If I had to take a wild guess of the number of hours I would estimate 500-600. The materials are all steel, leather, and cotton. I think the pictures in the album provide a fairly decent overview of the entire process, and I'd be more than happy to give more detail on anything. via /r/DIY http://bit.ly/2RUC7sx
