Excellent learning. It would be great to have a larger version for cutting wood larger than balsa wood.
I thought at first that it wasn't any good- but then I perservered,found a decent power source - either high powered batteries, or multi-adapter power socket, or what i use, the power gorilla (that charges up either from the plug, or for freer electricity via the solar gorilla)
With the correct power source, it cuts well, drills well, all rounder.
There are projects to build a fish wood cut out ornament (very easy), a plane (fairly easy), a garage (a bit more challenging but exciting).
It has a small jigsaw (the least safe of the items as least protected when cutting, but done with supervision especially, it's fine. (plus from age 11 they use bigger ones in school anyway- well i did anyway). I have to say, having the protector shield on a string so it stays with the machine, and doesn't get lost is a bonus, so it's always there to shield it when not in use.
It has a circular saw, which is extremely safe, as it's well protected even when cutting.
It's only suitable for balsa wood, which is thin, and not so strong, but it's a good beginners kit.
It has a drill. And a lathe, an electric sander, and a vice to put wood in when using sandpaper.
It has cardboard templates that hook over the cardboard - to draw the design on the wood, it has dowels, a spare jigsaw blade, and
more blades can be ordered.
It would be useful, if, like i said, it cut thicker wood, so it
could be used in other woodwork projects. And if it had some extra spare wood and dowels in practice on, but extra wood, and extra projects are also available from power workshop that look interesting too.

Its nice to buy something that actually does what is says on the packet! It saws, drills and sands a nice introduction to woodwork. My 8 year old loves it and my 12 year old is also getting a kit so that he can have a go too. Makes a Great break from computer games. Really good for cognitive skills and creativity. Lets hope they keep it up.

I bought this in the hope that I could prise my children away from there computer games and do something more rewarding.
It's still early days but they are loving it, so much so that there have been arguments who is going to use it.
My little girl is also wanting to get involved, she asked if she could make some items for a dolls house.
It definitely needs adult supervision until they have learnt the basics. Only down side really is that there is no mains adaptor in the kit and I think most people would gladly pay a few pounds more to have one included these days.

great gift item
This item is very good powered by an adapter however, the jigsaw part of it is very difficult to keep in a straight line especially for younger children but my son age 7 loves it.
