ROKR Owl Clock Mechanical Gears (Wood Model Puzzle)

We sell these ROKR brand 3D wood puzzle things at work. There's like a train and a truck and stuff like that but the Owl Clock got my attention! This one sells for $60 but I got it for half price. Cheep enough to test my curiosity.
Anyway, it took me maybe 5 hours or so to do. Lots of pieces, springs and gears. The clock part's kinda fake. I mean it's a battery powered movement doing the clock bit. The springs, gears and pendulum is all for a timer feature. That part is legit though, the pendulum acts as the escapement fork and clock springs (complete with wood ratcheting gears!) run the timer and bell ringer. The pendulum even has a spring loaded weight inside that can be moved up and down to adjust the speed. The kit could almost have been just the timer on its own. Doesn't need the clock bit and the same company has a legit mechanical (no battery) clock only model that we also sell but the owl just looks cooler!
Could make a cool gift for someone into puzzles or engineering? Takes some patience. I did break a few of the thinner wood parts and had to glue one of them back together!

Watching this just reminds me that I have like half a dozen model kits I still need to put together...

[@pjgumby]

Thank you for posting this, just bought one and some of the manual's instruction wasn't real clear but this video really helped to clear it up for me.

I've almost completed this clock, I'm looking at it now, I just have to put the clock and face together to complete, my suggestion... Read the instructions, it's not as complicated as you might think, but it is quite tricky in places, it's just a matter of taking ya time, the bell mechanism doesn't quite work properly, but I'm not going to use it anyway, maybe just the clock, but probably not, At the end of the day it's just a model, going to be put on a shelf, basically just take ya time with these, great vid though, 👍

That is a very interesting puzzle / model thing.

I thought you might like it. We sell these at work oddly enough (I work at a computer store lol) there's like 6 different ones we have but the own here seems to be the popular one after I bought mine I sold like 5 more and the other ones aren't really selling other than the other clock one.

I built this clock and it worked fine, I also built the steam engine which also worked fine.

[@janetstone9725]

No maaan! I need this last part slowed down .... the first part was easy... I needed the details clearer at the end....

[@squadxzo]

Oh you set the timer manually, first clock like this and I was winding the key expecting the timer to go up.

[@gzbis186]

A video that is polite to make. It's a fun work. I also make works using rokr. I hope you can see it.

[@user-gr2zu7nz5j]

The instructions are not on large enough paper. Should be twice the size. Not enough detail.

[@user-gr2zu7nz5j]

Found T1 and T2 useless

[@johnharrall8837]

Very difficult model to construct , the enclosed assembly booklet isn’t detailed enough, even by watched KZbin videos , I couldn’t get the clock to function

[@Videogamelover58]

Cool

[@norbertszabo7405]

The owls hoot? Nope. This one ticks and tocks and sometimea it goes brrrrzzzzzt. Good one Rokr.

[@MN12BIRD]

It's a bunch of wood gears and springs how would it hoot? The fact it has a legit mechanical clockwork inside is cool.

[@norbertszabo7405]

@@MN12BIRD Read between the words ofc cant hoot... I was just joking there.

[@user-gr2zu7nz5j]

They have great engineering. It’s a joy and a real challenge. But, missing parts are a real problem and very frustrating. That’s a long time getting them.

[@user-qp7iy7jh5p]

I bought one and its done but the problem is the timer is not working well i try to fix it but it broke few piece

[@annekabrimhall1059]

You skipped over step 5 but I really need to know where to put A13 and A14. I’ll have to guess.

[@justicemoonproductions5862]

I got one as a gift and couldn't get it to work.

[@garysigritz7405]

Yours's did not ring the Bell when the cycle completed.

[@allancurrie8088]

Yea I had trouble with mine, got it going sort of, but wasn't going to use it as a timer anyway, was still great time waster though 👍

...a JMB design...1887 lever action shotgun

It's GLASS PAPER Not sandpaper.

[@billbrown994]

Hi. Clock still working 1 year on?

[@MN12BIRD]

Yeah it should but I only used it once or twice for the timer and I don't use the battery powered clock part

[@marjoriealcock344]

The very pieces where I had difficulty you speeded up the video. So I am still stuck at the point you decided to speed things up. Totally useless from that point on.

[@meryltodd6389]

You can slow the video down, I needed to

[@clairemeyer4646]

Absolute ripoff. Deals with the easier part ( assembling the gears), shrinks from carrying the job to the tricky springs part. What' s the idea of exposing one' s inability in such a battant manner? The vdos on the Net all amount pretty much to the same: nobody really caring to ( able to?) assemble the blasted puzzle.
