Awesome kit!
by Rob Scott (4 out of 5 stars)

I thoroughly enjoyed assembling this perpetual calendar. There's an incredible amount of detail all throughout the pieces. All told, this took me about three hours to complete. The instructions were clear and aside from a small curly-q end that looks like it broke off sometime before it arrived (I am NOT blaming shipping. The piece was deep in the stack of plywood.) Everything looks amazing. Unless you're looking for it, you're not going to see it so I saw no reason to ding the review a second star.

The only reason I bumped it down to four stars instead of five is because the example the instructions give as to how use/read it is wrong. So, for those of you looking to figure out how to use it correctly, and/or wondering why January and February are listed twice, this is for you.

To use the calendar correctly, take the last two digits of the year (in this case, 19, see picture) and turn the outer ring so that those two digits are sitting over top the current month. As the outer ring turns, it will also turn the middle wheel which has the days of the week. Moving the two digit year number will also change where the days of the week fall. When the calendar changes to the next month, rotate the outer ring to the corresponding month. As to why January are February are listed twice and one set is underlined? Leap years.
2020, 2024, 2028 and so on, are all leap years so for the first two months, use the underlined January and February listings. Once those two months have passed, continue on with the rest of the months as listed. Not a leap year? No problem! Just use the January and February listings that are NOT underlined as proceed as usual.

A pair of tips for assembly:
1. When removing pieces, push them out FROM the back. Hold the piece in front of you (if the numbers in the lower corner are backwards, turn the plywood) and carefully push from the back, so the piece is coming towards you. This way, if the wood doesn't make a clean break the plywood will pull away from the back of the piece instead of the front.
2. Lightly test fit the pieces to determine whether wax is needed. The kit includes some paraffin wax you can rub on the wood pieces to make assembly easier. If the piece feels like you'll need to apply some pressure, hit the corners of the tab with the wax. The tabs don't need a lot of wax so don't slather it on.

Other than that, have fun! You'll end up with an amazing looking, Mayan themed calendar that will accurately last into the 2040's.

Beautiful & fun build. You won't be disappointed

For any one who likes History or is a fan of the Mayan period, you'll love this exquisite piece. The directions were easy to follow and the item easy to build. I have built about 20 wooden puzzles so for newbies, it might be a little difficult, but the end result is totally worth it. Plus, the company, Wood Trick, Inc, is great to deal with. I initially encountered a small problem, which they were able to take care of right away. Already purchased two more products from them!

Nice puzzle! Perfect for Mayan Calendar enthusiasts. I had a problem understanding a part of the instructions, leading me to believe there were missing pieces. The company came thru very professionally and helped me solve my problem. I'm glad I reached out versus stuffing the purchase away as a loss.

A fun puzzle to assemble.

I have assembled about a dozen 3D wooden puzzles and this is one of the easiest ones. The instructions were very easy to follow and the resulting calendar looks great.

The only downside, and it is not with the puzzle assembly, is how to use/read the puzzle. Why is January and February listed twice, once with an underline and once without an underline and are they used.

Beautiful Wall Calendar

I didn't realize how large this project was going to be until I started assembling it. That's why I labeled this wall calendar for its size. It was fairly easy to assemble. You do have to sand down the edge a bit for easy fit. Once assemble it is beautiful and makes great perpetual calendar for the wall.

Beautiful piece! But it has no English instructions which wasn't too bad since there are detailed pictures to help. Only problem was trying to figure out how to use the calendar, which was a puzzle in itself! Very cool looking and bigger than I expected!

This kit was a bit of a challenge to build, and a lot of fun also. The only thing I would like changed is the directions could be improved, made more easily understood.

Great item. Purchased this for hubs because he likes to do 3D puzzles. He loved it. Spent about 1 day putting it together. I almost wish it was bigger so would do it longer. Anyway, now it hanging on a wall. Very nice piece.
