1. Ugears safe
While in the Middle Ages the emphasis was still on chests reinforced with metal bands, the triumphant march of safes began in modern times. These massive metal cabinets, often firmly anchored to the wall and floor, make it much harder for thieves to find their prey. The enormous weight of the safes prevents the cabinet from being taken along and the combination locks and the thick armouring make cracking on site an elaborate and not exactly inconspicuous undertaking. In addition to criminals, there are also innocent citizens who are interested in safes, for example the locking mechanisms inside. With the wooden safe you also have the possibility to build a safe from scratch. So that you don't get lumbago, the safe wood kit consists of plywood, birch wood and rubber. Before you can hold a fully functional safe including combination lock in your hands, you have to assemble it. You don't need any tools or glue for assembly, the parts pre-cut with a laser are simply removed from the plate. To ensure that the gears mesh smoothly, you should have a file or a small piece of emery paper and a small amount of wax (e.g. from a tea light) to lubricate the mechanism. Due to the complex combination lock, which requires precise work, the kit was aimed at advanced hobbyists.
Number of components: 179.
Construction time: Approx. 6-7 hours.
2. Ugears Dream Cabriolet
The 1950s gave automobiles a completely new look and produced absolutely unique, recognizable designs. The Dream Cabriolet VM-05 is a highly detailed and extremely realistic homage from the designers and engineers at Ugears to the highlights of the automotive industry of that decade.
The model is traditionally equipped with a rubber band motor that powers the mechanism and the car. The convertible can drive forward or backward. To ensure that you can get a close look at the beautiful, operational eight-cylinder V-configured engine, an idle mode has been introduced. In this mode, your convertible remains still, allowing you to peek under the hood and enjoy the beauty of the moving wheels. If you want to set your vehicle in motion, simply pull the gear lever on the steering column.
Both the front and rear wheels of the model are suspended to ensure ultimate smoothness. Move the front wheel coupling with the steering wheel to send the Dream Cabriolet in the direction of your choice. To make the design of this unique model even more realistic, Ugears engineers have added several key elements that make the automobile look extremely lifelike. Another mechanical feature is the opening mechanisms for the trunk and hood, which add extra liveliness to this highly detailed classic car. Number of components: 739. Assembly time: approximately 13 hours.
3. Ugears Mechanical case
The true jewel of Ugears new collection of wooden models is an exquisite Mechanical Treasure Box for jewellery and notes. Mysterious and intriguing puzzle boxes, known in many cultures and especially popular in Victorian England, could not pass by our attention. Beautiful recognizable Ugears design and traditional step-by-step puzzle give you the Treasure Box – delight to the eye and food for brain.
The delicate through-carved work of its lid and sides invites you to gain a glimpse into the mystery that the moving gears conceal. Although only the one who can solve the secrets of the puzzle-box will get to enjoy the treasure of beautiful mechanics in its action. One would imagine that in order to open the box, we’d need a key – and the key is right there, beautifully embedded in the carved lid. All you need to do to take it out is to slightly turn the key clockwise. Although, getting the key is only a part of the puzzle. To set the gears in motion, before taking the key out, you want to unblock the mechanism that lifts the lid by turning the key counter-clockwise. Intricate layered through-carved design of the box allows you to observe the work of gears while solving your puzzle step by step. When all the secrets are revealed and the box is opened, inside you will find a small compartment for jewellery, notes and other small items. Ugears Mechanical Treasure Box set can become a perfect present on its own or – assembled by you – to contain a mysterious gift for your loved ones within.
You may be sure, your treasures and secrets are safe with the new Ugears Mechanical Box like in your own home vault box.
