You are the best the way you describe it you take your time and that’s what I like. I feel that you’re the only one you are a good teacher and have patience and thank you now I’m going to start doing mine. I have one I a gift and I have to do it thank you.
Thank you for your kind words.
your the best I had such a great time making this and following along to you thank god you made a video I would never assemble this on my own
I am glad you found the video helpful.
Thank you for your help. I couldn't have made mine without you.
You are welcome!
Ten days ago, I got this little thing delivered to me, after having it suggested on Amazon and deciding to order it. My area is sewing and embroidery so I decided to try something a little bit different. I didn't know what I was getting myself into because only 2 days later, I ordered 3 more kits. I've just started to assemble the last of my kits and loving every minute of it. I also got some acrylic paint markers to add some colour to them and the whole process is very calming.
When you broke the little piece, I felt that. I could see the pain, if that's possible.
I'm working on ROKR Romantic Carousel, if you want to have a look at it, I think it's really cute :)
Thanks for posting your assembly videos. Have a wonderful day :)
Thanks for the suggestion I ordered the Carousel today.
Which acrylic paint markers did you use?
@@b.r.4653 I used RATEL markers for general painting and ARTISTRO fine tip markers for details.
How hard its this music box for a beginer, i want this music box , as a gift for my daugther, (assembly by me)

Rob this Absolutely Amazing what you do. I Love music boxes and this one is like none I have ever seen. Great work Rob. Thanks for sharing your talent with. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed evening. ❤🙂💕
Thank you so much! Your video helped me to build my music box! I just love it! It was a birthday present from my co-workers. Thank you and best regards from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
I am glad it was helpful.
I had decided to order this kit and your video showed in my feed. This is wonderful. Shot well, wonderful background music, and clear. Thanks for this.💜🙏🏽
Thank you. I hope you find it helpful.
See there one am doing after too keep me busy

I JUST got this... Put it together and everything. But it absolutely, will NOT spin, and I've done so much to try and get it to-
It's likely you would have already tried everything I mention here. Do the gears move at all or are they bound? Have you tried removing as many gears as possible to get down to the central large gear, C8. Removing the pair (C8,P5) can be a bit frustrating, but you may have to get down to the core of the music box to see if there are an obstructions there. As a last resort you could start removing parts until it started running.
@@rgauck I have ran it down to all gears, including the biggest one. The central part that turns the gear Is not turning with it. I have a slight idea on how to fix it, but I am going to think of a couple idea... And all the gear move perfectly fine.. it just absolutely won't turn-
Even though the gears don't move, does the music still play?
@@rgauck yes it does-
There are threads on the post on the top of P1 and threads inside of P5. The two pieces are connect at the threads, see the end of section 6. Can you tell if the threads have been stripped on either piece? If the thread are still there does the post on P1 turn after winding the music box sound maker.
Well thanks for the video -- at least now we know there's something wrong with our kit since at 46:01 our pin will not actually fit inside the ball to flush. We're afraid to force it or it might break but the hole is just not big enough for the end to sink in like the others did. You did it with your hands -- we're pushing hard on a steel table (like the instructions show) and it will not go. Hopefully it doesn't matter. :(
One thing you could try is to wrap a small amount of double sided tape around the pin. That should hold the ball in place. It did not take much effort to push the pin into the ball with the kit I had.
I've just built this and it looks fantastic, but I find the mechanism to be sticking. I've waxed all the parts, but I think one of the central cogs was warped and that's likely the issue. Still, it looks beautiful.
Which cog seems warped to you? I will look at mine and see if it appears warped.
Am building one too Secret Garden? There one am doing
Muchas gracias por el video, sin él me habría costado muchísimo más montar esta pieza tan extraordinaria. Ahora a por más.
Me alegro de que haya ayudado. Disculpe cualquier error, utilicé Google Translate.
i thought i would be done but ran into a snag on step 10 where i connect the top and bottom. E13 and 14 seem to block the assembling of it. .. there looks a round hole but these two have oblong ends.other than that everything lines up.
you understand
bill
E3 sits on top of E6 and E5 (Section 5), C1 is inside of D3 and on the outside of E3 and on top of E13 and E14. C1 has two oval holes and two round holes. The oval holes fit into E13 and E14. The round holes are not used. Let me know if this helps.
When you put on the last piece of section 6, twisting the gear onto the box, is the gear somewhat leaning more towards the box and almost touching it on one side? I think I may of messed up along the way or something because it seems to almost scrap the box when it turns. I don’t want to continue as I’m worried it would break pieces!
The gear, c8, is nearly flat and basically parallel to d4.
Some things you might consider checking.
Section 1: Verify p1 and b8 are flat against each other. Verify verify a6 and b8 are parallel, this is where I had an issue. When I installed a7, one side of b8 would be lifted away from a6. I had to sand it a bit.
Section 4: Verify there are no gaps between p5 and c8.
I've just build this and I am stuck at part 5 where I had to put the big yellow into B6.
The stick just kept coming out the moment I push it in. Is there any ways which will allow the stick to be stay?
In section 5 Part C9 has a Sleeve P6 placed in its center. This is what holds Thimble P9.
Hi Robert, i dont know if youre still answering questions but, Im having trouble with part D1. It seems like it is supposed to rotate independantly from part B9/C8 but it rotates at the same rate and doesnt spin gear c. I can hold part D1 in place to spin gear c but it wont do it on its own. Is there a way to fix this?
Im also having trouble with part C8 as it is tilted on the music box and gets caught on the platform below iy
D1 should turn independently of B9/C8. Gear c touches the cogs on the inside of E7 (see section 7). Gear c will rotate as is turns with B9. Then gear c causes D1 to rotate. If C8 is not level the cogs will not mesh properly. I had to make some sanding adjustment to A7 in section 1. One of the A7's would cause the music box to be tilted. This caused missalignment issues. If this doesn't help let me know.
I just finished building this. I LOVE it but can't get it to keep spinning for the life of me. Taken apart and rebuilt it about 4 times now lol. It spins halfway around, but starts getting stuck on the second half of the spin. It almost seems like the threading is a little crooked, not sure what else i can do 🤷🏻♂️ still a beautiful sight though!
When I built this, I had an issue with one of the A7's in Section 1. The A7 would slightly lift B8 and cause the upper gears to not be level. The combined parts P3, P5 and C8 in Section 4 should easily turn onto P1 from section 1. Be sure to install P16 in Section 3. If that does not help let me know. If you would like to send a photo please go to ua-cam.com/users/rgauckabout to get my email address.
I got this for christmas and stuck in section 6. What has me stuck is trying to get the little black rings to go into the pieces. Granted i dont have a hammer to help, but whenever i try to put the piece in, about half of the circle doesn't want to go in.
It's at the point where I'm frustrated with it and just feeling fine with what I've finished so far.
You might try sanding a slight bevel on the holes to help place the P6's. A bit of wax might help as well.
At 45:24 do you use the p17 double sided tape on the p13 bead so it is a tight fit. For that matter should I use the double sided tape for all the small p13 beads?
I used the tape to stabilize some of the beads. The beads do not need to be real tight. I used enough tape to prevent the beads from falling off. Not all beads required tape.
I just received the City in the Sky Music box. I appreciate your video, because it's the only one so far that shows the assemble of the music box. My kit shows that you have to glue pieces together, you do not show that in your video if that is something that needs to be done. I love puzzles and music boxes, and looking at this assembly worries me that I might make a mistake. I know that it may be time consuming, could you show the gluing part of the assembly also.
I have not built the City in the Sky Music box. I ordered it today and it will be the next one I work on.
I have received the City in the Sky Music box. I plan to work on it tomorrow. Hopefully I will post it mid next week.
The video is now up. ua-cam.com/video/5pBT9FFmeWE/v-deo.html
i took a week off hoping that things would work. just watch section 8 again and notice yous was tight. mine rocks on e13 and e14.i have bind that i can work out but the upper and lower sections don't hold. if i push down on one section the other side comes up Tempting to remove the bind with a knife. putting it uo for a few days, some of the holes are getting worn out,
E7 is held up on 4 points. E7 makes contact with E13, and E14 as well as D3 one on each side, that should prevent it from rocking.. If it would help go to the about page of my channel you should be able to click near "For business inquiries" to see my email address. Send me an email and I will send you some close up photos.
Hey! I realized I did something wrong while building, but when I try to unscrew the bottom piece it just goes in circles and never seems to come off, is there a special way to get it off?
Hopefully you installed part P16. Without that part being installed it would be very difficult to get it apart. Mine shipped with an extra P11. I remove enough parts so I have good access to gear C8. Toward the inside of C8 are access ports. You should be able to see the ring of holes on P16 through these ports. I put P11 into a hole on P16 then I turn gear C8 clock wise. According to the directions it will only turn about 30 degrees per attempt. C8 can be removed but it takes a little while.
For a diagram see the drawings just before section 7 in the assembly instructions.
I am planning on recording another video this weekend. I will also record how I disassemble these parts.
I also made a tool out of a paper clip that makes it a lot faster and easier to remove C8, provided P16 is installed.
I have uploaded a Video showing how to remove C8 from P1. Using the manufactures way then my way with a tool I made. Here it is ua-cam.com/video/G9rsAe97uCk/v-deo.html
What type of button cell batteries do these products use? I have the Victorian Lantern and cannot find any info about what number is the batteries?
The Victorian Lantern (AMK61) uses 3 LR44.
i am up to section 3 step where i install P16. What holds the wheel on? i press on can see the flange.but falls o
i just dioffvered that some of my earlier teirs are coming loose.
P16 is loosely held in place by P5 from section 4. The only function P16 serves is to allow P5 to be removed if required, I have remove P5 from the base several times, P16 allows you to prevent the movement from turning. P5 is attached to the base towards the end of section 6.
Hello, while i was assembling i accidnetally put in two shaft sleeves on to P12, one of the metals and now i cant take it off. Do you have any tips or know what materials are the shaft sleeves.
I have had the same thing happen to me. I used a pair of pliers to remove the sleeve. Be careful, so you don't crush the piece.
My wax is melting, what should I do? It's broken every time I apply it
You can use candle wax. I usually melt the candle wax into smaller pieces to make the wax more manageable.
oh thx
a genuine question, does the tape in 29:06 should come in the kit, or is it something you have to get yourself? i keep looking over and over my stuff but i can't find it :(
The tape was included. The double sided tape is attached to a smallish rectangular paper. However, any clear double sided tape will do.
i just finished mine but how to turn on the machine?
It should start once you wind the musicbox. Does the musicbox wind up?
Hello thank you for your video. I was struggling fixing the issue with step 6 the small gear is not moving with the big one. It’s only the base gear which is can move. I mean the C and the D1 can you help me with that i really don’t wanna mess it up :)
The smaller gear D1 rotates independently from C8. Gear c is on a post that is inserted into piece B9 (see section 4). B9 rotates which causes D1 to rotate. Gear c rotates between Gear D1 and cogs on the inside of E7 (Section 7).
Thank you sooooo much it works and it looks amazing ❤
You are welcome.
I just recently got mine but it said something about wax…do you know which wax do they mean?
I have tried candle wax and it worked well. The candle I used was made of small pellets so I melted the pellets then created small solid pieces of wax.
i just got one of these for my birthday but i cant seem to get the gears to spin, i dont know if i need to assemble it all the way for the spin to work but i am stuck on part 6
The C8 gear is driven by the music box (P1). When you wind P1 does C8 rotate?
AY SAMEEE i got this for my bd present but i also stuck on that section *sob*
that bit next to to the main yellow bead that is supposed to "orbit" it. how do you get that to spin? everything else is working fine except that bit
the piece you are making at 46:13
There is a gear, C11, placed towards the bottom of P12 at around 51:20. That gear, C11, is assembled in section 6. C11 turns against D1 which is assembled at the end of section 4. Check the distances with the measuring tool, which is assembled towards the end of section 6. This will make sure the gears mesh properly.
@@rgauck the gears mesh properly when i move one with my fingers but the gear C11 doesnt move when i turn the music box on, neither does D1. so the rest of my music box turns except those two gears
The next item to check is to make sure gear C11 meshes with E7. E7 is assembled in section 7 and installed in section 10. The rotation starts at the music maker and is transferred to C8 and B9 via P5. As B9 rotates P11 has gear C11 towards the bottom which rotates between D1 and E7, with E7 being fixed in place, and D1 is a free spinning gear.
Hoe komt het dat ik dat yzeren plaatje er niet meer af kenkrygen als het verkeerd zit
Eén van deze video's kan misschien helpen. Als dit niet helpt, kunt u mij laten weten welk onderdeel u bedoelt. Het helpt mij om naar de instructies te kijken.

Hi I am currently putting this together and I am not satisfied with the way step 3 has gone together. It seems really loose and I am not sure if I did it correctly. The directions say to "pay attention to the arrow", but I am not sure what exactly to be looking for. I have moved on to the next steps and everything is techinically working, I am just worried tht this peice being loose may cause issues further into production. I think my set also came with extra parts (c12 and c4 I beleive). Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thank you so muhc for this video 👍
quick note: I do have the arrows lined up but I actually did what you did during that part in step three lol. the problem is that the top section is very loose from the bottom section and can be separated with minimal force. I was thinking about just using super glue, but I will give it some time and see if I get a reply.
Also, my kit did not come with the double sided sticky tape. Do I need these to be tight?
On Step 3 the arrow indicates where C12 should be placed. The arrow also indicates C2 relative position to B3. In that the arrows on each one point in the same direction. I would check that C12, C4, C13 and C3 are not upside down. Which piece(s) seem loose to you? I checked mine D4, C2 and B3 are all solid relative to each other.
@@rgauck Thank you for the response! So I made sure that all of the arrows line up and they do but C12 does not seem to connect fully to the bottom section.
Sorry I missed your last comment. Are A2 and A6 in the correct position in Step 1.
1:23:55 Memory From Cats
I just built mine and all seemed going well but the gears keep getting stuck although they're waxed. It jumps at every gear tooth. None of the parts were warped and it was put together properly. Anyone have any suggestions?
For reference the gear under the bead (the one that has more metal pole showing) seems to be too close to the bottom large gear, as if the hole the metal pole went in is slightly too close to the gear
I looked at mine. I noticed gear c8 in step 4 does not run very level. I will take the music box apart to see if I can determine why it is doing that. I will let you know what I find in case it helps you out.
I discovered a7 would lift b8 slightly in section 1. In my case this was causing c8 to not be level. I had to sand a7 slightly so it would keep b8 aligned properly, but not lift it.
Music box section 4 two questions i cant figure out from video.
B6-A B6-B and B6 - C SAYS THERE IS SUPPOSE TO BE A LINE ON B6-C. I SEE SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE A SMUDGE. I CAN,T UNDERSTAND THE ALIMENT GAUGE, LOOK THE SAME.
HOW IMPORTANT IS THE SMALL DOT ON BOTTOM OF BEAD? CANT SEE THEM ON SMALL BEADS,
THANKS BILL
I took mine apart to investigate. I see a line towards the bottom of parts B4, B5 and B7. Moving up the part from the bottom the line is near the first step out. The bottom of part B6-c should be at this line. To be honest I had trouble on the smaller beads as well. I didn't worry to much about it.
i am in section 6 WHERE INSERTED P12 INTO PART A. MINE WENT IN CROOKED AND WHEN I TRIED TO STRAIGHTEN I BROKE C10. I HAVE A SPARE . ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO INSERT PINS INTO P/6.
YOUR VIDEO ARE GREAT
Keep T1 reasonably level. T1 should give you more surface area to press part "a" into place on P12. You could also try freezing P12 which will make it shrink a tiny bit which may make it easier to slide onto P12. Should C10 brake again, I can send you may spare. You can find my email address on the about page here ua-cam.com/users/rgauckabout .
does it matter what side o P6 goes into the hole first.?
If I remember correctly P6 has a slight bevel. I would try to insert P6, from what would be the top of the other piece, with the nearly imperceptible smaller end down.
please help I put the metal gasket before starting to form it and now I can't get it out, how can I get it out? :(
Oh my, Hopefully you installed P16 as well. If you did see this video for a couple of methods to remove the metal piece, P5. ua-cam.com/video/G9rsAe97uCk/v-deo.html
If you did not install P16, you may be able to use a small pair of pliers to stop the spindle from turning so you can remove P5.
If this did not help please let me know I will disassemble mine and see if I can determine other suggestions.
@@rgauck Thanks for your advice, I was able to finish it.
Thanks for the update. I am glad you finished it.
I have uploaded a Video showing how to remove C8 from P1. Using the manufactures way then my way with a tool I made. Here it is ua-cam.com/video/G9rsAe97uCk/v-deo.html

Hi to everyone who has assembled this music box! I did not have a wax bar included. Can I just use a candle to wax the gears? Thanks in advance!
I have not tried that but, I believe it would work.
Oh my gosh I didn’t have wax either what am I supposed to do!?!
@@chaoticbloom1412 I just used a candle and it worked perfectly! And still works, all the gears move.
The video looks good however there appears to be no audio other than background music.
In general this is true for most of my videos, at least for now.
@@rgauck IF you decide to add audio in the near future please let me know
What would your preference be for the content of the audio? Here is a short video I created that contains audio for you consideration. ua-cam.com/video/G9rsAe97uCk/v-deo.html
@@rgauck sounds good please add more
Thank you, for taking the time to give me feedback. I value all feedback.
MINE KEPT ON BERAKING
Which pieces have broken?
That’s not starry night that’s memory from cats
I cannot find my p6
is there any replacment?
You mean the little yellowish spacers, "Shaft Sleeve"? I have extra spacers. If this is the part you need click on About of my channel ( ua-cam.com/users/rgauckabout ) and send me an email with your address. Remind me of the puzzle, part, and quantity you need in the email.
This old machine designer says great little kit, takes patience...! Taping shafts to accept beads is frustrating, built kit without smaller beads, added them later with a dab of hot glue. When finished added glue to keep main plates from springing apart. Also glued superstructure....wobbly! Now to find a dust cover.....
I did not give hot glue a thought. I like it.
