I've never been 'on the clock' while building on of this size -- but probably 3 days 'start to finish', which includes a lot of waiting for glue to dry, waiting for lacquer to dry, etc. If everything could be done without any 'wait' time, I'd say maybe 4-5 hours (most of that being sanding).


(Box Notes: Bloodwood and Coffeenut with Sycamore pulls. Will be finished with lacquer).

A box like the one above is actually pretty fast to make. I can get a home-made 'rolling-pin sander' inside the drawer cavities to smooth them out a bit which speeds thing up significantly.
