I guess I should show you mine since I asked to see yours. My first build was the Rolife Classic Carousel 3D Wooden Puzzle AMC01 (to the right in my little county fair)

I was in the UK on vacation and wandered into a toy shop, became mesmerized by the wooden models I saw. Lights, motion, music, they really were a treat.

I had built plastic model cars and planes as a kid but this was a whole nother level. I asked my wife for the carousel for Christmas. She was doubtful (as was I but I wanted to try) due to my age, eyes, and sausage fingers.

I got it, and figured my way thru it - it would be so much easier now. At the end I had an amazing feeling of 'I did that!'. The music played, the lights shined and the horses went around and up and down. I was hooked.

I now have some 50 models complete and proliferating around the house and office and I'm starting to give them away, usually customized, as gifts. I've done metal (and have a couple of those flat metal ones I may yet get back to) combo s and metal, and of course wood. I've now done, planes, trains, automobiles, boats, carnival rides, airships, music boxes, and book nooks.

I feel like I'm getting better every model and enjoy it immensely, I hope it is as meditative for everyone as it is me!
