676 hours to build that? The equivalent of seventeen 40 hour weeks?
Does that include the time it took to grow the freaking trees? It's
nice enough, if that's your thing, but where did all that time go?


Looking at the log file, he built it over an 18 month period. If you
consider during that time, he likely had to get tools and supplies out each
time to continue, it's not all that unusual for excessive time to be
consumed.


There's also hours in the log installing band saw guides and some other
stuff that isn't really building the project.

But I agree that short sessions can drastically increase building time.
There seems to be a certain fixed "overhead" associated with each
session for setup, takedown, clean up, and getting the groove.
