But going under the assumption that all the equipment is ready go, and all the jigs are made, and perhaps the back, top and sides are pre prepared, and maybe even the bracing is cut, then 30 hours is ample time.

That's twenty hours. That's very, very, little time. Like you mentioned, there must be a fair amount of prepared items.
