A Cuckoo Clock - article about A Cuckoo Clock

When I was a little kid, I always loved having a cuckoo clock up on my wall. My cuckoo clock was the most sensational thing that I had ever seen at the time. I was 5 years old then, but still, I think that if I saw a cuckoo clock that even started to compare to it today, I would truly and sincerely be amazed. It was small, and had an alpine scene on it, with lush trees behind a quaint little cabin, from which the cuckoo bird would emerge every hour to tell the time. As I have gotten older, I must admit that I have become a bit jaded to such mechanical miracles, but back then, owning a cuckoo clock was a fine thing. There was something about the miniaturization of it all that just completely grabbed at my imagination. Oh, I am sure that I would like a cuckoo clock which was bigger as well, but the tiny little time piece on my wall was just delightful – a true mechanical marvel that really just completely grabbed at my childish imagination.

As I am not a very good craftsman, and have built very few things in my life, actually putting a cuckoo clock together took several tries, but when it was finally done, I was just simply overjoyed to have such a delightful project under my belt. Just imagine what it is like to make an artifact from your childhood by your own hands, and you will understand the joy that I got from a cuckoo clock kit. Although making a cuckoo clock took me hours and hours beyond what it seems like it should have, all of the effort paid off. I could have bought a cuckoo clock, but what would have been the fun in that, I ask you.
