TOTAL BUILDING TIME:                       Hours:  3,524                   Months:  60

NOTE:  For the most part, the building time above does not count any planning, researching, ordering, task preparation,

shop cleaning times, and other similar activities, which add numerous hours both inside and outside the shop.  I estimate

that at least another 30% additional time is spent on these activities.  Also, the log does not consider any building time

contributed by friends and family members which adds up to the total building time.

 

 

 

Because I normally try to work on more than one task at a time, I felt it better to organize the building sequence per the sections in the manual, and not list them chronologically.  Therefore, tasks grouped in a particular section may not follow my actual building sequence, for which I keep a log.
