Information

      Here is a box that will amuse young and old. It is a gearbox with a gear opening. By pressing the handle the lid rises thanks to the gears. 
The decoration of the box follows the same theme with egg-hunting rabbits who look for eggs in many gears; There is also a little nod to our laser machines.
there are comic book style bubbles. In the file there is an English and French version. 
Accessible to all Xtool machines

we're going to mount the big cogwheels. 

you have two small pieces that look like a T.

You will position them inside the box in the holes on each side.

Above all, do not glue them because these parts serve as axes and they rotate the toothed wheels.

Then you will have to put a small washer on each side of the axis outside the box.

Then you put the large notched wheel, make sure that the notches are well fitted into the notches of the small cogwheel.

Then you put the rabbits on each side of the box, make sure they are both straight.

finally put a last washer after the rabbit

Be careful it is better to glue all the parts together. Be careful with the first washer not to stick it to the side of the box.

Then insert the handles (pedals) to the two rabbits and it's done 

, take the time between each step to let the glue dry.
