Ron,

The 2-3 hours does not include time in the home.  Only time at the bench
doing the actual parts replacement.

        1/2 hour removing butts
        3/4 hour removing the corfam (steam is a wonderful thing)
        3/4 hour replacing with buckskin
        1/2 hour replacing butts

I have no idea what Baldwin has been sending out lately.  I have not done a
set for about three years now.
