ROKR Ballista KW401

My daughter bought this for me for Father's Day and I just completed it. I have assembled many wood puzzles from Rokr, Ugears and Wood Trick. Your video definitely helped with the assembly. The wood used by Rokr is not nearly as good a quality as Wood Tricks. As soon as I pulled the piece back and it locked in place part C5 broke as I hit the release button. C5 was installed at section 4 and I wasn't going to uninstall it just to glue it back together, the cheap wood used by Rokr should not be made for something like this that is a working mechanism. Anyway thanks for video, it was great, the wood not so great. For a little extra money I'll stick with Wood Trick puzzles. I haven't had a bad piece yet with them.

I have not done a Wood Trick puzzle yet. I ordered one to check it out. Thanks

@@rgauck At 1:20:25 where you were trying to pull, release the trigger is the exact same problem I had. That's where C5 broke because this wood is to easy to break, you can't bend this stuff, it's to weak. It reminds me of the old Balsa wood airplanes from many years ago. I ended up taking it apart, gluing back together and then adding 2 staples to it so it wouldn't break again and it works great now. Once again thank you for the video and good luck with Wood Trick, I think you'll be happy with their wood puzzles.
