I was thinking that with all of your expert woodworking skills, you'd have it done in a couple of weeks :D (Actually, I wasn't even thinking it was done on a CNC...I thought it was "hand-made"....dummy me :-? )

According to the website, some of it is done by hand - final fitting of the parts etc. There's still a few things that are better done by people instead of machines. :)
