Follow these steps to assemble your Big Ben 3D Wooden Puzzle:
- Preparation: Unpack all components and lay them out on a clean, flat surface. Familiarize yourself with the different wooden sheets and the instruction manual.
- Identify Pieces: Each wooden piece is numbered. Refer to the instruction manual to identify the correct pieces for each step.
