling.
As always, Assembly is not required a drop of glue and a single nail: all the tools and the tools are in the box. Well, except that sometimes you have to hit kenockee, if the item doesn’t want to get into the groove. Just look do not overdo it: the veneer is very delicate and fragile material.
As stated in the description, the estimated build time is 2-3 hours. To me this process took a little more time. But that’s only because I haven’t collected these constructors and lost some dexterity. Yes, and the process is so pleasant that it makes me want to stretch. Even Confucius said that the journey is more valuable than achieving the goal. Although, when I saw the promotional video, I really wanted to make this box and experience the pride for yourself.
So, after a total time of about four hours drilling in 190 parts, I finally saw a this artwork: beautiful casket Ugears made without a single drop of glue and without a single nail. Look: it not only looks cool but also has functionality which is expected from the box.
Rotate the top cap, and the gears begin to move gracefully, releasing the key, located in the center. Take the key, insert it into the lock located on the side, and intricate elegantly cover opens. Close the box, remove the key, place it in a special compartment in the lid and the box is blocked. Of course, if an attacker really wants to steal your jewels, you break the box is not difficult, but it is in any case does not detract from the sense of pride in yourself that you experience after the completion of the work.
By the way, in addition to boxes, to us for review also came the toy called “hurdy-gurdy”, an Assembly which was engaged in Artem AppleInsider.ru. It’s not just a wooden trinket, but a real musical instrument. Included are two nylon strings and a list of tabs that will allow you to learn to play this instrument.
The toy consists of 292 parts, and Artem says that he on its Assembly took about five hours. But look how beautiful the result was. This is not a ukulele, which the hipsters indulged in five years ago: today in fashion completely wooden musical instruments.
It’s great that the guys from Ugears not sit idly by and each year surprise us with new and exciting 3D puzzles, which has already gained popularity around the world. By the way, another nice innovation: in the kit there is a sufficient number of spare parts, which is very useful if you consider that veneer is a very brittle material, which is easy to break during Assembly.
Toys Ugears is hardly practical devices in the bourgeois sense of the word. But they can give you a lot of fun: starting with the build process and ending with admiration at the result obtained. Well proud of myself after creating a wooden masterpiece — and it is priceless.

This process probably will take you for a longer time, but the joy of the obtained results will probably be even stronger.
Perhaps, it is difficult to imagine a more awesome gift for the New year, especially for a person who already has everything. Besides, if you spend money on the most expensive models of 3D puzzles Ugears, the catalogue has more affordable and simple toys.
