Doing this project as well. Currently in the middle of tuning my first bar, the F3. I don't have any fancy tools; just a regular handheld drill and a little sanding rig I made (which is also just a drill, clamped onto a workbench). After about 8 hours of drilling and sanding... I'm almost done with the first bar.
I'm guessing roughly two weeks of solid work just on cutting, sanding, drilling and tuning the bars. Maybe more, because at first I didn't really know what I was doing. Then at least 3-4 weeks making the frame, testing different ways to attach the bars, the damping bar, resonators... All in all several months of on-and-off work.

Is this for sale?
Thanks for your interest, but no, I've put so much time and effort into this that I couldn't sell it. I also want to use it for my own music.
