It took me 4 years to complete , to my satisfaction, my first pair of spurs. Now, my times are down to a month plus.
I have heard numerous makers state their goal is an eight hour day.
Buster Warenski and other top flight makers don't work by the hour. Churchill and Smith could care less about the time involved. To my knowledge both average a year plus on special commissions.
The craftsmen overseas don't think twice about putting 10, 000 plus hours into a piece.
In doing this type of work you have the choice between hobby, production and art.
There have been millions of painters in years gone by, but VERY few are remembered, as are Rembrandt, Picasso, etc.
Keep up the good work and follow your own path.
