Watch spellbound as a series of wheels, pivots, linkages and connectors, move turn and slide in unison. The magic is all there to see!
The motion of this mechanical horse was modeled from video of a running horse. It makes the wooden model kit come to life!
This model is made from select hardwoods, cabinet quality plywood, and precision components. The premium materials make it a pleasure to build and source of pride to display.
A turned wooden handle and an ingenious one-way crank mechanism ensures correct movement of the legs. No detail is too minor.

We are fiercely proud that our kits are designed, prototyped, and manufactured at our own factory outside Toronto, Canada using locally sourced wood products. This model kit for adults is made from a North American manufactured sustainable wood product (Fibrex). Model kits using this material accept glue, paint and sanding easily for first time clock builders.
Nearly all baltic birch plywood used in wooden laser cut kits regardless of where they are produced is sourced from Russia. In view of recent world events, we will not purchase materials we cannot verify the origin of.
