How long did it take you to do this project? By the way, nice job. Looks good.
It took perhaps 5-6 months being as I had a fulltime job and no enclosed area to build it. I built it in my driveway and covered it with tarps to keep the snow off. Such things as weather temps on weekends would determine whether I could glue or work with the resin. The tricky thing is to rip a 20 ft long 1"X10" into 20 ft long strips 1/4"X1". That's just a whole lot of ripping and sawdust.

Critical issue as always is front end prep, which in this case is an accurate strongback. Other thing is that there is a lot of hand fitting of complex angles such that you need to really know something about how to plane wood.
