Greetings from Fort Erie,Ontario
 

Hello everyone. Just joined the group after finding this site through a link. We have been considering purchasing a 4x4 machine for some time but just haven't had the funds. Maybe making our own is the way to go. Ideally, i would like to purchase a complete kit and do all the assembly as time really does not permit a complete fab job. How long has it taken some of you to fab up your machines? I know costs are related to components used, but can some of you provide rough estimates of your machines? I'm glad to have found this site and look forward to learning all I can. Thanx for any input you can offer me......Pete

Depending on your commitment to shop time, it could be as quick as 2 weeks or as long as it takes.
Most people fabricating this project from scratch spend an average of about 4 months working on the weekends and occasion nights.

If you focused completely on this project, it could be done in about 10-14 days straight.

Table 2 days
rails 2 days
electronics 4 days
assembly and programming 2 days.

2 days for paint job...

Thx ken :)
