40 Hours unless the customer's screaming for parts in which case I'll work overtime, but I don;t get paid for this.

My latest invention has been keeping my machines running almost constantly, 12 hours/day, including weekends. In about a month, I'll be hiring a local to keep the machine fed so I can get back to playing.

I work in motorsport, so my workload is seasonal. Now the season has started things have slacked off a bit so I doing about 40 hours. However, from November to Easter is the busy time and motorsport people have difficulty with the concept of "next week", so the hours ramp up. Then I try to keep it below 70 hrs. Golden rule: never work Sunday.
