       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.

       I consider the construction time of almost 50 hours to be a
       tight performance. Very good!

       Now I only have to decide if I paint it or if I dye it to
       antique metal with gunmaker's acid...

       Gunmaker's Acid would be my first choice. But there are very
       different opinions.

       I'd probably have to stare at it for a few weeks and see what it
       tells me it wants done to it 😄

       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…

       As I already said, on more skilled and better equipped mech than
       me will do it in less than 30 hrs....
       So you'll earn $ 4.83 / h ... I bet some latin fruit pickers in
       CA get less...  ;D
