> And, thanks to [a post in the _Retail Therapy: What’s The Most Fun Thing You’ve Bought on a Whim?_ thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/retail-therapy-what-s-the-most-fun-thing-you-ve-bought-on-a-whim/1020648/24), I also ordered a [wooden tram car kit](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CK1LKBC6); it will arrive this afternoon. I’m hoping it will scratch the same mental itch as assembling a Lego set, because these wooden kits are a lot cheaper! If it turns out well enough, I might offer it to my father as home decor: he loves cable cars and trams.

I hope you enjoy it! I’ll be honest, that’s way more complex than any of the wooden models I ever built haha.

While starting out, be mindful when you’re pushing the pieces out of the sprues. They generally come out pretty cleanly, but you’ll want to be careful in working/pushing the thin pieces out. (There’s generally a little “crook”-like tool to help push them out.) Work your way down the longer/thinner pieces and don’t try to “bend” them out, and don’t break any gear teeth! You’ll get the hang of it quickly.
