This project was a lot of fun! At first I was a bit intimidated by all the parts and pieces, but overall, it was enjoyable to construct! The instructions were spot on, the quality of the fabricated wood was decent and fortunately I did not break any of the pieces, and the orrery is totally functional.

I have a second project ahead of me and was gifted a lego-type solar system. Picture attached. We will see how it goes!

    And ORRERY was one of the answers in today’s NYT Crossword!

    Looks great! How long did it take you?

    Building an orrery is high on my list of things to put in my study … once I have a house with a study.
