The following is a compilation of the time I've spent building my Bearhawk. This is actual shop time (including making jigs and priming) but does not include time spent looking at the drawings, reading the CD, reading all of the Beartracks newsletters, researching the internet, ordering parts, etc. This is strictly build time, from the time I pick up my tools until the time I set them down. It is very accurate.
