Don't waste your money!! It doesn't work and really isn't worth the price. I have been satisfied by my other MW purposes over the years, but this product was a complete disappointment.

Great present for an 8 year old boy who has watched his dad his entire life doing woodwork around the house...would like it to be a bit sturdier but works.

purchase was a gift for our grandson age 7 1/2. He and his Dad made a candle stick holder the week after Christmas and had a wonderful time with it.

My 11yr old loved it, till he get to one of the tool that was broken. he was so upset. he wanted to play more but I said I had to return it. The part that was broken, it looked like a small screw driver that attaches to the machine. He can't wait to get the new one.

Very lightweight plastic housing, motor has insufficient power and burned out after only a few uses. The lathe would stop when just enough pressure to cut a groove was applied. Very disappointed, particularly given the steep price tag, and it is currently listed at $20 more than we paid last year.

The quality of this product is not good enough for a normal 9 year old. Too much plastic construction.

Find a way to secure it to your work area! Kit does not supply. An OK introduction to woodworking, a bigger practice in patience. Lathe doesn't line up; jigsaw doesn't install smoothly and locks up constantly; sander works fine, tho! Wouldn't recommend it for the price. Maybe try it for half-price.

Our son (11) was able to put it together himself. Couldn't get blade to run at first (sander ran); it worked when we realized the casing holding the blade had to butt directly against the main casing. So far the belt has jumped off its wheel twice (this is the first day he's used it). You have to completely disassemble the housing to get to the belt. Involves 4 or 5 screws, which are recessed. It works fine when it's working, and he likes it a lot, but if we have to spend 20 minutes resetting the belt for every 10 minutes of woodworking time, it's gonna be a pain.

My 7 year old loves this. The jigsaw is the hardest. He loves using the lathe. Really well made. Adults need to help switch between the 4 tools, or spend quite a bit of time teaching the child to do it.

Very cool idea, but it is not very sturdy or strong, broke after a few uses. It is a plastic frame and a weak motor.

Setting up the machinery is challenging and way beyond an eight year old. Operation is simple and he seems to enjoy it. Instructions are cryptic and could be expanded.
