From the very beginning until now, including the connecting rod tomorrow and some details like the adjustment bolts aside the sled and some more fine tuning & adjustments, it might have taken nearly 50 working hours to build it.
One more skilled model mechanic than me with a better machine tool equipment than I have will make it possibly in less than 30 hours...
Oh my , that's quite a bit of time invested ...you made it look easy.

Well, a rough finished one will bring $290.90 - cost of kit $145.83 = $145.07 profit / 50 hours, means you would get just under $3 an hour to build one…
