DW has tried on many occasion to give the forum participants an idea of how long it takes to build a RMK. A while back Scott posted a rather humorous piece on the subject but I could not seem to find it. The fact is: There are so many individual steps to making any RMK and with required drying/curing times as well as going through many different hands and with some processes done in batches it is probably not only not practical but may not be realistic to state production time for any given model. An educated estimate is more than likely the best anyone could do.. I have been involved in process analysis time studies many time over the years and it is easier said than done.
