Table installation time, start to finish?

Who does rails in 45 minutes! Yikes it takes me about 2 hours, minimum. I've never been able to do those quickly. Everything else I am on the same schedule...so overall it will take me about 6-7 hours. But then again, I am not a real mechanic. I am pretty much a hack (but not as bad as some of the stuff I saw on the "Hack" thread!)

With new rails 45 min to an hour give or take a few minutes if you have experience doing rails.
Whether new or old rails if you sort of assembly line it seems to go faster.
Like on old rails - pull staples on all 6 rails first, install all cloth and featherstrips, then staple-up each rail to completion.
This way you're not constantly changing tools.

I like to change off. That way my hands do not cramp up as much.:thumbup:
 
It takes as long as it takes cold weather faster to stay warm, Hot weather slower to stay cool. New table faster, beat up with rebuild longer. Glue versus staple only a few minute difference. It all comes down to the quality and expertise of the installer no matter what brand table. Assuming it has all the parts at time of install.
