It takes about 20 minutes to get the threaded clamps all set to the right length and laid out exactly as they will go on the guitar. The glue would set up before I got the last clamp on if I didn't have a system for getting them on quickly. When they're all laid out, I can set and tighten all the claps in about seven minutes. A pretty common rule most luthiers use is to dry fit everything first anyway.
