Cory,
They are 1/16 offsets and 1/8 fillets. The reason it took me an hour to do it on the router is because I can't pocket super fast on the router. But at my work, it took 5 minutes on each side to make the pockets aka blanks via lathe. Then it was only a one side operation. The back side is plain (you only have to mill on one side, the other side doesn't have any offsets and such). It took less than half an hour at my work, but at school it would take a while due to the lack of a lathe and since our router can't go super fast in al.
