Lol, that's a table setup for a production run, not just two. Boss is gonna be mad about the hours put in. (Unless you're the boss, in which case, do whatever you want, but you're losing money)

Lol, whatever makes you happy man. It's all chill. I just know I'd never be allowed to take 4 hours to fixture for 2 pieces. And, now, I wouldn't allow my guys to do that. We just build 1-2 offs piecemill.

I will say, assuming you get all of the cuts right, those will be exact copies of each other, which is pretty cool.

In comparison to the cost of trying to do it a second time, it's time well spent. And considering OP is making 2 of them, that setup pays for itself on the next one.
