Hey, I’ve been looking at the idea of turning restoration projects into a structured workflow so we can finish each piece on time without losing that soul‑full touch you love. Think a calendar of stages—prep, restoration, finishing—plus a quick quality check after each step. What do you think?

A calendar sounds nice, but a calendar can’t remember the way a table sighs when you scratch its grain with a hand‑made knife. I’ll chart the stages, but only if each point lets me feel the wood’s history again. Keep the checks quick—just enough to see if the soul’s still breathing, not a spreadsheet audit.

Got it—let’s keep the calendar as a gentle guide, not a chore list. We’ll set clear moments: prep, restoration, finishing, and after each one we’ll pause for a quick “soul check” – just a moment to feel the grain, listen to that sigh, and decide if the piece is alive. That way the schedule supports the craft, not replaces the craft. Sound good?

Sounds almost perfect. I’ll only approve a step when the grain whispers back, not when a clock ticks. Let the calendar be a soft reminder, not a hard line. Bring the soul in, and the deadline will follow naturally.

I love that spirit—listen first, then move on. The calendar will just be a soft nudge, a reminder of the next step, not a deadline. When the grain whispers, we’ll know the project is on track, and the rest will fall into place. Ready to lay out the first gentle reminder?

Alright, first gentle nudge: Monday, 9 am, “Prep time—clear dust, check joints, let the wood breathe.” No rush, just a soft reminder to start with a clean canvas.

Sounds good. Add that to the calendar: Monday 9 am – “Prep: dust off, check joints, let the wood breathe.” Easy reminder, no pressure. When you’re ready, we’ll set the next nudge.

Tuesday, 10 am – “Restoration: gentle sanding, reveal the hidden story.” Simple, gentle reminder, no pressure.
