Building the Chassis:

The JHF chassis is very well engineered and layed out. Without a chassis table I was able to assemble the entire chassis by myself in less than a full weekend while the wife was out of town. I think I could have finished this step in ~10 hours if I had a good helper.

I would recommend having a helper for the assembly as it was very frustrating trying to align and square up the makeshift build platform and the frame rails without help. I probably spent 3-4 hours on these 2 steps alone.
